영문 초록

The introduction of tea into Korea and its first cultivation is well described at Korea's historical annals. "Samgooksaki". By the document, Vol. XX, the Buddhist monk Daeryum, a diplomatic envoy of the China in the era of King Heungduk, had brought the seeds from Chinese Tang into Korea in A.D. 828 and planted them at the Chiri Mountain. However, this paper questions about the facts above and does not support the hypothesis that the Indian Buddist monk Yongi during the era of King Jinheung of Shilla Kingdom had planted the seeds first time at the Changjookjun in Hhwaumsa Temple founded by himself. All these suspicions are based on weak historical backgrounds. The finding of Hhwaumkyung scripture named as Daebangbul Hwaumkyung of Shilla's baekmukseo, in 1979 proved that Yongi was the monk in Hwangyongsa Temple of Shilla Kingdom and sculptured Hhwaumkung scripture on the Changyookchon wall in A.D. 755. Our conclusion therefore tells that the first introduction of tea into Korea was A.D. 755, but not A.D. 828 as previously known. Also the first cultivation area was Changyookchon of Hhwaumsa Temple.
