Taoist tea ceremony theory: the unity of man and nature
China Tea Ceremony absorbed the essence of Confucianism and Taoism. Taoism injected tea ceremony into tea people? Harmony between man and nature? The philosophy of "tea ceremony" laid the soul of tea ceremony. At the same time, it also provides the aesthetic concept of advocating nature, simplicity and truth and the idea of rebirth, attaching importance to life and keeping in good health.
Because of Taoism? Harmony between man and nature? China tea people are full of great love for nature, while China tea people have a strong desire to return to nature and get close to it, so China tea people can understand it best? Love is plain? Passion and? More conscious of ghosts? That kind of harmony with nature? I'm mysterious? A wonderful feeling.
Respect others
In the tea ceremony in China, the idea of respecting people generally exists in the naming of tea sets and the understanding of tea. Tea people are used to calling cups with trays? Sancai Cup? . What is a cup holder? Land? What's the lid? God? , the cup is? People? . It means big, big, big, big. If the cup, tray and lid are served together to taste tea, what is the technique of holding the cup called? Three talents in one? .
Guisheng
Valuing life is the utilitarian thought that Taoism injects into tea ceremony. Under the influence of Taoist thought of attaching importance to life, preserving health and enjoying life, China Tea Ceremony pays special attention to "the power of tea", that is, the function of health care and nourishing emotions.
Taoists don't pay attention to too many rules when tasting tea, but use tea to stimulate internal strength for the purpose of preserving health and paying attention to life. Such as Ma Yu's "Ren? Tea "wrote:
A cup of tea, two cups of tea, don't give your heart to fame and fortune, and never sleep.
Wuwei tea, natural tea, God-given meditation Taoism, sleepless work.
It can be seen that Taoist tea drinking is different from secular people who are keen on fame and fortune. People who covet utility and fame will lose sleep when drinking tea, which shows that their spiritual realm is too poor. Tea, on the other hand, is the nectar and fairy dew given to Taoism by God. Drinking tea will make you more energetic, more aware of the Tao without being sleepy, and increase your skills and behaviors.
Some Taoist experts regard tea tasting as a great pleasure to forget the troubles of the world of mortals and enjoy the spirit of leisure. In this regard, Bai Yuchan, one of the five ancestors of Nanzong, wrote in Mink Head? The word "Yong Tea" is well written:
It rained in February and thundered last night. Guns and flags compete for exhibitions, and Jian Xi leads the way in spring. Take branches and tongues, mash them with dew smoke, and refine them into purple and gold piles. Crushing infinite spring, flying green dust.
Draw a new spring, cook a live fire, try the future, put down rabbit hair and taste your tongue back. Wake up Qingzhou, fight back against the sandman by millions, and never dream of a balcony. There is a breeze under my arm and I want to go to Penglai.
Sit down and forget.
? Sit back and forget it? Is Taoism trying to realize it at the tea ceremony? To the extreme, keep quiet? And put forward a quiet method. Influenced by Laozi's thoughts, China Tea Ceremony? Quiet? As? Four truths? One. How to make yourself feel at ease when drinking tea? Leave no privacy, no dust, no mistakes? What about the ethereal realm? Taoism also provides a quiet method for tea ceremony, called? Sit back and forget it? Is to forget your body and your intelligence. Tea ceremony advocates the communication between man and nature, melts the boundary between things and me, and? Destroy the Xuanjian? Is it really delicious? Beautiful photos can be seen? Sit back and forget it? To achieve.
No ego
Taoism's attitude of being free from famous religion and naturally broad-minded is also the way of life of China Tea Ceremony. Taoist "no self" is the "no self" pursued by tea ceremony. Without me, it is not to destroy yourself physically, but to eliminate the opposition between things and me mentally, so as to conform to nature and accept everything. ? Without me? China Tea Ceremony is the highest pursuit of artistic conception. In recent years, tea people on both sides of the Taiwan Province Strait have frequently jointly held international conferences? Without me? Tea party, Japanese and Korean tea people also actively participate, is this right? Without me? A useful attempt in the field.
Taoism is natural.
China tea ceremony emphasizes? Taoism is natural? Including material, behavior and spirit.
Materially, China Tea Ceremony holds that tea is the best wood in the south? . Is it a gift from nature? Really elegant? When planting, picking and making tea, we must conform to the laws of nature in order to produce good tea. In behavior, China Tea Ceremony pays attention to the beauty of nature, which is simple and unpretentious. When moving, it flows like a rock, quiet. Laugh like spring flowers, talk like mountain springs. Raise your hand and smile, all from nature, free your mind, and never be artificial. Spiritually, Taoism is natural, returning to nature, which is manifested in completely liberating one's sexual experience, making one's mind quiet, indifferent, lonely and inaction, making one's mind filled with the fragrance of tea, as if it were integrated with the universe and sublimated to? Without me? Field.
The main body of China tea culture is people, tea exists as the object of people, and tea exists for people. China tea culture is called the philosophy of beauty. There are five reasons:
1. The roots of China's tea culture aesthetics can be traced back to the pre-Qin, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The master who laid the foundation of China's classical aesthetic theory is a great philosopher;
2. Its theoretical basis stems from some philosophical propositions;
3. In the development process, China tea culture aesthetics mainly absorbed the philosophical theories of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and benefited from the promotion of a large number of thinkers and philosophers;
4. China's tea culture aesthetics emphasizes the unity of man and nature, exploring the mystery of the universe from a small teapot and appreciating the taste of life from a light tea soup;
5. China's tea culture aesthetics has a profound and extensive influence on tea people from a philosophical point of view, especially in thinking mode, aesthetic taste, artistic imagination and personality formation.
In a word, the aesthetic thoughts in China's classical philosophy sneaked into the night with the wind, silently nourishing the wonderful flower of China tea culture. In China's tea culture, there are both the ethereal beauty of Buddhism, the mysterious and broad-minded beauty of Taoism and the elegant and implicit beauty of Confucianism.
To sum up, some people draw the following conclusions:
The development of tea culture in China is from bottom to top, so its characteristic is breadth, which is the so-called tea culture, and it has an indissoluble bond with Confucianism. It can be said that it is unrealistic to separate China's tea culture from Confucianism. It is precisely because of the free and easy literati in China that China's tea culture is in a state of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Because in China culture? Tao? This is a very sacred and serious matter. So, China just called tea in general? Tea culture? Or? Tea art? Dare not say it? Tea ceremony? .
