李奎報의 詩文에 나타난 차와 술에 관한 연구

A Study on Tea & Drinks posed in Lee Gyu Bo's Poetry

Lee Gyu Bo lived in the period of Korea where Buddhism was in its golden days and tea culture was generalized. Lee Guy Bo, also called ‘Mr. Sam Hok Ho’, is a writer in mid-Korea era who enjoyed poetry, geomungo, and drinking. He was the first to advocate ‘Daseonilmi’ and a renowned master of drinks. He drank tea-then-wine and wine-then-tea; he successfully managed to balance both tea and wine. Tea and wine were inseparably related to Lee Gyu Bo's whole life. This proved that he put ‘Dajudongwiron (tea-wine, the same rank theory)’ into practice by perceiving tea and wine were mutually complementary. Through tea and wine, Lee Guy Bo grew eyes for leadership and open-minded values that contributed to advance the country and community. This was only possible because he communicated not only in human-to-human level, but also in nature-to-human and individual-to-community levels. Dajudongwiron in Seolchong’s ‘Hwawanggye' that was continuously studied untill Lee Gyu Bo’s life is still applicable to contemporary life. ‘Dajudongwiron’ insists an artistic life for human beings by loving each other and growing affinity with the nature, thus one can achieve liberty and harmony. Tea and wine are the best intermediary to allow human to communicate with oneself, others and nature; this will lead to another level of communication in this digital era we are living in. Our drive is in a niche between material to culture. Re-interpretating ‘Dajudongwiron’ from contemporary perspective will allow modern people to solve the challenge of developing healthy tea-wine culture and building culturally affluent society. In order to do so, more research and development of a variety of cultural contents need to be fulfilled in depth.
