The spirit of tea ceremony in Korea
Lead: The history of tea drinking in Korea also has a history of thousands of years. In the 7th century, tea drinking had spread all over the country and was popular among the general public, so Korean tea culture became a part of Korean traditional culture. In history, Korean tea culture once flourished and has a long history.

The spirit of tea ceremony in South Korea originated from the thoughts of Wonhyo Daisa and Hejing, monks in Silla era, and later became the Hundred Flowers Garden in Silla, and Li Kuibao, a poet and scholar whose thoughts of "harmony and whiteness" converged in the Korean era. Finally, we got a complete system from Master Xishan, a monk in the Korean era, and Cha Sheng Yicao Zen Master, who was given to Korea by God at the end of 65438 and the beginning of the 9th century. Zen master Yicao's Ode to East Tea and Biography of Shen Rong are recognized as tea classics by Korean tea people. Before we understand the spirit of tea ceremony in Korea, we must first understand the spirit of Hualangdao in Silla era. Hualang is a young talent under the age of 18 selected by the state, so that they can get systematic education in nature, civil affairs and military affairs. Hualangdao made Silla, the smallest of Koguryo, Baekje and Silla, prosper and finally unified the three countries. Therefore, when Silla reunites the Three Kingdoms, it is necessary to mention the spirit of Hua Lang Dao. So what is the spirit of flowers?

There are two famous Zen Buddhism in Korean history: one is that Chashan was refined in the West in the Korean era, and the other is the famous Cui Zhiyuan in the Tang Dynasty. In Cui Zhiyuan's Preface to Writing Langbei, there is such a record: "There is a mysterious way in China called Japanese romantic style. The source of Tao is recorded in the "Flower Lang Century" between China and Japan:' Flower Lang teaches Confucianism, Buddhism and immortals to educate all beings'. "

Li Bing wrote in the History of the Three Kingdoms: "They pay attention to the morality of harmony and loyalty, respect their own reputation, have a lofty heart, and have endless yearning and love for natural mountains, rivers and plants. Shilla's Hualang combines the advantages of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, travels far and wide, and gets physical and mental exercise. Combine body and mind with drinking tea, so that the human body can get its spirit. Nowadays, stone tea sets and related cultural relics related to tea can be found in all the monuments of Hualang. In particular, Wonhyo Daisa, the initiator of "Hua Lang Commandment", has reached the realm of meditation and self-enjoyment. Wonhyo Daisa's tea-Zen thought and tea-like style became a static thought. He is not a pure harmonious spirit, but is integrated with nature: the most important thing in this kind of quiet thought is quiet thought. This refers to extreme silence. He was brought back to the root of silence, and the root of silence is silence. Laozi mentioned it in the Tao Te Ching. " Before I got to Meiyun, I returned to my source and finally returned to peace. "Lao zi and Wonhyo Daisa are consistent in static state at this point.

Although Wonhyo Daisa is a self-taught holy monk, he is a great Buddhist. But it is commensurate with the thoughts of saints and old children before. Wonhyo Daisa's thought of quietness and the embodiment of tea pattern in Korea after Silla were highly praised. People call it stone, and the idea is the root of the spirit of Korean tea ceremony.

The spirit of Korean tea ceremony is rooted in deep quiet thoughts, and it has been sung and passed down in the poems of Zheng Mengzhou, Cucui, Li Xing and others in Korea, in the poems of Master Xishan in Korea, and in the poem "Ode to East Tea" by tea pickers in grass clothes. Therefore, the spirit of Korean tea ceremony is the same as Silla's flowers, that is, spirit and tranquility.

The spirit of tea ceremony in the second year of high school was summed up by Li Kuibao, a university tea man. It can be seen from Cai's poem: "A few words bother you." It's hard to get what you want, and the witness is empty. Tired of listening to Han Zi's double black, he told Zhuang Sheng that Erchong flowing water fragrant tea is really delicious, and that Baiyun Mingyue is a family style. "The three words here refer to the three sentences of the Tathagata. In other words, after drinking tea, I realized the wonderful truth of vacuum. Immersed in the thoughts of Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi. Li Kuibao sublimated the charm of tea into the charm of Tao through this poem, that is, meditation. Here, we can see his spirit is pure and innocent. Let's enjoy one of his tea poems again.

Self-fried with live fire, hand-lit urn boasted about color and taste.

Sticky mouth is crisp and soft, like a wet behind the ears baby.

There is nothing in the awe-inspiring study room. I like to listen to the sound of signing in the pot.

It's family style to drink tea and water, so don't keep healthy in Rong Shi.

You can peek at the self-satisfied and conscious spiritual practice while frying tea in front of the stove. Tea smells like a baby sucking its mother's milk. It means innocent. I can't feel anything except the sound of the teapot boiling water, which shows a quiet and peaceful heart. Millennium glory is not as good as tasting water as a teacher, similar to Lu Yu's spirit of stopping virtue.

The above thoughts of Li Kuibao, who represents the spirit of the Korean period, can be summarized as: feeling harmony, responding to harmony, and being innocent.

The Korean era is a cross period when the life of folk tea is weakening day by day, but the spirit reaches its peak. Forced by corrupt officials and tea taxes, the number of people who left their homes angrily after burning tea gardens gradually increased, and then the tea production decreased, and the people could not drink tea. But the tea garden planted in the hearts of monks and scholars in the deep mountains cannot be burned or cut down. Zen master Yicao is one of them. Cha Shan Ding Ruoyong, one of the two great sages in Korean history, believed in Catholicism and was sent to the south. At that time, 15-year-old monk Yicao was studying under his door. Through years of tea life, I have a deeper understanding of the mystery of Zen Buddhism and the mystery of tea ceremony, and sort out the east and the west through the pro-Zen thought and tea Zen thought of Silla Wonhyo Daisa. His essence is righteousness. It is the epitome of the spirit of Korean tea ceremony, and later generations respectfully call Yicao the Cha Sheng of Korea.
