Academy of Korean Studies: Ancestral Rite Food: Jeolla Province

A bar of family history, a shrine representing the source of descent, a fence buried in the hands of the mother of her master. I think, in a word, it’s ‘ old. ’. But this ‘ oldness ’ is not a history of the past that stands still at a certain time, but is a future - oriented ‘ old age ’ that lives and breathes until today. Similarly, paper culture is not a post-cultural heritage of the past, but a historical cultural scene containing the present and the future. The tradition of paper culture is largely dissolved in ‘the bonnet of the guests.’. The ‘ bonsai ’ are for ancestral ceremonies, and the ‘ guests ’ are to entertain guests. What's remarkable is that all of these are related to food. In other words, the idea of ancestor rites is that the offering (food) is established and the table is served with a pastant meal. In this respect, food is the key component of paper culture, but it's not a normal food and it'll be a common food. Common diets are often altered as food is changed by a change in culture, and so is the daily diet of the paper as well. On the other hand, the diet is for non-normal ancestors and so does not affect the current culture of food.
