This dissertation aims to study the esthetic lives of the revivalists of the tea culture as well as ‘Damiron(Theory on the beauty of tea)’ in the late Joseon Dynasty era. Korean tea culture developed along with the Seon sect of Buddhism since tea was introduced during the Period of the Three States. It was the crest of a wave in the Koryeo Dynasty era but it ebbed during the Joseon Dynasty era whose policy was the anti-Buddhist. During this time the temples and the lecture halls barely survived. The revivalists of the tea culture in the Joseon Dynasty era were Dasan (Jeong Yakyong) and Choeui Euisun. Dasan had a profound knowledge about the efficient use of tea since his childhood and his exile in Kanjin for eighteen years paved a way to deepen his esthetic recognition concerning the tea, which built the esthetic and practical space, 'The House of Dasan' in the end. Also, Dasan could complete ‘Damiron’ in close cooperation with two masters, Hyejang and Choeui in the beautiful natural environment. ‘Damiron’ means to recover one's personality and to lead an affluent life. The thoughts of Dasan coincide in opinion with the spirit of community that mankind aims for, themes which can be found in his works [Kakdago] and [Dasingyejeolmok]. Choeui was a master of Seon Buddhism in Korea who is called ‘the saint of tea’. He formed many close friendships with Kyeonghwasejok as well as Dasan and Chusa(Kim Jeonhi), which brought him to add depth to his knowledge and finally he was able to Iljiam’(the hermitage he built) with longing for leading his own esthetic life. He practiced both Seon and Samadha-vipassana(Concentration and meditation) while he stayed at ‘Iljiam’. [Dasinjeon](the manuscribed copy of [Daegwandaron] of China) and [Dongdasong] concerning the tea were written and subsquently, the thoughts of ‘Seonnongilchi (Putting Seon and agriculture in the same class)’ and ‘Daseonilyeo (Regarding Seon and tea in the same light)’ were developed. Choeui’s [Dasinjeon] says, “Tea is the soul of water, water is the body of tea. Barring purified water, its soul can’t be unveiled. Likewise, without the clean water, the body can’t be seen.” As appears out of his works, he put an emphasis on the importance of tea water highly enough to compare the sound of boiling water to the extent of his enlightenment. Resultingly, ‘Damiron’ could be done during Dasan’s exile in Kangjin and the esthetics of the tea could be completed by Choeui with meeting his teacher Dasan as a source of momentum. Dasan and Choeui’s ‘Damiron’ were succeeded by Hyodang(Choe Beomsul ) and Keumdang(Choe Gyuyong) in Yeongnam province and Korean tea was discovered and pupularized by Hyodang during the 16th century of Japanese Invasion of Korea. Especially, Hyodang introduced Choeui to the public and stipulated the tea as ‘The Graceful Style of the Public’. He said that ‘The Graceful Style’ means what is in harmony with the burst and amplification of energy, which arises when the living things’ original colors encounter the profound law of nature. Also, he became aware that ‘the Graceful Style’, which is the common nature of human beings seeking to live a public life, free from any kinds of discrimination and conflicts, exists in the human mind. He lent himself to the independence movement during the Japanese Invasion of Korea and wrote [The tea ceremony of Korea] with traveling to and from Japan, which brought ‘Damiron’ to completion. Keumdang(Choe Gyuyong) put forth a great deal of effort to diffuse and popularize the tea culture. A variety of organizations where people could share the tea culture were formed and his writing activities and translation works were done to bring tea culture to the masses. Meanwhile, he completed ‘Damiron’ by the concept of ‘KKikdarae’ which means ‘Come for a cup of tea’ highlighted on communication in combination with that of ‘KKickdageo’ introduced by Seon Master Joju who had completed the thought of ‘Daseonilyeo(Regarding Seon and tea in the same light)’. The concept, ‘KKikdarae’ of ‘Damiron’ contains idea of the taste of the tea which stresses the beauty of modesty and simplicity from the point of view that one can enjoy the tea anywhere only with a tea cup and a thermos. This study regarded Dasan and Choeui as the revivalists of the tea culture of Korea and focused on the Hyodang and Keumdang’ esthetic lives and the completion of the ‘Damiron’ by them. ‘Damiron’ is a kind of culture medium of the social anthropology which connects personal concepts such as esthetic achievement, consciousness, emotion, a sense of beauty and esthetic category, with a group sense of beauty. That is to say, it indicates a sense of beauty as a complex of concepts which include thinking, feeling and Korean esthetic category. In this sense, ‘Damiron’ aims for tea manners, tea energy, tea ceremonies and tea spirit. Eventually, ‘Damiron’ proves that tea can be used as esthetic medium not only in the spiritual sphere and but also in the society in the forms of sociable manners, consciousness, health and special occasions etc. Namely, it can be said that a person’s heuristic value and his/her subjective esthetic inclination were extended as a concept of a sense of beauty of the society in that era. In reflecting this to the esthetic lives of the revivalists of the tea culture, it can be stipulated that Dasan focused on ‘Chanolum(enjoying drinking tea)’, water, Choeui on ‘Mulnoleum(enjoying having water)’, Hyodang(Choe Beomsul) on ‘Meotnoleum(enjoying the graceful style)’, Keumdang(Choe Gyuyoong) on ‘Matnoleum(enjoying the taste)’. In other words, they all ultimately enjoyed tea and water and played important roles in promoting the values and the quality of life. In conclusion, according to ‘Damiron’, the Korean beauty can be found in the human, nature, and humanity’s inclinations on the basis of eco-friendly concepts. That is to say, ‘Damiron’ is stipulated as Korean esthetics in the way of the value system of the community, such as spiritual values in the esthetic values, humanity to be real me and us, esthetic prevalence of Korea, beauty of personality, beauty of life, values of life, contemporary meaning of traditional values, esthetic inclination of simplicity, innocence and exhilaration, as well as the geographical climate and the way of survival. ，免费韩语论文，韩语论文题目 |
