한중 문화교류를 통한 백제 차문화 고찰

As the most of historical remains or records for BakJae dynasty periods have not been descended, there are no records existing for Tea culture. However, a report has it that there is remains recording the tea was served for the religious event for Buddha as well as for the event of the ancestral shrine of the royal family in the period of Shinla being in the same periods of BakJae dynasty. With this record, assumingly, there was a tradition enjoying the tea in the BakJae dynasty periods. It can be inferred that the tea-serving at traditional rites was performed in BakJae periods when considered the fact that the most of Jolla provinces regarded as good place to cultivate tea was a part of BaekJae and there is a book written by a BakJae Buddhist monk, Hangki, introducing the cultivation of tea at Dong Dae Temple in Japan. Especially, when considered that a tea called ‘Baksan Cha’ was served for ritual rites from Ancient Chosun (Ko Cho Sun), it can be expected that the same tradition was existed during the BakJae dynasty in which people was replying on the Almighty. The culture enjoying tea in BakJae periods can be found in that of Chinese royal families being in the same periods of BakJae dynasty. It is recorded that BakJae had vivid transaction with Chinese Governments, Namjo, Su, Jin, Dang, which presumably made it possible for the governmental officials and religious leaders to transfer the tea culture to BakJae dynasty.
