Hanging paintings in teahouses, also known as hanging scrolls, has been said in China since ancient times to "sit and lie in the high hall, and make the best of the spring and gully". The style, technique and content of hanging calligraphy and paintings in teahouses is a way to show the host's mind and accomplishment. The beauty of the teahouse lies in its simplicity and elegance. The calligraphy and painting should be few rather than many, and should be highlighted. If the teahouse is not very big, a carefully selected theme painting is enough.

茶室所挂的字画可分为两大类：一类是相对稳定、长久张挂的，这类书画的内容主要根据茶室的名称、风格及主人的兴趣爱好而定。比如有什么比较喜欢的字帖或者书法画家，这些都可以。另一类是为了突出茶席主题而专门张挂的，可以根据茶席主题的需要而不断变换。这一类，在日本茶道当中较为常见。

The calligraphy and painting hanging in the teahouse can be divided into two categories: one is relatively stable, long-term hanging, the content of this kind of calligraphy and painting is mainly based on the name of the teahouse, style and the owner's interests and hobbies. For example, if you have any favorite calligraphy or calligrapher, these are OK. The other is specially designed to highlight the theme of tea seats, which can be changed according to the needs of the theme of tea seats. This kind of tea ceremony is more common in Japan.

主题书画的位置一般选在一进门时目光的一个落点或主墙面，也可选在泡茶台的前上方，主宾坐席的正上方等明显之处。挂画时应注意采光，特别是绘画作品，在绘画时光源常来自左上方，在向阳的居室绘画作品宜张挂在与窗户成直角的墙壁上，通常能得到不错的观赏效果。如果自然采光的效果不理想，应配置灯具补光。

The location of the theme painting and calligraphy is generally selected in a drop point or the main wall of the eye when entering the door, or in the front of the tea table, the top of the guest seat and other obvious places. When hanging paintings, we should pay attention to the lighting, especially the painting works. In the painting, the time source often comes from the upper left. In the sunny room, the painting works should be hung on the wall at right angles to the window, usually can get a good viewing effect. If the effect of natural lighting is not ideal, lamps should be equipped to fill the light.

茶室张挂字画是供人欣赏的，为了便于欣赏，画面中 心以离地2米为宜。字体小或工笔画可适当低一些。若是画框，与背后墙面成15—30度角为宜。字画的色彩要与室内的装修和陈设相协调，画面的内容也要尽可能精炼简素。主题字画与陪衬点缀的字画，无论是内容还是装裱形式都要求能相得益彰。

The calligraphy and painting in the teahouse are for people to enjoy. In order to enjoy, the center of the picture should be 2 meters above the ground. Small font or fine brushwork can be appropriately lower. If it's a picture frame, make a 15-30 degree angle with the back wall. The color of calligraphy and painting should be coordinated with the interior decoration and furnishings, and the content of the picture should be as concise as possible. The theme of calligraphy and painting and foil embellishment of calligraphy and painting, whether it is the content or mounting form are required to complement each other.
