Talk:East Asian tea ceremony

message: I'm very curious as to why "Japanese tea ceremony" redirects to "Tea ceremony" as if there is only one tea ceremony?  In China alone I have experienced five major different sorts of tea ceremony with many variations on each one.  I suggest that this topic be moved back to "Japanese Tea Ceremony" with this page used as a disambiguating page for other tea ceremonies.  (And yes, I will contribute what I know of some of the other tea ceremonies as I get the full information.  I happen to like them.)
Another question is why is this article so empty?  Is there no PD description of the ceremony proper available that could be brought in to flesh it out?  (Treat these as questions, please, not attacks.  I know very little of the Japanese ceremony and there may be a good reason why it is not described.) --Michael 00:47 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:Hitting the web, I've found a lot of information on tea ceremonies in general.  If there's no objection from anybody here in 24 hours, I'm just going to go and do the reorganisation I mentioned and add, at the same time, an article describing the various Chinese tea ceremonies I know well enough to describe. --Michael 01:04 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
::There were no objections, so the reorganisation has been done, complete with an article detailing the Fujian tea ceremony.  --Michael 09:05 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:::Anyone know of some non-Asian tea ceremonies?
Yes, Britain and Ireland have a strong Tea culture, with both topping the European tables for annual tea consumption. Somebody should write a similar article! JDnCoke 22:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Capitalization of title 

message: As an article this is simply a questionable mishmash of information.  Probably we can all agree that a tea ceremony may be a ritualised form of making tea, but to take a description from Japanese tea ceremony and apply it to all tea making is inappropriate and misleading.  So is calling Victorian high tea a "tea ceremony."  "Tea culture" is a different thing again.  This should really be a simple redirect page.  Exploding Boy (talk) 16:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: The article

message: I reverted the yi back to dao.  The dao/do section is dao not yi(arts), chayi is an easy to translate term "tea arts".  Here we are talking about the term dao with respect to chadao.

thread_title: Terminology of dao/do with respect to tea

message: There is no such thing as American tea ceremony. Drinking the tea doesn't mean that it is a tea ceremony. The  tea ceremony, also called the Way of Tea, is a cultural activity involving the ceremonial preparation and presentation of tea. The manner in which it is performed, or the art of its performance, is called Tea ceremony. Zen Buddhism was a primary influence in the development of the tea ceremony. Much different from just drinking a cup of tea. Remove this from the article.Hafspajen (talk) 11:00, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Removing the gallery and pictures on thumb sizes. Galleries are not discuraged. Please see also this discussion here, Talk:Charles Marion Russell. 
::Per WP:IG:
Images are typically interspersed individually throughout an article near the relevant text (see WP:MOSIMAGES). However, the use of a gallery section may be appropriate in some Wikipedia articles if a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images. The images in the gallery collectively must have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject.
::*This article typically needs illustrations since the Japanese culture and tea ceremony settings are so different from the Western culture that it would be very difficult to describe in words.  
*Image use policy say: Sometimes a picture may benefit from a size other than the default; see the Manual of Style for guidance. 
*Manual of style: **As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed size than the 220px default (users can adjust this in their preferences). 'If an exception to the general rule is warranted', forcing an image size to be either larger or smaller than the 220px default is done by placing a parameter in the image coding. 
*The exception from  the general rule is most art and art related articles that they do fall into this cathegory, and they are this  exception to the general rule . 
*See here art and art related articles, and architecture articles. These articles do use images  larger than thumb. Michelangelo, Ancient Greek architecture, Anglo-Saxon art, La maja desnuda,  Stained glass, Sandro Botticelli, Yixian glazed pottery luohans, Wells Cathedral, Romanticism, History painting, Romanesque architecture, Ambrosius Benson, Portrait of Francesco d'Este, Andrea Mantegna, Crucifix (Cimabue, Santa Croce), Danaë (Titian series), Cambrai Madonna, The Werl Triptych, Portrait of a Young Girl (Christus, Berlin),  Léal Souvenir, Braque Triptych, Death of the Virgin (van der Goes), Miraflores Altarpiece, Madonna of the Dry Tree
*See here also featured articles - art and art related articles, and architecture articles do use images  larger than thumb; as exception to the general rule : Early Netherlandish painting, Holy Thorn Reliquary, The Magdalen Reading, Royal Gold Cup, Madonna in the Church,  Stanford Memorial Church,  Portrait Diptych of Dürer's Parents,   The Entombment (Bouts),  Crucifixion and Last Judgement diptych, Las Meninas, Dresden Triptych, The Garden of Earthly Delights, The Magdalen Reading Funerary art
