从《世说新语》看唐以前饮茶观的两面性

Duality of Tea Drinking Views in the Pre-Tang Dynasty Based on New Anecdotes of Social Talk

中国饮茶历史悠久,周代即有《华阳国志》等文字记载,魏晋始兴,唐朝登堂入室大规模流行。《世说新语》作为魏晋南北朝时期颇具盛名的笔记小说,对于反映时人生活状况、心理活动都有重要的意义,其中《纰漏篇》第三十四记任瞻问“为茶为茗”事言及茶茗之分;而《太平御览》引《世说新语》王濛“水厄”事则展现了士人对于饮茶避之不及的态度。这两则侧重点迥然的故事反映了当时南北分别、人群殊异的独特饮茶观念,唐前饮茶观呈现出鲜明的两面性。

Tea drinking in China appeared in the early Zhou Dynasty with the first recorded in the Hua Yang Guo Zhi,developed in the Wei and Jin Dynasties,and then thrived on a large scale in the Tang Dynasty.As a famous literary sketch in the Wei,Jin,North and South Dynasties,New Anecdotes of Social Talk was of great significance in reflecting the living conditions and psychological activities of people during that time,in which it was recorded in the 34th chapter that Ren Zhan asked"for tea or ming"about the distinction between tea and ming.Textual research of the sources in Imperial Readings of the Taiping Era quoted from New Anecdotes of Social Talk is to show the attitude of the scholars to avoid the tea.These two stories with very different emphases reflect the unique concept of tea drinking at that time with different people in the north and south,And the view of tea drinking in pre-Tang period shows the dual character.
