[How to perform Chinese tea art? Answer]
Conditions for performance There are many basic conditions for tea performance, such as clothing, venue, acoustics, tea sets, tea leaves, assistive devices, water and so on. Clothing styles are diverse, but they should be consistent with the theme of the performance. Clothing should be decent, dignified and generous, in line with aesthetic requirements. For example, "Tang Dynasty court tea ceremony performance", the costumes of the performers should be Tang Dynasty court costumes; For example, the "Three Tea Performances of Bai Nationality" is based on the national characteristics of Bai nationality; "Zen Tea" performance is suitable for Zen clothes. Performance environment The selection and layout of tea performance environment is an important part. The performance environment should be clean, neat, bright and tidy, and the outdoor environment should be clean. The environment should be good tea or refreshing, or under the turquoise spring. We should also prepare places for watching movies, chairs and drinking tea. For example, the Japanese tea ceremony should sweep the courtyard before the tea party, hang simple and thought-provoking calligraphy and painting, arrange flowers and decorate small flowers. Indoor, so as to facilitate the tea performance, let you enter the artistic creation of tea performance. The music to be performed should match the theme of the tea ceremony. Just as the theme of costume and tea performance is the same as that of Korean tea performance, both of them contribute to people's affirmation and recognition of the performance effect. For example, the "West Lake Tea Ceremony" uses the music of Jiangnan silk and bamboo; Zen Tea uses Buddhist music; "Gong Liuzi Zhuquan Tea Ceremony" uses guzheng music. Etiquette in Performance China is an ancient country with ancient civilization and etiquette, and is known as the custom of treating guests and offering tea. Tea is the messenger of etiquette, which can harmonize interpersonal relationships. In all kinds of tea performances, there are etiquette norms. For example, the "Tang Dynasty Palace Tea Ceremony" has the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty court; "Zen tea" includes the etiquette of monks to guests after offering tea; In the Japanese tea ceremony, there is the etiquette of the host to the guests; Etiquette of guests to guests; People's etiquette for utensils. In the "Taiwan Province Oolong Tea Show", the performers paid tribute to the guests, thanked them for watching, and bowed to the guests after making tea. When saluting, the saluter should pay sincere respect to the other party. Salute should be moderate and inexpensive, which is reflected in this etiquette from the deep heart, including the perspective of eyes, the softness, consistency and swing range of actions. Position, sequence and action in tea performance: the position, sequence and action in tea performance, including the position of main bubble and auxiliary bubble, the order of entering and leaving the scene, the walking route, the walking action, the order and action of tea worship, the position of guests, the order of vessels entering and leaving, the position of placement, the order and route of vessels moving, etc. People often pay attention to the moving destination and ignore the moving process, which is one of the obvious differences between tea tasting performance and general tea tasting. These positions, sequences and actions follow the principles of rationality and scientificity, conform to aesthetic principles, follow the spirit of "harmony, respect, purity and silence" and "sincerity, beauty, harmony and respect" in tea ceremony, and meet the requirements of China traditional culture. "Fine, clear, clean and beautiful" (fine, ripe and skillful) of tea art performance: including famous tea, special tea and high-quality dry tea. Water must be good, and tea sets must be of high quality to match tea. Fine and excellent, making a good cup of tea soup is amazing. Proficiency includes proficiency in tea properties, proficiency in tea selection, furniture placement, water selection and tea storage, and proficiency in brewing procedures. Cleanliness (purity, purity and harmony, innocence, sobriety, eliminating distractions): Cleanliness includes refreshing people, water and environment. Tea can make people clear-headed, which is called refreshing. In the environment of tea performance, it is difficult to be "clean", but the pursuit of "clean" requires not only tea performers, but also the audience to be "clean" through tea performance. Hand washing and dust removal in Japanese tea ceremony, lighting incense in Taiwan Province oolong tea and burning incense in Zen tea. In all kinds of unpretentious tea sets, tea drinking activities are unconsciously sweeping away the dust in people's hearts and making it clear. Cleanliness (cleanliness, purification): including people, clothes, environment, tea, tea set, water, etc. People are clean, such as washing their hands, combing their hair and keeping their clothes clean and tidy. Specifically, don't wear rings on your fingers, try not to let the audience feel lipstick and powder, and don't paint your fingernails. The tables, chairs and benches are free of dust, and the places are free of sundries and dirt. The tea set should be washed clean, the water should be clean and meet the drinking requirements, and the tea should be clean and free of sundries. The other is to purify people's minds and hearts without distractions and evil thoughts. Beauty: Beauty should conform to the beauty of tea ceremony, the requirements of aesthetic appreciation, the expression of Taoist tea art and the aesthetic taste of China traditional culture. If the clothes fit, the clothes are decent and generous, and the environment is beautiful and refreshing, for example, is the etiquette in the tea ceremony beautiful? Is the position, order and action in the tea performance beautiful? Whether the tea set is matched, whether the environmental layout is beautiful and so on.
