Kingdom of Chinese Tea Comparison between Chinese tea culture and Japanese tea culture
| Comparison between Chinese tea
culture and Japanese tea culture It's not easy to compare the whole structure of tea culture in these two countries. Chinese tea culture has a longer history and its structure is more complex. Japanese tea culture comes from China, but after the absorption and creation of Japanese people, it formed its own characteristics. 1. Japanese tea culture mainly focuses on tribulation, which comes from Buddhism. They emphasize tolerance, bitterness and loneliness while our Chinese tea culture contains not only Buddhism, but also Confucianism and Tao. I am not saying that Japanese tea culture is less important or in a lower position than Chinese tea culture. Japanese tea culture absorbed some best part of Chinese tea culture and made it complete and special. It embodies ethos of Japanese people, and has an important position in tea history. 2. Japanese people like asymmetry, but Chinese like symmetry. So there are many windows to form asymmetry. And most Japanese tearooms are very simple, silent, peaceful and mild. 3. The procedures of Japanese tea culture are very complex and difficult for people to master, while Chinese tea culture has many styles and forms, simple or complex, easy or difficult. กก |
