Dialectics Between Taste and Mind:Evolution of Tea Ceremony Philosophy Under the Influence of the Philosophy of Mind in the Mid to Late Ming Dynasty
In the mid to late Ming Dynasty,the Yangming School of Mind emerged and had an important influence in the field of tea ceremony philosophy.From the enhancement of taste experience to the awakening of psychological perception,the scholars of the mid and late Ming Dynasty not only pursued change in their tea drinking life,but also attempted innovation in the field of thought,with the perception of tea ceremony through psychological perception being one of their major characteristics.With the blessing of psychological perception,the taste experience of tea became more refined and abstract,which in turn drove the deepening of taste thinking,gradually unifying taste and psychological thinking,and laying a certain foundation for the dis-semination and evolution of Yangming School of Mind in the mid to late Ming Dynasty on the basis of"tasting Zen in tea".
