Gongfu tea is a unique tea-drinking custom in Chaoshan. And it is honored as the "Chinese Tea Ceremony". "The tea person respects himself, has a pure heart, does not arrogantly discuss others, does not destroy the tea utensils, behaves lightly, and learns literature in the rest of the time." This fully reflects that the tea ceremony is not only a life art, but also a life etiquette and a lifestyle.

Mr. Xu said: "Tea ceremony is based on tea enlightenment and people-oriented." Tea ceremony is similar to humanity. Humanity have three aspects, that is, the combination of physiology, psychology and consciousness. As for tea ceremony, there is also the concept of three things. Therefore, the tea ceremony is closely related to humanity.
