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.
