『임원경제지』 「정조지」의 차(茶)에 대한 고찰 = Study on Tea in Imwonkyengjeji; Jeongjoji

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Imwonkyengjeji is an encyclopedic book written by Seo, YooGu (1764~1845) for over forty years. It covers sixteen aspects of knowledge, such as food, shelter, costume, cultural life and healthcare, about the gentry’s lifestyle in rural areas. Among them, Volume 8 of Jeongjoji is the chapter about food and it mentions ‘tea’. There are five major kinds of copies reported as manuscripts of Imwonkyengjeji. The documents of the encyclopedia, however, are inevitably erroneous in the process of organizing, editing and transcription. Therefore, restoring manuscripts to the original text necessitates selecting a manuscript considered as a draft that involves the basics of the original text, or a well preserved script, and modifying it. In this study, as ‘Gyujanggak-Bon’ is the most well-known and widely spread book, it is considered as the basic draft of the original script. Other manuscripts are cross-referenced with the manuscript of King Jeongjo in pursuance of better interpreting Umcheongryu in Jeongjoji, while narrowing the discrepancies among different manuscripts. General essays on tea and sixteen different kinds of tea are examined first in the study.
