Japanese Tea Ceremony-Harmony, Respect, Purity and Silence From the Tang Dynasty, the custom of drinking tea in China was introduced to Japan, and in the Song Dynasty, Japan began to plant tea trees and make tea. But it was not until the Ming Dynasty that the unique Japanese tea ceremony was truly formed. The owner is Morikyo (1522-1592). He clearly put forward "harmony, respect, purity and silence" as the basic spirit of Japanese tea ceremony, and asked people to reflect on themselves and communicate with each other by drinking tea in teahouses, so as to get rid of inner dirt and mutual ill feelings in purity and silence and achieve the purpose of harmony and respect. "Harmony, respect, purity and silence" are called "four tea ceremony" in Japan. Harmony and respect are the guidelines for dealing with interpersonal relationships. By drinking tea to regulate interpersonal relationships, we can live in harmony and respect each other. Clear and quiet refers to the environmental atmosphere, and it is necessary to create an ethereal and silent artistic conception and cultivate people with elegant and quiet environment and simple furnishings. However, Japanese tea ceremony is very religious (especially Zen) and has formed a strict organizational form. It realizes the "four tea ceremony" through very strict, complicated and even tedious performance procedures, and lacks a relaxed and free atmosphere. In the early days of heian period, the most outstanding Japanese monks in the Tang Dynasty brought China's tea trees back to Japan and began to plant them in Sakamoto, Feng Jingen. This is the beginning of tea planting in Japan. During the Kamakura period, Shang Rong studied the processing methods of tea in China and brought high-quality tea seeds back to Japan for dissemination. He wrote the first one in Japan at 12 1 1.
The so-called "flower path" is the method and technology of properly intercepting branches, leaves and flowers of trees and flowers and artistically inserting them into flower devices such as vases. "Flower Road" or "Flower Road", also known as "flower making", is one of the unique traditional arts in Japan.
In the 7th century, the Japanese introduced ideographic characters from China, which were called Chinese characters. After China's calligraphy was introduced into Japan, the elites first followed suit.
