论唐宋茶文化的伦理意涵

The Ethical Meanings of Tea Culture in Tang and Song Dynasties

唐宋时期,儒家文化在与佛教、道教"三教合流"中牢固正统核心地位,建立了以父子、君臣、夫妇、兄弟、朋友等"五伦"关系为要义的社会伦理规范体系。在此其间,随着茶文化的勃兴和发展,茶文化与儒家文化不断融通互构:一方面,在儒家主流文化影响下,茶文化被赋予父子有亲、君臣有义、夫妇有别、长幼有序、朋友有信的伦理教化意涵;另一方面,随着饮茶之风的盛行,"茶"这一自然之物在各类茶事交往活动中成为"国饮",其丰富的伦理意涵也进一步扩展了儒家文化的物质载体。

In Tang and Song dynasties,Confucian culture was firmly orthodox in the integration of Buddhism and Taoism,and a system of social ethics was established based on the relationship between father and son,monarch and minister,husband and wife,brothers and friends.During this period,with the rise and development of tea culture,tea culture and Confucian culture have been integrated.On one hand,under the Confucian culture,tea culture is endowed with many valuable contents,such as father and son have loves,monarch and Minister have righteousness,husband and wife have differentiation,elders and youngers are orderly,friends are trusted.On the other hand,with the prevalence of tea drinking,tea has become a "National Drinking" in all kinds of tea activities,and its rich ethical implications have also extended the material carriers of Confucian culture.
