Lead: When it comes to drinking tea, we should talk about the etiquette of drinking tea. Even those who have just come into contact with the tea ceremony, some think that the tea ceremony is simple, and some think that the tea ceremony etiquette is difficult. In fact, there are some mistakes in this idea. When learning tea ceremony etiquette, you should teach yourself detailed movements. If you don't understand, ask the teacher and get a full understanding, so you start to accumulate experience. Finally, correct manners are like a part of your body, which you will never forget.
Everyone can't choose their own looks. Natural beauty is a blessing inherited by parents, but it is not necessarily artistic beauty. As the saying goes: smart face, stupid stomach, some people feel nervous and feel ugly because of their low level of coordination and understanding. Some people are plain-looking, but because of their high cultural accomplishment, decent manners, studious, moved by spirit, emotion and skill, they are very confident and energetic. Tea art pays more attention to temperament, and performers should properly decorate their own utensils. If you are really born beautiful, you can be neat and generous. Generally, women can wear light makeup to show their respect for their guests, with quiet and elegant as the keynote, and avoid heavy makeup, which is disproportionate. Beauty from the inner world is the highest realm.
attitude
Posture is what the body presents. Judging from China's traditional aesthetics, people pay more attention to the beauty of body rather than appearance. Classical poetry and literature describe a peerless beauty. Take care of the city first and then the country? That sentence, looking around, is very nice. Or a girl has the wind in the forest, which means that she is charming and does not have a trace of fireworks. The posture in tea performance is also more important than appearance, which needs to be practiced from several basic postures such as sitting, standing, kneeling and walking.
(1) sitting posture
When sitting on a chair or stool, be sure to sit in the middle, so that your body's center of gravity is in the middle, otherwise you will lose your manners by sitting on the edge and overturning the chair (stool); Legs, knees and ankles together, upper body straight, shoulders relaxed; The top of the head is slightly closed, the tongue is facing the chin, and the tip of the nose is facing the navel; Women put their hands between their legs and their left hands on their right hands. Men can put their hands on both sides of their left and right legs. Relax, keep your head calm and focused, and have a natural and beautiful posture. Never spread your legs apart or shake your legs all the time, rub your hands or put them on your chest, bend over, bow your head, etc. If you are a guest, you should also take the above sitting posture. If you let her sit on the sofa, because the sofa is low from the ground, it makes people uncomfortable to sit. The woman can sit up straight, with her legs together, leaning to one side (if she is tired after sitting for a while, she can switch to the other side), and her hands are still between two retreats; Men can put their hands on the armrest, and their legs can be crossed, but they can't shake, their feet droop, and they can't straddle one leg on the other.
In the international communication of tea ceremony performance, Japan and South Korea are used to sitting on the floor, and they also use such seats when holding tea parties without me. China people, especially southerners, are not used to it, so it is especially necessary to carry out targeted training to avoid mistakes and injuries.

2, sitting cross-legged: In addition to sitting upright, men can also sit cross-legged, with their legs bent inward, hands on their knees, and other postures can also sit.
3. Squat on one leg: the right knee bends at right angles to the foot that touches the ground, the right knee touches the ground, the toes touch the ground, and the rest of the postures sit together. When the guest sits on a short desk and chair, or kneels, or crosses his legs, the host asks Chaze to use this posture. Depending on the height of the desk and chair, the one-leg semi-squat type is adopted, that is, the left foot moves forward, the knee bends slightly, and the right knee bends on the left calf.
(3) Standing posture
When a single person is responsible for brewing various colors, because he has to leave the table for many times, let the guests see the tea samples, serve tea, serve food and so on. Suddenly it is inconvenient to sit and stand, or the table is too high to sit, you can use the performance of standing. In addition, no matter which posture you use, you have to stand before you transition to sitting or kneeling. So standing is as important as appearing on the stage.

Male feet are slightly apart, the body is straight, the upper jaw is miniature, eyes are straight, shoulders are relaxed, and hands are crossed (left hand is on right hand) on the lower abdomen.
(4) posture
In order to appear gentle, women can put their hands in the jaws, put their right hands on their left hands and put them on their chests to stand. When walking, move your legs and walk in a straight line, keep your upper body stable, relax your shoulders, shrink your head and chin, and keep your eyes straight. Men are ready to stand. When walking, their arms can swing freely on both sides of their bodies with the movement of their legs, and the rest are the same as those of women. Turn right and right foot first when turning, and vice versa. When the foot is wrong, you can take one more step in the same place and turn right after adjustment. If you are sideways in front of the guests, you need to turn around and face the guests, and perform various tea ceremony actions across the first two steps. When you want to turn around, you should take two steps back and then lean sideways to show respect for the guests.
