During the Tang and Song dynasties,Zen Buddhism was composed of the"Five Schools and Seven Sects".The tea Zen culture in Jiangxi was represented by the Huairang school of Zen Buddhism in Nanyue.Since the opening of the Zen tea ceremony at Baizhang Huaihai,the founder of Huangbo tea had been renowned for Huangbo Zen tea.It was not until the Song Dynasty that Yuanwu Keqin pioneered the tea ceremony culture in Japan.Yangqi Fanghui was the founder of the Yangqi School of the Linji Sect in the Song Dynasty.His tea Zen inherited the fortunes of Baizhang Huaihai and Huangbo Xiyun,and integrated the teachings of Tiantong Xianqi.His teachings had been passed down to Yuanwu Keqin for three generations,and eventually spread to Japan,making great contributions to the dissemination and development of Chinese Zen tea culture.This also reflects one aspect of the development of ancient Chinese tea Zen culture.Yangqi Fanghui combined tea culture with Zen culture,using tea as an opportunity to practice Zen and exploring the harmony of tea drinking.This not only reflects the Zen philosophy of"compassion for the benefit of others and the elevation of the school of thought",but also reflects the transformation of Zen style brought about by the integration of tea into Zen and the tasting of Zen in tea since the Song Dynasty.
