People who are good at tea often have the ultimate pursuit of tea drinking. In the Ming Dynasty's "Xu Wenchang's Secret Collection", the ideal environment for drinking tea is described: "Jingshe, cloud forest, bamboo stove, secluded people, and sitting in the cold night. The literati's penchant for tea is not only in the tea itself, but also in the pursuit of a pure, far-reaching, and ethereal artistic conception.

Tea ceremony refers to a tea ceremony art combination with an independent theme that takes tea as the soul and tea utensils as the main body, and combines with other art forms in a specific tea room space form. The tea ceremony is developed on the basis of the continuous improvement of various generations after Lu Yu first founded the "tea set combination" for thousands of years.

The arrangement of the tea ceremony can not be separated from the tradition, but also must conform to the laws of modern people's behavior. The "Tea Ceremony" is not only a platform for tea artists to give full play to their rich imagination, but also a space to express their attitude towards life and mental state. Since then, the tea affair has taken on more ceremonial and aesthetic significance.
The tea ceremony is not deliberately "placed", but carefully "clothed". Just as the ancients called the composition of traditional Chinese painting "array arrangement", including the placement of tea utensils and the selection of flowers, they should reflect the poetry and painting of the tea ceremony, which can only be pleasing to the eye.
