it was as serious as the Japanese ceremony. In fact, the Japanese Matcha ceremony originated in Chinese Chan (Zen) Buddhist monasteries during the Song dynasty. That particular ceremony has since been forgotten in China but Japan preserved it and refined it. But China has had many different styles of tea ceremonies, every dynasty, every region, has its unique school and there were many ceremonies. This is just one reenactment of the general process common to most of them.
Also, in this video, they are technically wearing the wrong clothing for this kind of procession. What they are wearing is not Chinese clothing, it is Manchurian and only existed in recent times during the Qing dynasty (the last imperial dynasty) of Manchurian-controlled China. Historically, in order to be strictly "Chinese" they would wear the Hanfu, traditional Chinese clothing, similar to the Hanbok and Kimono (which the Hanfu gave rise to)
this is also technically only what you'd see in recent times. In the Han and Tang dynasties, the Chinese used bowls to hold the tea leaves, the heating water, a bowl separate for the mixing of leaves and water, and finally, another bowl for drinking. They did not use a kettle to pour the tea into the bowl, but used a tea scoop to scoop water around like the japese Chashaku. (hinese: chasheuk/chashue)
I know this is a nice ceremony and performance but if you travel to china beware of tea ceremony scams, I got charged $100 on my credit card in Shanghai.
One thing is you guys know nothing about Chinese History that's why you can't enjoy this stuff!Don't be stupid, lean more and come to comment again~!

Not as complex as the Japanese ceremony were even the mixing bowls vary depending on the season.

Maybe, but original. There would be no Japanese tea ceremony without Chinese tea ceremony.
