Features: "What is tea ceremony design? What to design? How to design? Where does it come from? Friends interested in tea culture are certainly interested in these questions. However, this knowledge cannot be found in previous books. Now, let the author of this book help you answer these doubts. With tea as the soul and tea utensils as the main body, combined with other art forms in a specific spatial form, it completes an independent-themed tea art combination—this is a tea ceremony. 'Tea ceremony design' is an emerging discipline in contemporary tea culture, eagerly awaiting research from the tea studies field. It has long been said that constructing a study of contemporary Chinese tea culture is a great event. Many tea scholars have moved beyond the endless interpretation of ancient tea culture texts or the repetitive compilation of tea knowledge, now turning their attention to the research and discussion of contemporary Chinese tea culture practices. Those hard yet fresh, urgent yet persistent issues that Lu Yu had not yet addressed in the The Classic of Tea may find systematic and scientific answers in the not-too-distant future. Truly, due to the short time, one should have dug into 'tea ceremony design' to uncover a quiet tea art structure like a deep well; or meticulously examine each constituent element of tea ceremony design, playing with them to reveal their millennia-old bond with tea in an orderly manner. At the very least, one could still systematically reorganize it several times, letting the flowing hair of analysis wave like waves, perhaps even capturing a few more lingering glances of admirers. But now, these still belong to beautiful wishes. The book hastily put together is still rough, but thankfully, it is a pathfinding effort. There will be someone to guide along the way. This is what I always hope for."
