ABSTRACT

The tea was first introduced to people of Korea from the time of Kochoson(early ancient times) as part of their life to these days. From the era of the Three Kingdoms(Koguryo, Backjae, and Shila), Koryo, and Chosun, the tea was first used as an offering to god in a ceremony. However, it has been further expanded not only to the national ceremonies, but also to the ordinary people ot Korea in their daily home life. Furthermore, the tea has brought out many other important aspects in our lives. For example, it has lead to the development of ceramic wares used for drinking tea; introduced various kinds of food that can be eaten with tea; provided ideas for building constructions which was to be built for enjoying tea in a pleasant surroundings; and also lead to development of clothing that were proper attire for tea ceremonies Many classical scholars enjoyed writing poetries in Chinese. Among their poetries, there were many poetries that were especially related to tea. The importance of tea was apparent in their writings. Not only their thoughts and period of their lives were apparent, but the tea custom and psychological aspect of the tea were also apparent un their poetry. Among the confucianists, many classical scholars, as they enjoyed the tea, experienced and sought the important aspects of the tea and self-discipline. These aspects of tea not only represent custom or tea and its psychological aspects but also ruled its period of different thoughts and philosophy, artistic, and religions. We tend to observe our social and cultural aspects of our ancient times by studying the development of tea poetry. As our classical scholars have done in the past, by sharing a tea time together in the natural environment, the have gained an intimate friendship among themselves. Moreover, due to the fact that the tea served a great deal in human health, it has become an important part of our daily lives. Above all, through the cultural education literature of tea poetry, we hope to portray more accurate view of our cultural aspect or tea.
