Also a person who brightened the time by writing a book called 'Dabu(茶賦)', the writing which praised tea. Tragically ending his life at the age of 28 he failed to spread his accumulated administration and aspiration right. To examine his thought tendency through the 'Dabu(茶賦)' of Hanjae, he mastered the philosophy of Lao-tze and Chung-tze by accepting and taking it positively on the basis of Confucianism. This is the conspicuous feature over the whole of thought system of Dabu(茶賦). So, the will may be confirmed from the writing motive that he, himself who was a Confucian tried to write Dabu(茶賦) with a sense of responsibility of the thought to respect sage. But, he understood the cause and effect of tea from the viewpoint of Confucianism throughly, while he recognized the viewpoint and feature of the philosophy of the Lao-tze and Chung-tze completely. Tea enabled Hanjae who was regarding the practical reason to cultivate oneself and govern people as basic spirit to notice the character of tea as the connection with seeking after truth and a part of training method to seek high spiritual state.
