Where does the concept of tea art come from? Where does the art of tea come from?

I first learned about the word "tea art" literally from the book "Basic Knowledge of Chinese Tea Culture" written by Professor Chen Wenhua: "The term 'tea art' first appeared in Taiwan in the 70s. In the seventies of the twentieth century, after the revival of tea culture in Taiwan, when the establishment of a tea culture organization was conceived in 1978, he accepted the suggestion of Professor Lou Zikuang, chairman of the Taiwan Folklore Society, and used the word "tea art" of Anxi Tieguanyin to establish the "Taipei Tea Art Association" and "Kaohsiung Tea Art Society".

In 1982, the 'Chinese Tea Art Association' was established." Since then, the term "tea art" has been widely accepted. It has also landed in Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland.

So, who first proposed this "tea art" and who was the first to introduce it to the mainland? Anxi Tieguanyin is nothing more than focusing on Lou Zikuang, Fan Zengping, Wu Zhenduo and other three people in Taiwan. In this regard, I have consulted three experts, Chen Wenhua, Yu Yue and Fan Zengping, in person, and there are still arguments, but fortunately, it has nothing to do with the topic of this article, so I will not discuss it here, but one thing is certain, Mr. Fan Zengping was the first person to bring the "tea art" from Taiwan to the mainland (the first stop was in Shanghai).

As for why it is called "tea art" and not "tea ceremony"? How was the "tea art" determined? Mr. Fan Zengping explained it this way:

At that time, in order to promote tea culture and promote the folk custom of drinking tea, some people proposed to use the word "tea ceremony", but some people thought that although "tea ceremony" has existed in China since ancient times, Anxi Tieguanyin has been preoccupied by Japan. Another concern was that the word 'tea ceremony' was too serious Chinese the word 'Tao' was particularly solemn and relatively high-minded, and it might not be easy for the public to accept it quickly, so the word 'tea ceremony' was proposed. After some discussion, everyone agreed that the decision was finalized.

The so-called concept of "tea art" in early China has no profound connotation, but only from the craft of "brewing", and there is no artistic embodiment of "tasting". Tang Dynasty Lu Yu's "Book of Tea? The Source of One:

⊙o⊙)…Let's ...... Chinese tea ceremony

What is Tea Art?

Don't listen to any messy things such as tea culture that complicate contemporary culture.

The art of tea is to know tea, brew tea well, and drink it healthy.

If you don't know tea, where does the tea art come from, if you don't know tea, how can you make tea well, and what is the purpose of brewing tea, of course, it is to drink health. Is there anything else?

This is the correct definition of tea art, not a performance, and it is not something that can be replaced by a tea master certificate.

The art of tea originated in China and is inextricably linked to all aspects of Chinese culture. So, what is your understanding of tea art?

How to understand the art of tea

First, simplicity is an organic combination of "tea" and "art". Tea art is the tea people's daily habit of drinking tea, according to the rules of the tea ceremony, through artistic processing, to show the tea drinkers and guests the skills of brewing, brewing and drinking, leading the daily tea drinking to art, improving the realm of tasting, and giving tea a stronger one. spirituality and beauty.

Tea art by Taiwan Chinese Tea Art Association Mr. Fan Zengping changed the Chinese tea ceremony to tea art, the tea art written by the ancients is poetry, since ancient times is the tea ceremony, the source of tea art does not represent China, but Mr. Fan did not obtain the consent of the Chinese nation, and promoted the Chinese tea art to China, and performed on the stage of a little girl, so everyone thinks that the tea art performance is the tea art, the tea art is the tea art performance, resulting in the Chinese tea has no essence, it is a very superficial thing, now the world only knows the Japanese tea ceremony, and does not hear that China has a tea ceremony, Tea experts and professors in China have always touted that the Japanese tea ceremony originated in China, but they did not mention tea, but mentioned tea art, which is really disappointing.
