The tea ceremony originated in China, but has declined.
Zhuangzi once told such a story in "Xiaoyaoyou":
There is a family who has made a living by washing people's mattresses for generations. There is a prescription. If you put this medicine on your hands in winter, your hands will not crack even if the weather is cold and they are exposed to water every day. (The origin of facial oil is true.
Very early.)
When a businessman heard about this, he went to him and said, "Sell me this secret recipe. I will give you one hundred taels of silver."
The family discussed, "We have been cleaning people for generations, and all we have accumulated is just a few taels of silver. Now we can get a hundred taels at once. Should we sell it?"
Of course selling!
Both parties trade, and everyone is happy.
The businessman got the secret recipe and recommended it to the King of Wu.
In the cold winter, the Wu people fought against the Yue people. The Wu people defeated the Yue people, and they relied on this secret recipe.
The king of Wu rewarded the merchant generously.
How to give a generous reward?
Break the ground and seal it!
This can be described as a step to the sky.
As for the Huanxi family, in addition to improving their lives, they still have to rely on washing people. And if there are no big changes, they will probably continue like this for generations to come...
Of course, this story is not very appropriate to describe the experience of tea ceremony in China and Japan.
It's just that there are so many things in China that I can't even cherish them.
On the other hand, Japan, after accepting the tea ceremony, "treasured the broom itself", and then flowers bloomed from the dust.
This is true not only for the tea ceremony, but also for many other things.
China, anyone who has studied English for a few days should know what this word means, but its original meaning refers to ceramics.
China, the ancestor of ceramics, the source of ceramics, china = China = ceramics. But today, in the international market, Chinese porcelain has sales but no brand.
Where is the best porcelain?
It's Japanese.
It's European.
If the brand cannot be built, the quantity will eventually be lost, until in the end, there will be nothing left.
I'm afraid Chinese medicine will be like this one day in the future.
In fact, judging from the teacher's narration, it is almost the same now.
Our dross will be discarded without fear, and then it will become the essence of others, and then become famous and shining all over the world, and then become the dazzling pearls of its own civilization and culture.
The old man can see clearly.
Xu Guangling is young after all. Although his character is indifferent to many things, when he thinks about these things, he is still a little upset after all.
The three of them moved to the side room together.
Ito Matiri clapped his hands, and then the waiters below came up one by one, brought the necessary things, and then went down again. There were still only three people, Xu Guangling, left in the side room.
The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly.
The warm spring sunshine shines through the corner of the large window and shines on the small half of the wing, making it appear quiet and lively.
It was in this atmosphere that Mari Ito started performing the tea ceremony.
It's more of a practice than a performance.
Xu Guangling saw seriousness, devotion, immersion and even a little bit of self-intoxication. This kind of physical and mental state was very familiar to him.
A few months ago, he was like this many times.
As for now, as his understanding and understanding of Fuxi Jue becomes deeper and deeper, in a sense, Xu Guangling has actually been immersed in a certain state, not a state of concentration, but the second best.
Therefore, he can switch seamlessly between day and night, because there is not much difference in physical and mental state between these two time periods.
Probably because of following the local customs or taking care of Xu Guangling's habits, Ito Mari's tea ceremony performance was not very formal. Neither the guest nor the host was very formal. Well, it could even be said to be very informal.
However, the meanings of harmony, respect, purity and silence are there.
Mari Ito has it.
Ito Matiri has it.
Xu Guangling also has it.
"Xu Jun, please use tea!" Ito Mauri made the tea, and finally Ito Mairi presented it to Xu Guangling.
Xu Guangling stretched out his hands to take it, then nodded seriously to the two sisters and said, "Thank you very much!"
After drinking, Xu Guangling put down the cup in his hand and took another empty cup on the table. Under the surprised gaze of the Ito sisters, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Ito Marri and said: "Miss Ari, you gave me a cup of tea.
, as a half-landowner, I will also give you a drink."
Ito Matiri was a little puzzled.
However, Ito Marri happily took it. When she brought her hands to her mouth, she did not drink it immediately. Instead, she smiled and said to Xu Guangling: "Xu Jun, if I give you two cups, three cups, or ten cups, you will also
Will you give me two cups, three cups, or ten cups?"
"No more, just this one cup." Xu Guangling said.
"Hey, stingy!" Ito Mari muttered in a low voice, but in such a quiet environment, there was no difference between her low voice and her loud voice.
Ito Matiri felt embarrassed and wanted to explain to Xu Guangling but didn't know what to say.
Undefeated across the sea of commerce.
But my teammates are pigs.
This stupid sister can’t do anything!
The next moment, Mari Ito drank all the water in the glass.
But just after taking the first sip, her eyes brightened with inexplicable joy. After finishing the drink, she even coquettishly said to Xu Guangling, "Xu Jun, give me another drink!"
"We have agreed on three chess games, and there are still two left." Xu Guangling said, "If you can beat me..."
Before Xu Guangling finished speaking, Ito Mari stretched out her little hand, turned her palm upward, and said, "A gentleman's words."
Xu Guangling smiled and shook his head, but he followed his intention and also reached out and patted her hand gently, "The weight of the nine tripods."
Ito Matong's eyes flashed.
After moving back to the chess table from the side room, Ito Mari's face turned bitter as soon as she sat down, and she looked at Xu Guangling helplessly.
Xu Guangling was unmoved, "Miss Ali, in the second set, it's my turn to go first?"
Ito Mari pouted slightly, then nodded slowly.
On the chess board, with Xu Guangling's current level and level as the first player, as long as he doesn't want to lose, no one can beat him. It never happened before, and it never will happen in the future.
As if she had accepted her fate, Ito Mari completely gave up resistance, and after three attempts to eliminate two areas, Xu Guangling killed her to pieces.
The third set started quickly.
In this game, the positions were castled again one after another.
As a result, Ito Mari, who took the lead, became serious again, and looked much more serious than in the first set. Even her small body sitting upright looked quite imposing.
From the beginning of the chess game to the end.
In the many fights in the middle, she performed extremely amazingly every time. It was a move that even Xu Guangling was amazed and amazed by several times.
However.
but.
Xu Guangling did not give in.
So this set ended in a draw between the two sides.
"Miss Ito, Miss Ali, farewell. I wish you a pleasant stay in China!" Xu Guangling got up and went downstairs.
