The combination of Zen tea and calligraphy originated in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, monks and literati often splashed ink, cooked tea and burned incense in teahouses. Later, this form developed into tea culture. The purpose of tea ceremony is indifferent, pure, harmonious and natural, which coincides with the artistic conception of calligraphy, and * * * shows a picture of quiet years.
The existence of the famous calligraphy teahouse makes people have a different understanding of calligraphy. Mao Zedong has a famous saying in "Spring and Snow in Qinyuan": "Catch up with Wan Li and sing. Leaves fall like the spray of a waterfall, and I watch the long river always roll forward. " After reading this sentence, people will feel the rolling water of the Yangtze River and imagine the land covered with fallen leaves. If you see Chairman Mao's handwriting, you will have a deeper understanding of this sentence. There is more emotion and personality between calligraphy and brushwork, which embodies the accomplishment and strength of calligraphers.
The persistence of famous calligraphers in Zen tea has made us gain more extensive gains in writing, aesthetics and philosophy, and rediscovered the prosperity, beauty and significance of life.
