Beiye Tea Party
As long as you love the tea ceremony, whether warriors, businessmen, farmers or ordinary people, you can take a tea kettle (a tea set, a kettle for boiling water), a water bottle, or a drink to participate. If there is no tea, it is OK to replace it with rice flour paste. Don't worry about not having a tea room, just spread two or three tatami in the pine forest. Without tatami, you can also use ordinary straw mats, and you can choose the position of the tea mat freely. In addition to Japanese, Chinese people who like tea ceremony can also attend. Anyone who comes to Xiuji's tea table can drink the tea ordered by Xiuji himself.
As soon as this notice was issued, the responders gathered. On the day of the tea party, the number of tea seats reached 800, one after another. Xiuji even showed off the golden teahouse that he once showed off in front of the emperor and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty - a teahouse built entirely of gold.
The Beiye Tea Party is an unprecedented grand ceremony of tea ceremony, which can be seen that the tea style was prosperous at that time, and there is no doubt that this grand event played a role in promoting the popularity of tea ceremony. Regardless of Xiuji's enthusiasm for tea ceremony, his great contribution to the development of Japanese tea ceremony cannot be obliterated.
