China Tea Ceremony absorbed the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Buddhism emphasizes "Zen tea blindly", tea is used to help Zen and tea is used to worship Buddha. While appreciating the bitterness and quietness from tea, Buddhism and Zen are also injected into the tea ceremony, which is beneficial for tea people to regard the tea ceremony as a way of self-cultivation, so as to achieve the purpose of clearing the heart and seeing the nature. Taoist theory injects the philosophical thought 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.
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 the covered cup with tray "the cup with three talents". The cup holder is "ground", the cup cover is "sky" and the cup is "person". It means big, big, big, big. If the cup, plate and lid are served together to taste tea, this cup-holding method is called "three talents in one"
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, it pays attention to the health care and nourishing emotion of tea.
