Nourish the heart with tea. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism permeate and unify each other, and * * * cultivates tea culture, which has become a dazzling flower in the hundred gardens of traditional culture. Therefore, it is necessary for us to deeply explore the relationship between tea culture and Confucianism and Taoism, pursue the influence of Buddhism and Taoism on the formation of tea culture, and then deeply understand the ideological basis and formation track of China tea culture, so as to better carry forward the traditional culture of the motherland.
Tea Culture and Taoist Thought
China Tea Ceremony absorbed the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism emphasizes' Zen tea blindly', helping Zen with tea and worshipping Buddha with tea. While appreciating the bitterness and quietness from tea, it also injects Buddhist meditation into the tea ceremony, which is beneficial for tea people to regard the tea ceremony as a way of self-cultivation and achieve the purpose of understanding their minds. Taoist theory injects the philosophy of "harmony between man and nature" into the tea ceremony of tea people and establishes 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.
1. The influence of Taoist development view on China tea culture.
Taoist thought has the concept of immortality from the beginning. How can people achieve immortality and immortality? One of the Taoist priests' answers is to take what contains? Vitality? Food, so as to receive special effects. It is at this point that tea culture and Taoism have a primitive combination. Hu Jushi in the Western Han Dynasty said in "Food Bogey"; ? Bitter tea makes you immortal? . Mao Wenxi of the Five Dynasties suggested that taking tea can become immortal. He is in Tea Tree: There are five Mengshan Mountains in Shuya Prefecture, and there are tea gardens at the top, among which there is Qingfeng at the top. . You can get one or two cups of tea from the ground, and you can get rid of chronic diseases by decocting in water here; Two two, when there is no disease in front of you; Three or two, solid for bone; Four Liang, that is, immortals. ? Can tea be served? Fairy? , is a living fairy on the ground. It can be seen that the effect of slimming down has long been understood by Taoism, and drinking tea is linked to the Taoist concept of enlightenment and immortality. In the Taoist view, tea itself is not only as unusual as Dan Yao and Confucian classics, but also one of the functions that can lead mortals to log into immortal books. Drinking tea can be extraordinary. Some Taoist priests regard tea as nectar in order to live forever.
2. Taoist concept of health preservation and China tea culture.
The first aim of Taoism is quietness, which is similar to the thoughts of Lao and Zhuang, the founders of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Laozi and Zhuangzi believe that the key to health care is to see through life and death, cherish fame and fortune, wash away humiliation and keep a simple and single-minded heart. Zhuangzi? No desire? 、? Peace with the world? Is a way of keeping in good health that conforms to the laws of nature, only? Less than last time, more than next time? Having fun will calm your heart. So? Quiet? This is a feature of Taoism. Tea is the only thing that can supplement the Taoist spirit. It is natural for people to drink tea. Tea tree likes humidity, because it is shrouded in clouds and grows in mountainous areas with high air humidity. There are few people involved, and they often rely on peace. Drinking tea requires calming down and taking your time. Only in a quiet state of mind can we taste the true taste of tea, realize the essence of tea tasting and get the pleasure of tea tasting. Only static products can make people calm and peaceful, realize the perfect combination of man and nature, and enter the realm of extraordinary selflessness. Lu Tong's Poems on Tea, Writing, Xie Meng's Suggestion and Sending New Tea are often cited as allusions. The poet closed Chai Men, sipping tea alone, and enjoyed himself immensely. Every time he drinks a bowl of tea, he has a detailed experience and tasted seven bowls of tea in a row. ? One bowl moistens the throat, and the other two bowls are lonely. Three bowls of heartbroken, only five thousand volumes of words. Four bowls of sweat, life is not smooth, scattered to the pores. Five bowls of bones and muscles are clear, and six bowls are immortal. I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the wind blowing under my arm. ? In calm and indifference, finally even return to nature and reality. Ann learned that tens of billions of lives fell off the cliff and were in great pain. I asked the whole people for advice, but must I have a rest in the end? Worried about the hard work of tea farmers. Li in the Tang Dynasty, also known as a female Taoist priest and poet in the Tang Dynasty. Cha Sheng? Lu Yu is friendly. She wrote a song, "I'm glad that Lu Hung-chien came when he was ill on the lake", saying, "The frost moon left before, but now I'm in the bitter fog, and I'm still sick when I meet you, so I want to cry first." I owe the Taoist wine, and I have to recite poems to thank my guests. I accidentally got drunk. What else? ? All poems contain the Taoist sense of nature, quietness and inaction.
? Quiet? It is an important category of Taoism, with quietness as its innate foundation. Lack of quietness leads to clarity, and clarity leads to communication. Quiet without desire? If a person has no desire, his guilty conscience is self-evident, so Taoism pays attention to eliminating distractions and gaining inner subtlety. Such as "Laozi" cloud:? To the virtual extreme, keep quiet and do everything at the same time. I'll watch. Everything returns to its origin. In the final analysis, it is static and motionless. ? Zhuangzi also said:? The water is quiet and bright, but the spirit is good. The mind of a saint is as quiet as the mirror of heaven and earth, and everything is quiet. ? Laozi and Zhuangzi all believe that when the emptiness is caused and the quietness reaches the extreme, we can observe that everything in the world will return to its origin when it grows up. Returning to nature means peace, and peace means the recovery of life. Still water can reflect everything, and when the spirit enters an empty state, you can see everything. If the sage's heart reaches this state, it can reflect the true face of everything in the world like a mirror. So Taoism pays special attention to it? Quiet? Think of it as a kind of kung fu, a kind of accomplishment. Taoism has been very familiar with the medicinal properties of tea in the process of health preservation, and of course it will also find out the natural attributes of tea. Quiet? With what they say? Virtual silence? The connection between the two will naturally integrate the pursuit of Taoism into the activities of tea affairs. Therefore, the influence of Taoism on the artistic realm of China wine tasting is particularly obvious. China Tea Ceremony Spirit? Quiet? The characteristics of Taoism are closely related to Taoism. As a cultural phenomenon, tea has always been loved by literati, because its indifferent, pure, natural and simple character coincides with their pursuit of indifferent, quiet, frugal and modest moral concepts. From the artistic conception of literati in past dynasties, we can easily understand what they are pursuing in silence. Extraordinary? Charm, consciously follow the law of returning to primitive tea art, all of which are permeated with Taoist charm and the color of Taoist culture. This is precisely the profound influence of Taoist culture and the subtle influence of literati.
3、? Harmony between man and nature? Philosophical Thought and China Tea Culture
Taoism advocates? Harmony between man and nature? ,? God? Represents nature and its laws, the ancients thought? Tao? Out of? Natural? , that is? Taoism is natural? This theory does not separate man from nature, matter from spirit, and thinks that matter and spirit, nature and man are an inclusive and interrelated whole, emphasizing the unity of things and feelings, but to some extent reflects the ancient people's recognition of the laws of nature and their envy and pursuit of natural beauty. Therefore, the ancients often regarded the mountains and rivers in nature as the carrier of feelings, attached feelings to nature, conformed to the harmony between man and nature, and was influenced by Taoist thought. Harmony between man and nature? Influenced by philosophical thoughts, the famous tea people in China all emphasize the unity of heaven and man, and traditional tea culture is a cultural form with a high combination of naturalism and humanism. Natural things that absorb the essence of heaven and earth? Tea and the spirit of the universe? People, with? Sexual intimacy? The communicative side, that is, the elegance of tea, is close to the quietness, purity, emptiness and lightness of human nature. It is precisely based on this that the natural nature and life spirit of tea can be highly unified in tea culture.
Humanized nature
Humanized nature, in the tea ceremony, shows people's desire to return to nature and people's understanding of' Tao'. Specifically, humanized nature is characterized by being willing to be close to nature when drinking tea, being able to communicate with nature in thoughts and feelings, and being comparable to nature in personality, and understanding the laws of nature through tea drinking practice. This humanized nature is a typical embodiment of the Taoist thought that "heaven and earth coexist with me and everything is unique to me". China tea ceremony is different from Japanese tea ceremony, and China tea ceremony has a strong desire for' humanization and naturalization', which shows that tea drinkers are pursuing the realm of returning to mountains and rivers and melting their hearts into mountains and rivers. When drinking tea with laymen, the eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty chose to sit opposite the Qingshan Lake in the depths of the white clouds. When drinking tea, he did not forget to experience the joy of mountains and rivers. To this end, he wrote in the poem "Drinking Tea with Kangju Qingshan Lake": Between the fireworks of the spring and the white clouds, sit and drink fragrant tea and love this mountain. The boat under the rock can't bear to go, and the clear stream is flowing at dusk. ? The flowing water of Qingxi around me is reflected, and the springs in the mountains are shrouded in clouds, sitting on the floor. Green tea entrance, fragrant and penetrating, I don't know where I am. I can do my best when drinking tea. Liu Yanshi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and his good friend Meng Jiao chose to make tea by Luobei Spring. In Liu's poem "Tea Making in Luobei Yequan, Meng Jiao", in order to get? Tea? what's up Really delicious? With fresh fire and odorless water, we can get close to nature while drinking tea, thus getting rid of the troubles in the world and creating a new spiritual world. In the Book of Tea, Lu Yu advocated? How are you? With what? Frugality? Tea ceremony thought. ? How are you? Tea leaves, tea sets, tea leaves and cooking techniques should be carefully selected and kept improving. ? Frugality? It means no extravagance, no extravagance and waste, and it is natural and delicious. Tea is the spirit of nature, its simplicity is natural and natural, and scholars care for each other, regardless of wealth and fame. Life is nothing, can you still have a cup of tea in the mountains? Tea tasting has always been regarded as an elegant artistic enjoyment by literati. Not only pay attention to brewing skills, but also pay attention to taste and pursue natural wild interest. Tea brings purification and purity to the literati, and the purity of the soul is integrated with the mountains and rivers, so that heaven and man can be integrated and the most natural true self can be found. The most wonderful thing in Zhu Quan's Tea Spectrum is the definition of tea drinking environment. In Zhu Quan's eyes, tea can help people? Go to the dust, live outside the gods, not on earth, not in the vulgar? Is there any way to cultivate it? So tea must be in a quiet place? Will it still be between springs and stones, under pine and bamboo, or above the bright moon and cool breeze? . Only when tea people reach the realm of humanization and nature can they turn the natural character into their own, hear the natural breath from the boiling sound of the teapot, approach with their own' natural nature', fit in with the nature of the object, and understand the tea ceremony, heaven and humanity. Drinking tea, in fact, is to learn to be calm, learn to be one with nature, with and without me, I seem to be in the mother of nature, with and without.
