Way of Tea 茶道

Chinese tea ceremony, as evoked by this stage performance, is less a fixed “ritual code” than a theatrical distillation of values that evolved around gongfu cha in South China from the late Ming, and especially the Qing, period. At its core lies the idea that tea reveals character: historically, southern literati used meticulous brewing and tasting sessions to judge not only the leaves but also a host’s refinement, self‑control, and sensitivity to timing, temperature, and social nuance.

Modern tea‑art performances (茶艺表演) turn this ethos into choreography, with schools systematising gestures, cup arrangements, and even hand positions to visually embody harmony, respect, purity, and tranquillity in a way an audience can read at a glance. The music, costume, and stylised slowness are less survivals of a single dynasty than contemporary inventions that compress centuries of practice into a few minutes on stage, making the “Way of Tea” intelligible to tourists, students, and urban Chinese who seldom drink tea this way at home.

In doing so, this performative branch has helped propel gongfu cha into the realm of “intangible cultural heritage” and onto the global stage, turning what began as a regional oolong‑brewing method into a widely recognised emblem of Chinese elegance, often contrasted with the more codified, Zen‑inflected Japanese tea ceremony.

Wenn man diese Dinge fotografiert,fangen auch gleich die Gedanken bei einen Shooting an,was kann ich noch machen mit diesen Motiv,nachdem ich zuerst die ganzen Scheiben fotografiert hatte,kam mir die Idee,sie in die Hälfte zu schneiden und eine andere Kreation einer Scheibe zu machen,meine Ergebnisse mit den Nebel und den Lichtern :))
Pip1-6: Nahaufnahmen mit den halben Scheiben Kiwi und Limette

When you photograph these things, your thoughts immediately start flowing during a shoot: what else can I do with this subject? After first photographing the whole slices, I had the idea to cut them in half and create a different slice composition. Here are my results with the fog and the lights :))
Pip 1-6: Close-ups with the half slices of kiwi and lime

Quand on photographie ces choses-là, les idées fusent dès la première prise de vue : que faire d’autre avec ce sujet ? Après avoir photographié les tranches entières, j’ai eu l’idée de les couper en deux et de créer une composition différente. Voici le résultat avec le brouillard et les lumières :))
