About Chow, Yu |
|
Founder of the Wistaria Tea House. In 1981, Chow Yu opened Wistaria Tea House which deeply influenced the renaissance of tea culture in Taiwan. The tea house in its early days became a meeting place for social activists and critical scholars holding many symposiums and public discussions. For the past 30 years, the Wistaria Tea House has provided a space to support many well-educated youngsters and culturati to flourish their talent. Chow Yu successfully developed a new "way of tea" by creatively transforming Daoist aesthetics and the idea of self-cultivation traditionally cherished by Chinese literati within the sphere of consumer culture. This mixture gave Wistaria Tea House its unique atmosphere and cultural significance. |
