The concept of "reconciliation" in Chinese traditional tea culture plays an important role in psychology, such as promoting mental health, enhancing interpersonal harmony, enhancing self-cognition and adjustment ability, and balancing emotions and thinking. This value of harmony and harmonious coexistence is helpful in promoting the stable development of society, maintaining harmonious relationships between people, and providing important spiritual support for individual development. The purpose of this paper is to deeply discuss the application of the concept of "reconciliation" in Chinese tea culture in psychology. Through literature review, empirical research, and in-depth interviews, this paper reveals how the concept of "reconciliation" in tea culture affects individual mental health, interpersonal relationships, and psychotherapy. The results show that the concept of reconciliation promotes mental health, enhances interpersonal harmony, improves self-cognition and adjustment ability, and balances emotions and thinking in psychology.
