Abstract

This article is to look into Bing-heo-gak Lee’s view on food shown in 「JuSaEui (酒食議)」, 『GyuHapChongSeo (閨閤叢書)』 in comparison with 『EumSikDiMiBang』 written by Jang Gye-hyang in the 17th century. As many agree, the two best valued food books written in Hangeul by females in Joseon Dynasty may be 『EumSikDiMiBang』 written in about 1672 and 『GyuHapChongSeo』 written in 1809. The 『EumSikDiMiBang』 ‘s author, Jang Gye-hyang is only one daughter of Jang Hong-hyo, a Neo-Confucian scholar of Toigye school, who was born in Andong, Gyeongbuk in 1598 and married Seok-gye Lee Si-myeong from Yeongyang, Gyeongbuk in her 19. She is the mother of such famous Neo-Confucian scholars of her period: Jon-jae Lee Hwee-il and Gal-am Lee Hyeon-il, which means that both her family and family-in-law were under the Neo-Confucian academic circumstance. Whereas, the 『GyuHapChongSeo』’s author, Bing-heo-gak Lee is a daughter of Pan-don-ryeong Mun-heon-gong Lee Chang-soo. Her mother is the father’s sister of Yoo Hee who wrote 『EonMunJi (諺文志)』. Bing-heo-gak married in her 15 Seo Yoo-bon, elder brother of Seo Yoo-goo who wrote 『YimWonGyeongJeJi (林園經濟誌)』. Not only her family but also her family-in-law represented by Seo Ho-soo, father of her husband, and Seo Myeong-eung, grandfather of her husband were all under the Silhak – practical Confucianism – academic circumstance. Thus, the purpose of this article is to study Bing-heo-gak Lee’s practical view on food shown in 「JuSaEui」, 『GyuHapChongSeo』 in comparison with Jang Gye-hyang’s 『EumSikDiMiBang』.
