AB - Among about 2,200 poems of Maewoldang Kim, Si-seup(1435~1493), 73 poems, the number of his works which was written based on tea, is bequeathed to us now. This fact is significant especially when we consider that he left the most tea-poems since the first introduction of tea in Korea. He didn't just drink tea and write tea-poems based on the feeling he had when he had tea. He grew tea plants and made tea, and he tried to make his own life fit into the nature of tea. This indicates that tea had relatively great importance in his life.
To study his poems means that he thought of tea not just as a drink but as a way of Buddhist meditation. Maewoldang didn't leave any systematic documents. He just wanted to realize his Confucian ideals and the sages' instructions. Also he wrote tea-poems to learn the teachings of Buddha. Though he lost sight of the ideal because he was in discord with the actual life, his literature came to further maturity by making the nature of tea reflected into his tea-poems.
In other words, he didn't take a conciliatory attitude toward the actual life, but tried to express his positive attitude to do his best in everything through tea-poems.
