  • Throughout the Chinese sphere, that is, in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, tea houses, tea stores, and tea meditation groups often without a particular religious orientation have appeared in the past decades. Tea lovers groups with various philosophical discussions appear throughout cyberspace, where people show their appreciation for tea as a drinkable delicious product and a spiritual tool. The question to be asked here is whether it should be recognized as a religious or spiritual practice agent in and of itself? Should we then talk about the present-day movement of teaism? If we do recognize this as a spiritual phenomenon, should it then be labeled as a New Religious Movement? The trajectory of tea in China is intrinsically connected to religious traditions. This connection is historical, yet it plays a part in the contemporary religious and spiritual sphere. The article explores the continuation and developments of tea culture in the context of the religious sphere of China, looking at practices connected to tea of communities, religious organizations, and individuals. The author explores how tea drinking, commercializing and tea related practices intersect with politics, materiality, and spirituality in contemporary society. In this context it is then argued that tea is a cultural element, religious self-refinement tool, and an active material agent with social-political capacities. The study includes historical narratives, ethnographic data, and literary sources about tea, making up a genealogy of tea which encompasses ritualistic aspects, economic aspects, and power relations related to tea in Chinese society.

  • Foreign culture, introduced by cultural exchange, was modified and accepted into a new form and value system. Culture speaks for the characters of the period, so it is presented by the mutual actions of many factors affecting culture. Religion is the essence of human life and the source of ideas about life, the universe and existence, so they become hidden inside of the structure of culture. Dancing costumes present the process of cultural modification and acceptance more vividly than general costumes. This research shows that, among foreign cultures, it is Buddhism that most influenced Chinese dancing costume. Taoism was the Chinese native religion that played an oppositional role against Buddhism. Taoism was hidden in Chinese dancing costume in every age. Chinese dancing costume changed many times due to the import of exotic styles such as Buddhism that partially replaced the Taoistic tradition. Therefore, it is confirmed that the process of cultural importation of exotic style was different according to the social, historical, and cultural backgrounds of China during the period from the Han to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

  • Yiguandao missions arrived in Korea no later than 1947. Despite many obstacles, including war and internal dissension, the movement has flourished in South Korea. Today there are three active major lineages and another seven smaller networks. This article relates the movement's overall development in Korea. We begin by discussing key missions dispatched to Korea by Yiguandao's founder Zhang Tianran. The northern port city of Tianjin was key to this effort, in particular a single temple, the Hall of Morality. In Korea the leaders found an unfamiliar cultural landscape that was soon engulfed in war. The Yiguandao missions tended to develop independently, without coordination. In an effort to unify the movement, the Morality Foundation was established in Busan in 1952. The article shows how Yiguandao's subsequent success in Korea is connected to the development of indigenous leadership. Local Korean leadership ousted Chinese members from the Morality Foundation in 1954, and this branch has continued under Korean leadership to this day. The ousted Chinese leaders continued to develop their own lineages. Two major leaders, Zhang Ruiquan and Kim Bokdang, were able to establish enduring legacies. A final section looks at organizational traits that will determine the movement's future prospects in modern Korean society.

  • 태평천국운동은 현대중국의 성립과 관련하여 차지하는 특별한 위상으로 인하여 세계 여러 곳에서 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 상당한 연구 성과에도 불구하고 기독교적 측면의 연구는 그리 많지 않다. 따라서 이 글은 이 점을 중시하여 태평천국운동과 기독교와의 관계 중 19세기 중국 개신교가 홍수전과 태평천국운동에 끼친 영향을 먼저 파악한다. 홍수전은 양발과 이사카 로버츠로부터 유일하신 존재 하나님께만 예배드려야 함을, 예수님을 구세주로 고백해야 함을, 그리고 성경을 배우고 익혀야 함을 깨달았다. 심오한 여러 기독교 사상을 배웠고 영생을 소망하며 천국과 지옥이 존재함을 믿었다. 그러나 이런 믿음을 이 땅에서, 특히 19세기 중국에서의 삶 속에 적용함은 이와는 다른 별개의 이야기였다. 우리가 잘 아는 것처럼 홍수전은 19세기 중국이라는 시공간적인 토대 위에 생성된 중국문화의 영향 아래 살아가고 있었다. 따라서 그의 서양 기독교적 믿음은 중국화 되고 또 그들 중국인들이 이해할 수 있는 문화와 세계관으로 재해석되어 실행되었던 것이다.
