[edit] Chinese Tea Houses

The Chinese also have teahouses, though written 茶馆 rather than 茶室. Does anyone have an opinion on whether it should be included in the same article or as a different article, in which case the current article should probably be renamed "Japanese tea house" and the new article be called "Chinese tea house." From what I can tell, they are quite different animals, as 茶馆 are social places, traditionally for chatting, gambling, eating, as well as drinking tea. They are still common places for friends and couples to meet, though more common in some parts of China than others. Anyway, ideas? Easytoremember 07:15, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Tea House → Japanese tea house : I am proposing this move for User:Easytoremember since he was having difficulty doing so. I have asked that he add his reasons here as soon as possible. --Hetar 09:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Survey and discussion

Add * Support or * Oppose followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, or add * followed by a comment, then sign your opinion with "~~~~"

• Support The article is virtually only about Japanese tea houses. They exist elsewhere and are different depending on the location/culture. --Easytoremember 10:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support per nom. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 00:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Support per nom. This will allow for the creation for a separate article or articles dealing with tea houses generally or in other cultural contexts. Fishhead64 21:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. —Nightstallion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 09:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Bah. Apparently, this has been done in a sort-of cut and paste manner. Please never do that again, as it destroys the concurrent edit history. —Nightstallion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 09:34, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we can get an admin to fix this for us. I agree that it should have been moved rather than cut and pasted. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 17:34, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've marked the new page as needing a history merge. Should be taken care of soon. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 17:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I think the merge is done. Please let me know of any problems. Turnstep 19:53, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! (^_^) --日本穣 Nihonjoe 20:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] alternative name

Isn't a Japanese tea house also known as an ochaya? I would put it in the article but I don't know the specifics. ssepp^(talk) 18:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Self-reply: It seems there is a complication in that a tea house can not only refer to a place where a tea ceremony is held (chashitsu) but also to a place of exclusive entertainment (ochaya). I am making some adjustments. ssepp^(talk) 09:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
