This thesis tries to make a structural analysis of current tea treatment, understand the flow of tea culture, and provide the grounds for developing the culture. It aims at providing more Korean tea etiquette education with traditionality and objectifying it by the terms and rites for the culture being based on the direction of etiquette that past ancestors had basically performed in rites.
There are various methods of 'tea treatment' which is educated as many times as an increasing number of tea etiquette educational facilities, and its overall methods show similarity, but its detailed acts make a difference in a term, an order, a direction and so on because of different regulations pursued by each facilities, lacking a consistent standard. Many published tea books related to the treatment describe many contents about how to act. However, it is now necessary to fully study it because we remarkably lack the cases in which concrete grounds for it are presented.
It is natural for a method of the treatment to depend on the character of a tea meeting or an organization or on a region or a religion, and in the future it will continue to change into the form requested by the times. It is essential to make a study on the treatment based on ideas and scientific methods by making a clear literature study on the matter in hand for the consistency of the culture as one of Korean traditional cultures from the past through the present to an extension of the future.
This thesis first explained the basic components of the treatment, selected the five organizations performing it now, and investigated their life tea treatment. And it made a comparative analysis of current tea treatment sampling fifteen books related to the treatment published recently. Besides, it guessed the suggestions for its future development and its problems.
This study will well motivate a study on the treatment to attract a person's attention progressively, the field to be developed, and a higher level of more diverse tea treatment models to be created.
