敦煌写本《茶酒论》新考

摘要

The Dunhuang version of Chajiu Lun ( On Tea and Wine) consists of seven manuscripts rather than six, as was previously supposed. Four of these pages record the name of the author in different ways. Considering the development of tea culture in the Tang dynasty, the Chajiu Lun can be presumed to have been written around 800-805 CE. Certain transcription characteristics reveal that many culturally educated persons from the lower classes of society greatly enjoyed this text and even copied it for their own use.%敦煌写本《茶酒论》应为七个写本，而非学界一直认为的六个；四个写本抄有作者姓名，但作者姓名的写法不一致；结合唐代茶文化发展状况，《茶酒论》的创作时间或可推定为800－805年之间。从传写特征看，《茶酒论》写本是民间一些有文化的底层人士，出于个人喜爱，随手抄写，留为自用。
