Abstract
The focus of this dissertation is the drinking and knowledge of tea from T'ang dynasty to Sung dynasty. It deals with how the tea knowledge ist understood in the context of common sense and everyday life at that time; how it is acknowledged and integrated as a part of the medical(ben tsao) knowlege system; to which degree the way of tea-making and tea-drinking, from tea planting, tea harvesting, tea baking, tea making and tea dring, etc., are related to the tea knowledge; and what the "tea image" is, and how it interacts with the way of tea drinking, after being integrated into everyday life.
In the first chapter of this dissertation concerns with the tea, tea knowledge and its attributes. In the second chapter the author analyses the contents of tea books, through which the chinese concept of tea, and which attributes of tea are most cherished by them, are explained. In the third chapter the process is addressed, by which tea is gradually integrated into the Chinese everyday life, especially that in the time of the T'ang and Sung dynasties. Since the Sung dynasty, tea-dringking became not only a part of daily habit, but also mental enjoyment. In the writing of the intellectuals and the records of city life, tea-drinking occupied an important role in the everyday life. The interrelation between the concept of tea and the refined tea ritual formed the leisure image of tea-drinking.
