Abstract: In Chinese,Japanese,and Korean,there is a word denoting“the tea cerenomy”.The words in the three languages differ not only in pronunciation,but also in connotation.Since ancient times,“tea as a sacrifice”,“tea for guests”,and“tea as a gift”are the three main forms of tea cerenomy in East Asia,which can be described as a common feature of East Asia tea culture.A detailed study reveals that,although there is a close relationship of inheritance,the three forms of tea ceremong in China,Japan and the Korean Peninsula differ greatly.Especially with“tea for guests”,there are fundamental differences.

Key words: East Asianthe, tea ceremony, form, evolution, diversity
