Abstract깍 깍

RI PT

Advances in transportation and communication have broken down critical barriers within the global economy, pushing us toward a more unified world. In keeping with this trend, processes of communication, transportation, and production are becoming increasingly standardized, mechanized, and automated. Yet as this global era of uniformity progresses, people and individuals will inevitably encounter identity confusion. Numerous individuals, ethnicities, nationalities, and countries around the

SC

world are working to counteract such identity confusion. As globalization progresses, groups and nationalities that fail to preserve their identities will dwindle and become absorbed by stronger entities. Therefore, many societies are investing great efforts into rediscovering and revamping their indigenous traditions, cultures, and customs. When

M AN U

travelers visit another country, one of the simplest avenues for them to experience the local culture is food. Unlike other cultural elements, many of which have become diluted because of globalization, native cuisines are still perceived as retaining the

TE D

traditions, uniqueness, and diversity of individual cultures. It is more important than ever for people and countries to expand and preserve their respective cultural currencies. In this respect, taking a cultural approach to Korean cuisine is a fascinating and meaningful endeavor. In light of the recent publication of a few articles dealing with the symbolic significance and meaning behind Korean cuisine, an effort to compile a list of the distinctive cultural properties of Korean food seems vital. Furthermore, presenting the aesthetics of Korean food through a method that integrates science and culture is a very significant task. The author of this paper firmly believes in its potential to advance

II. Aesthetics of Korean Food 깍

RI PT

An old Korean proverb says “What loods good tastes good.” In short, ancient Koreans carefully considered both taste and visual appeal when preparing food. In the author’s opinion, not many cultures can match Korea’s devotion to the aesthetics of its cuisine. Analyzing Korean food from an aesthetic standpoint, therefore, is an incredibly meaningful and fascinating endeavor.깍 깍

records that indicate how this particular dish got its name. It is clear, however, that the beauty of the dish’s balanced assortment of acorn jellies and seasoned greens was

AC C

likened to the tangpyungchaek, or “impartiality policy,” of King Yeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty (1694–1776), who recruited a diverse range of political talent to ease factional tensions; hence the application of the characters “tangpyung” in it.[9] This dish must have had an original Korean appellation, but it remains unknown and was converted to a name based on Chinese characters during the reign of Yeongjo. Thus, all records refer to it as tangpyungchae using the Chinese characters that signify impartiality. The argument made by Joo [10] (Joo Yeong-ha, unpublished data, found in his blog post “Song Inmyeong and Tangpyungchae”) that Yeongjo’s reconciliation policy was named after the dish is nonsense that goes against basic sitological principles of food etymology.In깍order깍 to깍 describe깍 tangpyungchae,깍 the깍 tangpyungchaek깍 policy깍 must깍 be깍 understood.깍 The깍 word깍

Gujeolpan and Shinsunro

AC C

Although not commonly seen in everyday life, gujeolpan ( ) and shinsunro ( ) are two dishes that embody the culinary principles of harmony and variety. Yet, rather than everyday platters that were enjoyed by average citizens, they were used more for ceremonial purposes such as ancestral rites and weddings. Many have claimed that shinsunro, in particular, was a palatial delicacy, but all research thus far shows that it was a ceremonial dish and was not served in palaces. Many people continue to misunderstand this distinction, necessitating further research and public clarification.깍As깍 an깍extraordinary깍dish깍for깍ancestral깍rite깍or깍ceremony,깍its깍recipe깍is깍not깍appear깍in깍any깍book깍of깍 Chosun깍 era.깍 Even깍 a깍 lacquered깍 dish깍 box깍 for깍 gujeolpan깍 excavated깍 from깍 Kyungju깍 Cheonmachong깍히

core values of Korean food strive toward spiritual maturity, consideration for others, and balanced living. Countries need to continue efforts to rediscover and reevaluate their native traditions, cultures, and customs. Native cuisines—unlike other cultural elements, which have become diluted as a result of globalization—are perceived as retaining the traditions, uniqueness, and diversity of individual cultures. It is more important than ever for people and countries to expand and preserve their respective cultural currencies.깍
