In vegetation in: original nature spirit of the spirit of nature
Just look at this "tea" word, the grass, the trees in the next, people in the middle - in vegetation in the.
Way tea, green leaves in the water stretch, the mixing of fragrance, aroma reveal, tea drinking activities at the moment as the most lively and expressive, and completed the combination of man and nature, the natural spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony explained to the extreme and become the spiritual heart of the tea culture. The stream of vitality and live performance is due to its inherent deep historical heritage, and traditional cultural identity, spiritual, and physical carrier and the close correlation between people's lives, all common casting a Chinese tea ceremony is compatible with the quality of modern civilization.
China is the homeland of tea, Chinese tea is a Chinese tea culture and tea on a significant contribution to the world, not all the time he revealed the essence of Chinese culture. "Heaven" spirit, "Imitation of Nature" spirit, "introspective," "Your true" spirit of the Imitation of Nature, a return to basics attitude towards life, and the unique aesthetic spirit of the Orient. Among them, the spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony in the natural shine in every part of both, which is typical of Chinese tea is good and the beautiful spirit of the Chinese style, is also a history of world civilization and human culture, the history of the deep part.
• "Heaven" and the natural spirit of Taoism
Act, the law of the heavens, Law Road, Imitation of Nature.
- Lao Tzu "Tao Te Ching"
"Heaven," the spirit of the universe from ancient China, a simple understanding of and attitudes. In the heart of Chinese tea, tea is one of the things, one who is all things, who are the natural result of tea equal to the two things I forgot to state, as the highest state of tea.
Taoist doctrine was tea in the tea ceremony into a "Heaven and one" philosophy, the soul has set a tea ceremony. At the same time, it also provides a respect for nature, advocating simplicity, advocating ideas and aesthetics are really born again, your health, and health ideas.
First of all, the spirit of Taoism Heaven and natural expression in - "human nature", in the tea ceremony in the return of humans to the natural desire, as well as on "The Road" realizing. In particular, the personified natural performance in the tea when enjoying the natural close, in the ideological emotional exchange with nature, the personality can be compared with the nature and practice through the tea things to understanding the law of nature. Such people of course, is the Taoist "Heaven and Earth and I was born and everything and my only" a typical expression of ideas.
On the other hand, as a "naturalized" and also the personification of all things of nature, humanity. China tea has absorbed the Taoist ideas of all things natural as a human character, emotion, and spirit with the person to communicate with each other living organisms. Chinese tea ceremony, the natural vegetation in the landscape of not only the people of the environment such as tea, but also includes people of tea and tea sets. Tea person in the eyes, on friendship, mountain love, the wind love, the clouds love, the nature of everything is tea good friend.
Taoist view of nature, has been the spiritual life of the Chinese people and the concept of the source. Taoist love of life, the eternal pursuit, are deeply penetrate in their view of nature. Opened the first page of tea culture and history, "Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, case of 72 day drug, may solution Tu and the" it and Taoism and the natural view is very consistent. In the Taoist view, is a natural part of human nature and man, life must go where people use the natural properties of matter. Also because of the Taoist "Heaven" in the spirit of philosophy into the tea ceremony among the tea in China was filled with strong love of nature, the Chinese tea have a return to nature, a strong desire to get close to nature.
2, "and"
Chinese tea ceremony, in the form of expression is common in the naming of the tea and the tea of understanding. People used to have tea tray covered cup called the "Three Powers Cup." Cup holder for the "land", the lid is "days", cup "man." Mean big, big way, who is also great. If the cups, trays, lids end up with tea, a cup of this technique known as "unity with God."
Thus, ecological, human attitude, mentality, three-state harmony.
So, by nature, to nature and humanity found in nature, are found in the natural spirit, all are sexual, all are natural.
"And" Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism common philosophy.
"And" - the spirit of the Chinese tea ceremony and the core of Confucianism, embodied in, and the United States; Taoism and reflect no form, no conventional beauty; Buddhist of and reflects the norms of the United States.
Whether China's late famous Tea Science Village of late-fong initiated to "clean, the United States, and, respect" as the center of tea ceremony, or the 16th century Japanese tea ceremony, who is the master Sen no Rikyu made "and, Respect, Purity and Quiet" is The basic spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony, tea ceremony are designed to highlight the core of the spirit - "and" - day, to and, and.
And respect, and clear, and the lonely, and clean, and quiet, and thrifty, and beauty, and love, harmony, and in harmony, width, and disconnecting, and exhortation, the harmony (harmony and solidarity, reconciliation, smooth), and light (talent Meaning, do not reveal edge), He Zhong (respectful, and good), peace, easy, and the music (harmony and happiness, Concord musical), gentle, and the like, warm, and Ji, and the sale (publicly traded), and soup (soup made of water and fire the contrary, whether complementary to each other and to and) and Rong (the ancient friendship and alliance that the Han and minority nationalities), delivery, and (military relative), and wins (recovered), and into (diet moderate), etc. significance. [2]
A word "and" not only cover all aspects of Respect, Purity, Quiet, clean, thrifty, the United States, music, static, and so meaningful, but also weather, geography, and the various levels is also the "three powers Cup" the best explanation.
We believe: in all the Chinese characters could not find one than "and" more prominent core of Chinese tea, Chinese tea culture, the spirit of covering up the words.
3, Dao Fa Zi Ran a return to basics
Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes "Imitation of Nature", contains a substance, behavior, mental three levels.
Substances, the Chinese tea ceremony, said: "Tea in the south of Ka wood." Tea is a kind of table mountains and rivers of the Aura, set heaven and earth, wind exposed, including the British Tsui Wah, Hong Appreciation of spit, which is a masterpiece of nature, is the first hundred herbs, flowers, wooden million. Only tea, tea, tea must be the laws of nature can be output of good tea,
Behavior, the Chinese tea ceremony in particular about the activities in the tea things, everything should be natural and delicious, a simple and delicious, the East is, smooth, quiet, such as mountain rock, laughing is like flowers in Spring since the opening, made the appeal as spring Yin, a show of hands, every move she makes , smiles, should be sent from the natural and let the heart and mind, no better artificial.
Spirit, the Imitation of Nature, which leads to performance for his heart is completely liberated, so that his state of mind be quiet, tranquil, lonely, inactive, so that their minds filled with tea, as if their integration with the universe, sublimation to "understand me" state.
"Man and Nature, Object and mysterious will" is the philosophical foundation of Chinese tea aesthetics, the concept reflects the kind between man and nature, harmony, were I raised each other, each gathering, and ultimately "Scenes, Love and Jing Ming, "the spirit of these very human face contact. [3]
4, Mencius, "the 1st three provinces"
In social life, the Chinese claim there is order, Xiang Xie dependent, more friendship and understanding. Relationship with nature, stand with nature, the five elements coordinate to obtain a copy of nature, but not the endless round, destroy balance. Water and fire could have been confrontational, but under certain conditions it can be compatible with mercy.
Confucian Chinese tea ceremony to introduce this idea, advocated in the communication and thinking of tea and create a harmonious atmosphere, promote mutual friendship. Tea can be more of the trial has been, self-examination, awake and look at ourselves and look at other people awake. The results of their introspection, is to strengthen the understanding of that unity, a guest a cup of tea to yours truly, that friendship and respect. This harmony, the spirit of friendship from the tea ceremony in the Mean.
Chinese tea culture, Confucianism "golden mean" thought as the core. Tea culture theme of the spirit of moderation thinking to "sober, philosophical, passion, harmony and tolerance" constitutes the spirit of Chinese tea culture, gay style. Brewing process is to achieve a harmonious balance of the process.
5, "you really" thought
You really - the relationship between man and nature of communication requirements.
You really, is the emphasis on the affinity between man and nature, the pursuit of Unity of the True. This is the core of the Chinese tea ceremony, but also the charm of the traditional tea culture, tea is also the ultimate value of life to pursue.
Really, is the main content of Taoist philosophy. Traditional Chinese tea culture, the true stress, including the nature of the true nature of tea, tea of the environment and the real truth of human nature.
First, the nature of the true nature of tea. Tea is the day the spirit of Han to shoot a manned education, their natural nature pure, elegant, simple. People find tea, use and enjoyment, both on and feel the true incense, Zhen Wei, also have spiritual authenticity, really interesting. Tea, from the initial medical to the enjoyment of life, from the refreshing natural function of the spirit of calm the mind Shenyi the role of tea from the natural character of society, such a gradual understanding or process, not only out the course of human understanding of nature, but also reflects a high degree of fit between man and nature, harmony and unity of the process.
Second, the environment of the real tea. It tea, also have the right environment, atmosphere and time, "Tian noted interest in equipment, can be said to really carry on to make tea." Days of interest refers to the naturalness of the environment, wild tea needs, quiet, clean, clean the natural environment. Selection of scholars of ancient tea times, they can not do without pine, bamboo, plum, orchid and piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc., which is communication between man and nature, when the "truth" of the pursuit, but also the spirit of humanism and nature cross blending, the perception of beauty.
Third, the disposition of real tea. People drinking tea, in addition to the external environment, the key must also have internal state of mind. Natural harmony with the people's state of mind, people can truly relax into the realm of ecstasy, to achieve self-cultivation, taste the purpose of life. [3]
If a Chinese tea ceremony and the multilevel nature of the interpretation of the universal spirit of nature, natural
Chinese tea ceremony advocating natural beauty, easy-going United States. In contrast, the Japanese tea ceremony, Zen Buddhism, mainly due to, among deserted seek to promote mind and matter as one of pure beauty, one of the "four rules", "7" and Da Gong meditation, people are rarely able to feel the fun Nature. China tea from the tea up to the spirit of the original activity level, greater emphasis of art natural aesthetic, and this also caused the Chinese tea ceremony is not strictly follow, and seem to become a tradition.
The multi-level, the depth of Chinese tea culture from the public sectors of the Song Dynasty, the most prominent representative is the size of the rise of cities and towns extensive restaurant, teahouse, tea shops, tearooms. Rich folk and more in different parts of the "tea folk", the Chinese tea ceremony in the conscious, free, freedom, and that full respect for human nature, nature, nature's way of life to the whims and relieved of the realm of the spirit of Chinese tea is a natural revealed in the.
On the contrary, the Japanese tea ceremony, although advocates, there are many well-known family, the tea ceremony is very influential among the population, but the social, the public line has not yet reached the level of extensive. In other words, China's tea more people, the Japanese tea ceremony is more typical.
These two points are in line with Chinese national characteristics - respect for nature, simplicity and humble, do not re-form and free. This tea is also, unlike the Japanese tea ceremony and has a strict religious atmosphere.
Affectionate old world view: Dancing with the spring
Control concept of nature is the deepest source of ecological crisis.
- [Canada] William - Rice
Rice pointed out that the root causes of environmental problems is not the science itself, but rather an ideology that is the concept of control over nature must be re-interpreted in such a way, it aims at the ethical and moral development. [4]
When Rice first time this line of printed text into my eyes, I immediately found that people today need to rebuild a new world view, but from the extensive and profound Chinese tea ceremony, we can get rich and valuable lessons. Ancient Chinese cosmology the value of love and care, through the development of Western modern history, to fully reflect its light.
"Benevolent unaware and things with the body," Cheng Ming "smart Ren Chapter"
"Abundant universe, is a mass of muddy business" Luo Rufang "Xu Tan Tadanori" on the volume
Between heaven and earth are full of vigor, all things are brought out lively business: the universe is a big statement, a unified family life.
A view that the universe's own life, the universe is his own life, yourself made of breeding, not by an external God created:
Second, that Everything has life, the universe all things are endowments to life, all with the spiritual life, rather than static state of dead.
These two points can be reduced to the same nature and the Creator and the creature's unity. [5] that comes from traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism, Taoism, Zen philosophy, the good idea that the affectionate one hand, the formation of the universe to enhance the spiritual content of tea, high tea for vitality, on the other hand for the upgrade of modern civilization is indestructible in the future.
This ancient wisdom tells us -
For meat dish on the mad plan to limit the extravagance, without limiting the long-term stability would be difficult;
For the common pursuit of mankind's material and spiritual development of the ideal of high society, to mood lively and positive; the noble science and nature should live in harmony with the attitude of calm, work together to jointly create a bright future of human society .
This spring, we no longer alone.
This spring, let us dance.
