How much do you know about Japanese culture?

The original state of Japanese tea ceremony culture is "Tang Dance Songpin" transplanted from China, blindly taking Jiashan Temple, the birthplace of tea Zen, as the source of Japanese tea ceremony. The origin and development of Japanese tea ceremony can be divided into three historical stages: the first stage, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China tea culture became a "Confucian classic" and a "Tao". Many Japanese monks came abroad to study, brought China's Buddha and tea back to Japan, and began to exhibit Japanese tea culture "the first branch in the East". In the second stage, in the Song Dynasty, the tea culture in China Zen became more and more mature and prosperous. At this time, there was an endless stream of Japanese monks who "learned from the scriptures". Rong, a famous monk, entered the Song Dynasty twice, lived in China for 24 years, brought back the Zen-intensive China Tea Ceremony, brought back the Blue Rock Record written by the Zen master and "tea-obsessed Zen" to Japan, and personally wrote "Drinking Tea for Health", thus becoming the ancestor of Japanese Buddhism Lin Ji School. In the third stage, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, under the stimulation and guidance of China's Zen Buddhism and the concept of "Zen tea blindly", a kind of tea ceremony-Cao ancha, which appeared in a brand-new spirit and form, opened a brilliant page in the history of Japanese tea culture, and was pioneered by Zhuguang Murata, the originator of Japanese tea ceremony. Zhu Guang once participated in meditation with Master Yixiu, and after hard training, he finally became a disciple of Master Yixiu, from whom he got Mo Bao from Yuan Wu Keqin. Zhuguang applied it to the tea ceremony, which opened up a new realm of the combination of tea and Zen in Japanese tea ceremony. This is the origin of the allusion of "Mohan Mountain". Yuan Wu Keqin's ink became the initial symbol of the combination of Zen and tea, and also the highest treasure in Japanese tea ceremony. When people entered the teahouse, they all knelt in front of the ink to show their respect for Wu Yuan. Therefore, Zhuguang was established as the pioneer of Japanese tea ceremony. Japanese tea ceremony has also sublimated from a simple art of life to a "beautiful religion" of tea Zen blindly. Speaking of Japanese sumo, probably many people in China will have such doubts: What is there to see when two fat people fight with their huge asses? However, this giant fighting game enjoys the supreme status of "national technology" in Japan-the government specially invests in the construction of the National Technology Museum, and every game is broadcast live by NHK, the national television station of Japan, and the venues with expensive tickets are packed; When Joe moves to a new place, the Japanese will be proud to receive the name card of the sumo wrestler, and believe that the sumo wrestler will be healthy and lucky with the baby in his arms. Sumo wrestlers, with a majestic appearance like King Kong, are the an ideal husband of countless petite and feminine Fusang women. Being so sought after, naturally there will be more.

That's tough enough

"Lux's roar was deafening, and the heavy breath in his nostrils echoed in the air like the squeak he made when he stepped on the gravel." Japanese writer Mao Danqing said that sumo looks exciting. The two sides smacked their feet thicker than the soles of leather shoes and looked at each other arrogantly, just like tigers waiting to hunt prey. When the rabbit began to fall, two "giant mountains" collided instantly and the ground shook. Watching sumo is the ferocity of the player "lying rabbit" becoming "tiger".

The fierceness of sumo also lies in its competition rules. Sumo is the only competition in the world without heavyweight restrictions. Short players can't escape the challenge of their opponents who weigh several times. The first person to land out of bounds is a loser. Boxing has no ten-second countdown. Unlike most sports, even if a player loses temporarily, there is still a chance to reverse it. Sumo is usually a disgrace. Such cruelty is not only reflected in the players, but also in the referees. It is said that the former referee has a knife, and the referee will apologize if he makes a mistake. Now the knife is replaced by a fan. Although it is no longer necessary to end the physical life, it is necessary to resign and end the professional life. And the cruelest thing is that sumo wrestlers, a career on the road of self-abuse, is harsh on himself. Sumo * * * score 10. If you want to ascend the throne of Yokozuna, you must have thousands of bones as the price.

Beautiful enough

Commemoration of Qupai before the start of the competition, bow dance at the end of the competition, Lux with hair tied in a bun, company of gorgeous robes, black, green, red and white earth tables, this grand and quaint ceremony has been passed down for 1500 years. Apart from the ferocity of fighting, for the Japanese, sumo is more beautiful because of its cultural background. Walking into the stadium, the Japanese seem to be able to trace back to the ancestor worship in the Yayoi period, which lasts forever, with good weather and abundant crops. It seems that you can feel the supreme glory of sumo wrestlers at the palace feast in peacetime; For Japanese young people who like sumo, the beauty of sumo lies in the delicious snacks left by watching the war with their parents when they were young. The whole family sat in front of the TV to cheer for their favorite athletes ... sumo, with memories of Japan since ancient times, is full of ancient meaning; With the pride of Japanese national technology, the blood is fresh; As the Japanese pursue the ideal of sumo, it will last forever. How can such a sumo not look good?

However, to the dismay of the Japanese, in recent years, the big names in sumo world are not Japanese, and sumo wrestlers with different skin from foreign countries have achieved very good results. Among the efforts of foreign players, of course, there are also China players.
