How to design a teahouse, which can not only talk to family, but also feel isolated and quiet?

When it comes to tea rooms, people always think of Japanese tea rooms and new Chinese tea rooms, but when these tea rooms move into their own homes, it is often difficult to coordinate with the whole family.

So does the teahouse really have a specific style? How can a small apartment build a teahouse suitable for its own home?

As for style, as we have mentioned many times before, it is closely related to the material culture, spiritual culture and human landscape of a region. On the basis of tea culture, the specific style of tea room is also distinct.

However, under the guidance of some online media and pictures, it seems that in a dark central hall, dim lights and heavy solid wood furniture are called Chinese teahouse, and tatami and futon are called Japanese teahouse.

Obviously, these are far from the real Chinese and Japanese styles. Chinese style is not obscure, and Japanese style is not simply using tatami platform.

What exactly is Chinese Japanese style?

As we all know, tea culture originated in China, and it first prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and was mainly favored by poets, monks and literati. Therefore, the tea ceremony in China cannot be separated from the inner edification of Buddhism, Taoism and culture.

Interestingly, on the other hand, China's tea culture is actually very close to the people, and everyone loves tea, whether it is a literati or a pimp.

Scholars pay attention to tea art, tea set, tea, heat and so on, and are willing to take the time to taste the taste of tea. This is a way. For ordinary people, drinking tea is to clear away heat and quench thirst, but only after drinking the fragrance of lips and teeth can you feel the charm of tea itself.

Therefore, although China people also attach importance to the aesthetics of tea, what they ultimately pursue is the taste of tea itself.

For the creation of tea rooms, the ancients were more casual and natural, not deliberately pursuing bedrooms, but paying more attention to the harmony between artistic conception and natural environment.

If you want to know about China Tea Room, you might as well seek inspiration from ancient paintings.

Most ancient people like to set up teahouses by the Liusong Spring, one for each person, one stove and one teapot, and they can get together alone or in groups of three or five.

Or in the temple Lushe, facing the bamboo forest banana outside the window, and then drinking tea and listening to the rain.

Visible, China teahouse is not so much a teahouse, as a seat. When drinking tea, it is the aesthetic pursuit of the ancients to emphasize that the tea mat is higher than the living room, or even give up the living room completely.

In recent years, the new Chinese style has also been a hot spot in the home furnishing industry.

Perhaps many people are vague about the concept of new Chinese style and don't understand where it is new.

The so-called new Chinese style actually includes two parts. First, transform the traditional style of China so that it can be applied to modern society; The other is the contemporary design based on the full understanding of China's contemporary culture.

Often the former is relatively calm, and the level of designers is mixed. Good works are mostly seen in luxury houses, which are still innovating and have unlimited potential in the future.

Japanese tearoom

Tea culture was spread to Japan by China monks in Song Dynasty, so Japanese tea ceremony culture is closely related to religion, paying attention to Zen and pursuing blank and silence. So many people like Japanese tea ceremony, and it is this kind of Zen that they insist on.

Different from the traditional tea drinking in China, Japan attaches great importance to the use of forms to emphasize and maintain the etiquette and order of tea drinking.

The entrance to a Japanese teahouse is much shorter than the normal one, and people are required to kneel in. This unconventional door design symbolizes the harmony between Japanese teahouses and the world, and also shows the humility of tea drinkers and respect for their owners. On the other hand, the influence of small doors on indoor light is also minimized.
