论日本茶道的现代性

On Modernity of Japanese Teaism

日本茶道古代称为“茶之汤”,千利休时称为“侘茶”,明治维新后出现了“茶道”这一全新的提法。在内容上,日本茶道不只是传统“茶之汤”或“侘茶”的延续,还吸收了西方引入的现代思想,包括个人意识、主体觉醒、文明教养等。1980年代以来,茶道又成为了当代日本的国家名片和文化软实力,开始向海外大力传播。总之,日本茶道是“发明”的传统,是适应现代性的产物。

In the past times,Japanese teaism was called“Cha no yu”,Serikyu called it as“Wabicha”,“teaism”was coming to being after Meiji Reformation.From the viewpoint of its content,teaism has not only inherited from the traditional“Cha no yu”or“Wabicha”,but also absorbed modern thoughts from western countries,including individual consciousness,awakening subjectivity,cultivated manners and so on.Teaism has been being a national card of modern Japan and its soft power,and more,spread overseas since 1980.In a word,Japanese teaism is an invented tradition which is one of result of Japanese modernity.
