The long-beaked pot tea art performance is a more daring form of interpretation in the Chinese tea ceremony. During the performance, the tea artists will combine the tea mixing movements with traditional tea ceremony, martial arts, dance, Zen, Yi Li, etc., making it full of mysterious mysteries. The process of blending tea is exquisite, and the traditional art is integrated, which makes the tea guests pleasing to the eye.
Watching Liu Changwei's two long-mouthed pot tea art performance pictures above, I was impressed by his skillful skills and exquisite performances, and I was amazed. Although it cannot be said that he is the best, at least in the Sichuan tea art circle is a "business card", and everyone respects him as "Master Liu". Of course, this "business card" is not easy to come by, and its resume has been "annotated- more than thirty years of experience, persistence, hard work and precipitation."
Looking at the six frames of performance photos below him, it can be said that "raising his hand and throwing enough determination, one move and one style is always appropriate", which can be called a beautiful "aerial calligraphy", and the viewer's eyes are not shallow.
Xianglong rain
Good is like water
"Xianglong Xingyu" and "Shangshan Ruoshui", the moves are similar: the right hand holds the dragon pot, the left hand holds the cup, the right leg lunges and feet on the ground, the left leg supporting the upper body and the right leg stabilizes the ground, and the water in the pot is poured into the cup at 60 degrees; there is a difference in detail, the former has a long mouth and the neck is the fulcrum - "the dragon king has given rain", and the latter takes the forehead as the fulcrum - "Happy charity and good charity, indifferent to Ming Zhi humble as water", both moves have achieved the harmonious unity of power and beauty.
The following picture is "Hongyun Dangtou" (sincerely serving the Buddha Hongyun as the head, faithful to be a man walking in the clouds), the performer lunges steadily on the table, holds the dragon head in his right hand to place the pot on the top of his head, and holds the back end of the long mouth with his left hand, and the tea pours into the cup; on the left, the azure landscape, the sky, the boat, the distant sail, and the geese array, a quiet picture sets off a peaceful atmosphere, showing the artistic theme of "Hongyun Dangtou".
Luck is on the head
Alpine flowing water
In the picture above, "Alpine Flowing Water" (Alpine Boiling Wine Tao Hero, Flowing Water Brewing Tea Drunken Haojie), the performer holds the dragon head in his right hand and lifts his head, the front end of the spout is supported by the top of the head, and the left hand presses the front end of the spout, and the qi is calm, and the water in the pot is like alpine flowing water obediently pouring into the cup.
Dragons travel the world
The above picture "Dragon Walking the World" (Cha Bing Tiandi True Pure Qi, Character Qiankun Supreme Soul) and the following picture "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky" (Green Mountains and Green Water Junchang Companion, The Heavenly Elite Like Flying Immortals) are both difficult actions, the former holds the dragon head with both hands, the head, neck, torso and legs form a "bow" shape, the cheeks are facing the sky, the top of the head is to the ground, and the long spout is placed between the arms; the latter, the performer's right foot is "golden rooster independent", the left leg is lifted up to the torso, head, and neck balance, the two hands hold the dragon head, the long pot mouth passes through the arms, and the front of the spout is the fulcrum of the top of the head. Although the two postures before and after are opposite, the water in the pot is steadily poured into the cup, dripping water, so that the heart of the audience finally calmed down, sighed and praised, and shouted "Absolutely live!" ”
