茶的利用是中国先民的伟大发明,茶由中国流传到日本后,经过几百年的发展演变,衍生出了独具日本民族特色和风格的综合性文化艺术活动———"茶道",并闻名于世。文章试从中日茶文化的发展路径与差异对比的角度,探讨作为茶的故乡,且有着丰富文化体系的中国,是否存在日本式的外在化、礼制化的"茶道"。

This paper conducts a contrastive study of tea cultural development in both China and Japan,and explores whether there is a cere-monial and institutional tea drinking ceremony in China.
