AB - Seo Yu-gu, a high-ranking government official cum scholar in the late Joseon Dynasty, wrote Treatises on Management of Rural Life (Imwon Gyeongjeji), a most comprehensive practical encyclopedia dealing with rural life in the history of Korea. This led to the establishment of the so-called Imwon economics. Seo Yu-gu, whose pen-name was Pungseok, examined the food culture of the Joseon period centered on Imwon economics. It does not focus on the excellence of Korean culture. Rather, it critically examined the daily life pattern of Korea. Besides, it suggested a new criterion of daily life pattern by absorbing the positive aspects of living culture in Korea, China and Japan. The book has set a new standard. The food culture dealt with in Imwon encyclopedia was both the contemporary reality and the old future of Joseon’s food culture. Korean food is not a fixed entity but a process that is constantly changing. The great principle that guides the process is our mouth and body and the corresponding cultural sense. Through exchanges and convergences, we must form contents and enhance our senses.
