白居易 茶詩 小考

Abstract

Bai ju-yi was a poet who was writing poetry while living in the office for a long time, but when he was alone or when meeting and interacting with acquaintances, he write a pome about tea while making or drinking tea. There is a lot of content about his skepticism about his long office life and his longing for a quiet life, and exchanges with his friends and acquaintances. Bai ju-yi liked alcohol to the point that he was called drunk teacher, but he have a deep knowledge of tea. So, in this paper, after examining the basic background of chinese Tang Dynasty tea culture, we examined the life and spiritual world of the literary men of the chinese mid-Tang period, representing Bai ju-yi, by examining and analyzing the contents of Bai ju-yi's pome about tea. This paper is a poem about Bai ju-yi’s Tea Poetry, and I saw one of the things that made it possible for a poet, Bai ju-yi, to live while enjoying life and sustaining life, even in a situation where his life is not smooth. This research on Bai ju-yi’s tea poems is a situation in which there are a lot of studies on Bai ju-yi, so more systematic and in-depth research is needed in the future. In addition, since the study of Bai ju-yi’s tea poetry is related to the study of tea culture in China, and also to the study of tea poetry of the literati in the dynasty, I think that more attention and research from researchers is needed. Therefore, I hope that various follow-up studies will be conducted in the field of Chinese literature and Chinese culture research based on this research on Bai ju-yi’s Tea Poetry in the future
