Gangjin was the modernization base of the Korean tea industry. Modernization refers to the development from a feudal society to a capitalist society and the entry from an agricultural society into an industrial society. Applying this to the tea industry, the key is whether the form of production for public payment to the state has changed to the form of production and consumption for individuals. This trace of modernization can be found in the tea culture of Gangjin in the late Joseon Dynasty. At the center of it is Dasan Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1836). It is not an exaggeration to say that the perception of Gangjin tea culture is divided into before and after Dasan. Dasan attempted to cover the profits gained through the tea industry to the national defense by increasing the production of tea through joint production of tea and expanding consumption through foreign trade, based on the prototype of the Gangjin tea culture. Dasan's tea-making method created a step in which tea leaves dried by steaming them with an old jeonggupo were made into powder by newly transforming the method of making rice cake tea in Yukwoo's “Dagyeong”. When Dasan came to Gangjin in the late Joseon Dynasty, Gangjin's tea culture stood at the center of Joseon's tea culture. The study of Gangjin tea culture, which has been conducted so far, focused on revealing the tea education, production, and tea culture exchanges practiced by Dasan to the members of “Dasingye” and monks, and tried to reveal its impact. Amid the recognition that culture develops when internal competencies and external drivers act in the forward direction, looking at the history of tea culture in the late Joseon Dynasty, all records point to Dasan, an external driver. Dasan was able to develop a new breath of tea culture in Gangjin because it was supported by the accumulated capabilities inherent in Gangjin. Among them, the tea culture of Baekryeon Tea and Yoo Hee-sammae in the Buddhist culture of the Goryeo Dynasty, and Munhaengchungshin (文行忠信) with Dasan's disciples in the late Joseon Dynasty can be said to be the flower of our tea culture.
