한중 사찰 차문화의 비교 연구

초록

This study provides a comparative analysis of the temple tea cultures of Korea and China, exploring their historical backgrounds, developmental trajectories, and modern transformations. While both traditions share common roots in Buddhist rituals and the philosophy of "Tea and Zen as One Flavor" (Daseon-ilmi), they have evolved into distinct forms shaped by their respective cultural contexts. Historically, China institutionalized temple tea through the establishment of strict monastic codes known as Baizhang Qinggui, focusing on highly regulated "Qinggui tea rituals" that emphasized hierarchical order and lifestyle rules. In contrast, Korea has consistently maintained a tradition of "Heongong tea rituals," where tea is offered as a symbolic gift to the Buddha, accompanied by unique tea gathas (verses). In the modern era, China is focusing on the restoration of intangible cultural heritage, such as the Jingshan Tea Banquet, and integrating it into the tourism industry following the disruptions of the Cultural Revolution. Conversely, Korea has expanded its traditional tea culture into contemporary healing and mindfulness content, such as Temple Stay programs, blending the spiritual legacy of Master Choui with modern mental well-being needs. Ultimately, the study highlights that while China leans toward the artistic domain of tea arts (Daye), Korea preserves its identity within the realms of practice and daily etiquette.
