AB - The biggest social event during the novel Joseon Dynasty would be the introduction of the Neo-Confucianism to the social system and political ideology, and there must have been several attempts to accept the new concept in their society. The tradition of Goryeo which buried diverse objects such as spoons, chopsticks and celadon to the tombs had been commenced since Goryeo was highly involved with the Northern people in China. According to the Confucian Ritualism, however, which was main initiative of Joseon idealism of that time, the tradition of Goryeo was not in accordance with the Joseon. In the meantime, the tradition of the funeral had kept changed since Goryeo, and this took more than 200 years to settle the funeral system of Joseon. During the late Joseon, the tradition of funeral had been changed which buried less spoons or few white celadon and coins into the tombs. To a certain extent, no more burial goods were usually found in the tombs. Although the funeral system had been changed, it should be highlighted that spoons were still the main utensils of dining during the Joseon Dynasty. Therefore, the primary dining composition was still rice, soup and dishes. From the evidence found in the tombs, the usage of chopsticks of early Joseon was quite rare. After the Japanese Invasion, Manchu Invasion and Great Famine, Joseon’s cuisine from the ingredients to diet, preserving techniques and publication of new recipe had been introduced in 18th Joseon. Given the painting which was drawn in this period, people who hold chopsticks were the solid evidence that chopsticks were highly used in this period. Also it is presumed that chopsticks were developed with the normalization of auspicious confucian ceremony. During the ceremony, the utensils such as dishes, tools and foods seem to be unified which resulted the requisite use of chopsticks for the ceremony.
