3、詩(shī)意王國(guó)。而日本則在十五世紀(jì)將其尊崇為一種美的宗教——茶道。茶道，是在日常染污之間，因由對(duì)美的傾慕而建立起來(lái)的心靈儀式。茶道教人純凈和諧，理解互愛(ài)的奧義，并從社會(huì)秩序中開(kāi)發(fā)出浪漫情懷。它是一種溫柔的嘗試，試圖在我們所知的生命無(wú)窮盡的不可能中，來(lái)成就那些微小的可能，因而本質(zhì)上是對(duì)不完美的崇拜?！hePhilosophyofTeaisnotmereaestheticismintheordinaryacceptanceoftheterm,foritexpressesconjointlywithethicsandreligionourwholepointofviewabout
