술 제조법과 사회적 기능을 통해 본 고구려의 술 문화

Abstract

The development of Goguryeo’s liquor and liquor manufacturing methods may have been based on the Goguryeo people’s efforts to produce grains and the tradition of “善藏釀”. Considering the level of making alcohol in East Asia and our ancient countries, we have generally made breweries using grain. It is thought that it will be possible to manufacture a high-end liquor. This may be due to the increase of grain produced in Goguryeo and the development of methods of utilization. Among the tools used by Goguryeo people in making such liquor are steamer and pot. There is a mortar, such as a mortar, used for making yeast, and a bowl and a jar used for making liquor. Drinking glasses, bottles, and utensils used to scoop out alcohol were also used as necessary tools for drinking. In Goguryeo society, the use of alcohol can be attributed to the use of alcohol used in rituals, and alcohol was used in various rituals. In particular, alcohol used in rituals plays a role in bringing together those who participate in the rite, understanding and solidarity with many people in important events and situations. Also, alcohol is most commonly used as a celebration for celebration, consolation, welcome and farewell. In the country, people hold parties and drink alcohol to promote harmony among military gods, encourage foreign envoys from other countries, and console them for their hard work in coming a long way. In addition, there is a drinking party to celebrate the joys of the country, which is a means to entertain and communicate with each other well. Finally, the use of alcohol in everyday life takes place within the family, which can be seen in order within the family, and has been favored by many as a special item to show off one’s wealth and status. As such, alcohol was manufactured and consumed in various ways in Goguryeo society, all of which were cultured and socially functional in line with the development of Goguryeo.
