The Chinese word "tea ceremony" refers to the operation method of making tea based on the specific available documents. This is roughly the way to make tea. The Chinese word "tea art" is a vocabulary developed by modern Taiwanese. When the name was first proposed, it was intended to be called tea ceremony. However, since the word tea ceremony already existed in Japanese culture, it was finally named tea art. At that time, they wanted to learn from Japan and add many ritualistic contents based on the Kung Fu tea brewing method. In the end, it turned into a series of operations similar to waiters' performances, and the so-called tea art performance appeared... Of course, that is, the operation method. However, in fact, the "Tao" in the Japanese "Tea Ceremony" is also the meaning of the Chinese "Art". Therefore, these words have the same meaning in ancient and modern China and Japan. It’s just that the modern Chinese way of making tea is called “tea art” in modern terminology. Many Chinese sources use the word "tea ceremony" to describe the ancient way of making tea, such as "Tang Dynasty Sencha Way", "Song Dynasty Matcha Way", and "Ming Dynasty Tea Way". (Of course, the Tang Dynasty Sencha Ceremony and the Japanese Sencha Ceremony are not the same thing at all.) However, the meaning is still the same, and the Chinese tea ceremony system at that time was much more complex than the later tea art and Japanese tea ceremony. I have not yet verified whether the above three terms were created by modern people. Perhaps it is because the terms "Matcha Way" and "Sencha Way" are still retained in Japanese culture. But also because China's cultural influence on Japan reached an outrageous level during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the word "tea ceremony" appeared six to seven hundred years earlier than Japan, so it is quite possible that this Japanese term comes from Chinese. big. In modern times, some Chinese people understand the word "Tao" in "Tea Ceremony" as the philosophical cultivation derived from drinking tea. Some people think that Chinese talents will not tout their skills to the level of "Tao" like the Japanese. These are also the two biggest tangled points in modern Chinese people's understanding of "tea ceremony" and "tea art". But in fact, there is nothing wrong with understanding it. After all, the past meaning of "tea ceremony" has been replaced by "tea art" in modern Chinese.
