China is the birthplace of tea culture with a long history, having a profound influence on the tea culture in East Asia and even the world. The Japanese tea ceremony originated from China, and the tea utensils from China are collectively called "Karamono Utensils". In the Middle Ages of Japan, the Karamono Utensils were introduced to Japan together with teawhisking method of the Song Dynasty. This paper examines the influence of Karamono Utensils in the formation and development of tea drinking spatial structure, style classification, tea people’s appreciation ability and Japanese utensils, thus maintaining that Karamono Utensils played the following roles in promoting the innovation of tea drinking spatial structure, providing the basis for various classifications of the Japanese tea ceremony, cultivating the aesthetic ability of Japanese tea people, and providing specifications and models for Japanese tea utensils. The crucial role played by Karamono Utensils in the formation of the Japanese tea ceremony profoundly proves the fact that the Japanese tea ceremony is formed by learning from the Chinese tea ceremony, which is another example of the unique charm of Chinese tea culture.

Due to the lack of research on the embroidery types and needle techniques of the Gaoshan nationality of Taiwan, China, we used the two-dimensional verification method of literature and image analysis, Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to illustrate their stitching techniques and to summarize the basic application rules of Gaoshan embroidery stitch. The results show that the Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan is closely related to the Han nationality. Since the Qing Dynasty, after the Gaoshan nationality traded with the Han nationality in Chinese mainland, the embroidery utensils of the Gaoshan nationality have been gradually improved. According to the degree of communication with the Han nationality, the embroidery of the Gaoshan nationality is divided into primitive ecological embroidery and immigrated embroidery. The primitive ecological embroidery has a strong primitive and religious atmosphere. The immigrated embroidery has been developed from the integration of Han and Gaoshan ethnic characteristics.
