한국, 중국, 일본의 숙박(宿泊)문화 연구

Abstract

This study is focused on the cultural properties of lodging facilities in Korea, China, and Japan. The research method on the accomodations which can be the integration of the culture on clothes, food and house and also tell three countries' cultural differences is crucial to find out each country's cultural discrimination point. The research on the definition of accommodation, food culture, and how to serve can tell us the meaning of accommodation in the whole society and unique cultural tradition in each country. The lodging facilities are the place not only for sleeping but also for lessening travellers' fatigue with alcoholic beverage in Korea, food in China, and bath in Japan. They are called ‘Jumak’ in Korea because of selling the beverage, makgeolli, ‘Banjeom’ in China because of serving food, and ‘Ryokan’ in Japan because of bathing. They can show the cultural differences of three countries, depending on alcohol, cuisine, and bath. ‘Jumak’ in Korea served the dish ‘Gukbab’ for people eating the meal in a short time, which can reflect the trait of sharing soup in Korean food culture. The trait can stand for the sense of tight bond and community in Korea. ‘Banjeom’ in China served ‘Manhanjeonseok’, various and plentiful cuisines, for enjoying the meal together. Chinese have taken out and had the dishes of big plates on the circle rotary table and the food for Chinese means joining. ‘Ryokan’ in Japan served ‘Kaiseki’, a formal cuisine from a warrior family on the Middle Ages. The dish is served to the customer's room by a portion of course dish, which can show us the individualism of not sharing food with others. How to serve can let us know the sprit of ‘Jeong’, the unique sentiment in Korea, ‘Banguk’, the means for business in China, and ‘Omotenasi’, the way of careful and kind serving in Japan. In conclusion, the accommodation of three countries can be the place to symbolize the salient features, ‘sharing’ in Korea, ‘joining’ in China, and ‘individualism’ in Japan.
