『雲林堂飲食制度集』 譯註

Abstract

Ni Zan(倪瓚), who lived at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, is famous as a gourmet. He wrote the 『Yunlintangyinshizhiduji(雲林堂飲食制度集)』. While studying the food culture of this era, I read this book. This text could be called ‘Shipu(食譜)’, it means ‘the old recipe book’. In the case of this text, there are about 50 recipes for making various foods and alcohol. I judged the value of this book to be special. The rationale is as follows. First, it contains detailed recipes that anyone can make it again. Second, this book introduced various ingredients of this era. Third, these recipes sometimes reflect regional characteristics of the area around Wuxi(無錫). Fourth, this article reflects Ni Zan’s cleanliness and characteristics as a gourmet. I introduced the translation and annotation result of this book in this paper. By introducing the entire contents of this book, I wanted to disclose that the value of this book is not different from my argument and it has value that can be used as a material to study food culture objectively.
