宋代 문헌 속 육고기의 문화상징 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the development of the China Song Dynasty(宋代)'s meat culture, represented by Lamb and Pork, is based on the stories in various literature, and secondly, the search for related documents to examine the change of perception that each class had and cultural symbolism of meat at that time, which was represented by Lamb and Pork. Culture is referred to as the 'soft power' that drives the development of society, but cannot help but be influenced by the political and economic situation of the era, as it cannot stand alone entirely from material foundation and political change. The development of the livestock farming and cooking techniques in the Song Dynasty, China, has created a unique carnivorous culture centering on lamb, a limited food ingredient that only the ruling class could enjoy, and this has become a heavy symbol of the rise of status and class, coupled with the ostentatious cultivation of the intellectuals and their incorporation into the power structure. Surrounded by the silk of the imperial family and aristocrats, the mutton, which had no choice but to lay down this heavy symbolism in the abyss of the war. At first, Pork was dismissed as a low-grade food ingredient, but as the stage of history and politics gradually moved from the Song Dynamic to the Southern Song Dynamic, it created a new branch of food culture in the station. It is a symbol of cultural superiority that embraces pork as an important place of food culture from the ruling imperial family and the knowledge class, and makes it a branch of the entire food culture beyond status and region.
