At present, the introduction of Taiji tea ceremony is mostly just some fancy tea-making techniques combined with some Taoist theories. However, I was shocked by something I accidentally got from a friend about the tea ceremony of Jiang Taiji. Tea and Taoism should have such an interpretation of how tea carries Taoism. Below I attach the content, whether it is adopted or not depends on your opinion on tea.

Tai Chi Tea Ceremony: Tai Chi spreads the inner trinity, that is, the unity of mind and body, the unity of heart and qi, and the unity of qi and strength. It is used to make tea, so that the tea maker can integrate body and mind, balance yin and yang, and combine rigidity and softness. In this process, he knows, feels and understands Tao. Through special practice, he can achieve the unity of knowledge and action, the unity of tea people and the unity of god and spirit.

Taiji Tea Ceremony Rhythm: Every tea soup has a big rhythm of beginning, climax and ending. According to the general trend of the rising or falling period of tea, tea makers are given the strength to be soft, loose, tight and cohesive, and blend with tea to support tea with qi, so that every tea soup of tea is full (tea fragrance, tea taste and tea fragrance), thus achieving a perfect life of tea.

The core strength of Daji Tea Ceremony: softness, looseness, firmness, tightness and cohesion.

Flexibility: soft-hearted, breathing soft and long, heel off the ground, arm up;

Relax: relax your heart, breathe easily for a long time, relax your arms, and don't exert yourself;

Concentration: the heart is relaxed, and the starting point of qi is Tian Dan (abdominal contraction), and the arm is relaxed without exertion;

Tightness: relax the heart, breathe backwards, the lower abdomen gradually contracts inward, and the arm continues to exert force (3, 5, 7,10);

Cohesion: relax the heart, breathe backward, the lower abdomen gradually contracts inward, the heel continues to push the ground, and the arm continues to exert force (3, 5, 7, 10).

The main points of Tai Chi tea ceremony sitting posture are: listlessness, heavy shoulders and elbows, chest and back pulling, feet shoulder-width, shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, and hands and feet.

The goal of Tai Chi tea ceremony: harmony between essence and qi.

Static: the landing point is on the body, and the correct sitting posture is required;

Qi: There are two kinds of breathing, one is nasal breathing, mainly lung, which is called acquired qi, and the other is abdominal breathing, mainly kidney, which is called congenital qi. Tai Chi is soft and soft with looseness, soft with looseness mainly based on innate qi, tight with tightness mainly based on innate qi, and you will choose according to yourself;

God: the landing point is in the heart, and the inner requirement is:

One: be calm;

Two: broad-minded, large capacity;

Three: the heart is clean, pure and dust-free;

Spirit (body and mind) is linked by qi. Being calm means being harmonious, while being calm means being lazy. If you can't leave your body, you will be in harmony with the Tao.
