The Peach Blossom Village of the Cat Boss

Chapter 368
Everyone looked at Lu Zhizhong attentively, and listened carefully to every word and phrase he said.

Lu Zhizhong still looked like he was letting go, as if he was thinking, with an unsure expression on his face.

"There was a time when the tea ceremony circle thought that the spirit of our Chinese tea ceremony could be summed up in four words."

Lu Zhizhong said casually:

"These four characters are harmony, respect, purity, and silence."

"The so-called harmony means not only the harmony of harmony, but also the harmony of harmony. It embodies the spirit that dominates the whole process of tea ceremony. Harmony pays attention to the form, while harmony expresses inner feelings. The atmosphere in the tea room is based on this spirit of harmony. established."

"The so-called respect means that all people are equal. In the tea ceremony culture, anyone can enjoy and understand the joy of drinking tea and the spirit of the tea ceremony. That is to say, when we drink tea together, whether we drink tea Whether the identity of the tea maker is high or low, whether there is any entanglement, at least in the tea ceremony, there is no distinction between high and low among us."

"The so-called cleanliness means cleanliness, and sometimes it means neatness. Of course, cleanliness refers more to washing people. In the tea garden called Ludi, the tea people should pour clean water at any time. Before welcoming the distinguished guests, the teahouse is spotless. "

"The last is silence. Everyone can understand this word as soon as you hear it, quietness and silence. This saying is to recommend that you must calm down when drinking tea, integrate your body and mind into the tea ceremony, and feel it from the tea. The life and death of all things in the world are still. During this process, don't think wildly, and don't make loud noises or talk nonsense."

What a culture!

What this said, one set of one set, really makes sense.

Several tea ceremony novices nodded together, their eyes widened, and they all looked at Lu Zhizhong adoringly.

As expected of a master of tea ceremony!You will know if there is one as soon as you make a move.

This person really has a thorough understanding of the tea ceremony!It's not comparable to the messy news on the Internet, which makes people feel inferior!
Someone even took out a notebook and took notes quickly.

They were very happy in their hearts. With such a high spiritual connotation, presumably there will be no problems in the shooting of their new video.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after Lu Zhizhong finished these long speeches, he suddenly changed his style of painting and overturned his previous conclusions.

"However. If you have been in the tea ceremony circle for a long time, you will know that these four characters are actually extracted from the Fusang culture. This is the cultural basis of the Fusang tea ceremony! Its origin comes from Buddhism, so Fusang people especially love it. What kind of combination of tea and Zen."

Lu Zhizhong had a look of disapproval on his face:

"Actually, the so-called Nirvana is the beauty of loneliness. It has always been highly praised by the people of Fusang! They like to play with these things. No matter what it is, it must have something to do with the so-called Nirvana."

"This kind of tea ceremony spirit has the cultural background of their historical development. When the economic situation was good, Fusang people suddenly encountered a serious economic crisis and the real estate bubble burst... At that time, people's living standards suddenly plummeted, and many people became world-weary. Feeling that the world is impermanent and everything is meaningless. At that time, there were a lot of people fantasizing about going back to the mountains and living in seclusion..."

Lu Zhizhong, Balabala, said a lot of knowledge related to the tea ceremony, he is like an encyclopedia, he understands everything.

He also told a few historical stories related to Fusang Tea Ceremony by the way, and the listeners were amazed and enjoyed it.

"...Although the Fusang tea ceremony was passed down from our China. However, there was a time when the Fusang tea ceremony culture was better developed than ours. Even today, many people think that the Fusang tea ceremony culture is the one that inherited the orthodox tea ceremony. The Fusang people do have a set of rules in this regard, and that set of tea-making rules is more complicated than ours, which is really bluffing at first glance!"

"However... In recent years, Fusang people have gone farther and farther on the lonely road, and even become obsessed with the so-called beauty of the underworld... Anyway, it makes people look like humans and ghosts, and the spirit of the tea ceremony earlier has been forgotten. It's all clean, and drinking tea is troublesome to death."

"Anyway, I can't like them! They're too petty."

Lu Zhizhong continued to speak:
"Actually, after studying the tea ceremony for so many years, I have gradually realized some truths."

"If you want me to say, if we in China really have the so-called tea ceremony spirit, we can say it simply and clearly in one sentence."

"That is……"

"Heaven and man are one, Taoism follows nature!"

As soon as these eight big characters came out, everyone was shocked.

The unity of man and nature, Tao follows nature, and its connotation is very simple.

If you generalize it to the tea ceremony, there is no need for rules at all, you can drink as you want and look at it as you want.

Unrestrained, natural nature.

But if you are a knowledgeable person, if you think about it carefully, you will feel that these eight big characters are simply more difficult than reaching the sky!
May I ask the 36 lines of China, which line does not regard the unity of heaven and man, and the law of nature as the highest state?
But throughout the ages, how many seniors from all walks of life can reach the master level?

The so-called harmony between man and nature, Taoism follows nature, not just letting one's temper, doing whatever one wants.

There is an old saying circulating in China, which represents a person's spiritual realm.

"First, look at the mountains as mountains, and see the water as water. This stage represents a person's initial ignorance and ignorance of things, so what he sees, he thinks that he is real and sees what he sees."

"Secondly, looking at mountains is not mountains, and looking at water is not water. At this stage, a person has been able to see the essence through phenomena. As people's cognition of things gradually increases, they begin to realize that there are other things behind the appearance of all things. The law of operation. For example, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, water flows downhill, and spring rain and winter snow all contain certain physical laws.”

"In this realm, people can often try to achieve their goals by mastering some objective laws."

"Finally, it is the highest level! Mountains are still mountains, water is still water. This is the sincerity after reading thousands of sails, and it is returning to the basics."

"It's like putting it on the tea ceremony... At the beginning, just like you are now, I saw that there seemed to be many steps in making tea, but I didn't know why, I wanted to do it this way."

"Later, you will learn how to make tea, to understand the tea ceremony etiquette hidden behind He, Jing, Qing, Ji or Yi, Qing, He, and Zhen. When you gradually understand the meaning behind these words, you will follow suit. , after proficient training, I can reach my current level, or even surpass me."

"No matter how good you are at this level, it's just mechanized movements. You are just following the so-called rules."
