Food of Baekje
The forces that led to the establishment of the Baekje state around 18 BC were a branch of Buyeo, which has long existed as a loser in the north of Manchuria, and they are a Dongi people who have developed stored processed foods that have survived the cold winter with various stored foods while living in accordance with the harsh northern climate conditions.
Recent theories reveal that Pungnaptoseong Fortress in the Han River basin is Baekje's royal castle, and the artifacts excavated from this place are valuable data to reveal life at the time, and also contribute to convincing that the age of the establishment of the Baekje state is around 18 B.C., as recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms.
The food culture of this period, referred to as the so-called Hanseong Baekje period in the early Baekje period (B.C. 18~260) and the mid-term (261~475), which are "like China but consist of processed storage food-oriented 冷食 (cold) foods," will be revealed centering on relics excavated from Pungnaptoseong Fortress to provide an approaching 究 to the dietary culture of the time.
After the Tungus, who had 始源 in the Baikal area around 3000 B.C., moved from the eastern, western, and 熱 丘陵 regions to Manchuria, the ancient 濊貊族 (Yemaek) moved and settled on the Korean Peninsula long before the late Neolithic period of B.C. 2000, and they are called comb-patterned pottery.
Based on the Shandong Peninsula, known as the early Chinese culture, Yongsan Culture is a East-I people's culture characterized by 黑陶 culture that lived before 殷族, and is also the birthplace of the 殷 Dynasty.
Around 1100 B.C., during the replacement of 殷 and 周, the cold wave of the Yemaek people moved with the Xiongnu to conquer and integrate the comb-patterned pottery, 夷貊族 (Goma), to form a high-Joseon society, which are non-Mun pottery people with bronze culture.
The 支 stone 墓 left by the Gojoseon society is distributed across the Korean Peninsula in Shandong, North Gyeongsang, and Liaoning, revealing the same culture of ancient East 夷.
Along with Goguryeo, which was part of a federation called Gojoseon, the power that led to the establishment of the Baekje state was a branch of Buyeo, which has long existed as a loser in the north of Manchuria, and they are the eastern tribes that have developed storage processing foods that have lived in accordance with the harsh northern climate conditions and endured the cold winter with various stored foods.
Regardless of the East and the West, the primary storage and processing method of meat, fish, and vegetables is salted, and decontamination technology, which has been developed since the Neolithic Age, is a prerequisite for the development of such processing technology.
Based on a paper that reported that a large comb-patterned earthenware with a diameter of 65 cm and a height of 42 cm, which appeared to be an electric final mirror in the early Neolithic period, may have been a salt storage jar produced by 盆 or 釜 decontamination methods on the coast,
Neolithic people on the Korean Peninsula made food for storage in the form of salted food and put it in storage earthenware along with the settlement life by Hwajeon Nongyeong, and the earliest stored food performed by comb-patterned earthenware people living on the coast or at the mouth of the river would have been a method of processing fish by salt.
In a society that knows how to use salt as storage food by adding salt to protein foods (fish and shellfish), it is highly likely that the salt pickle form was mobilized and used as corrosion to store edible vegetables.
Following the comb-patterned earthenware people, the demand for salt increased as the population doubled and the dependence on grains and vegetables (agricultural economy) increased significantly compared to the comb-patterned earthenware people after the Mumun earthenware era, which maintained a living economy that was agricultural-oriented and 副 (wealth).
In the village of 800 people during the Mumun pottery period, at least 3.5 tons of salt had to be transported stably from the coast per year, so it was possible to move from coastal life to inland riverside areas, and to live mainly in agriculture and livestock.
The period of securing stable food by agriculture and livestock, and the formation of a continuous and stable salt supply organization from the coast to the interior is considered to be around B.C. 2000 to 1570, when agriculture settled in earnest, and during this period, the Korean Peninsula's Mamun pottery people would have built an organized "salt trade route" linking the coast and the interior.
Baekje, founded around 18 B.C., is no exception, and it is believed that the following systematic "salt trade routes" were built by increasing the demand for stored food due to the people and military-required group meals on the Korean Peninsula.
Salt produced in Incheon → Gyeonggi Bay → Han River Waterway → Pungnaptoseong
Salt produced in Incheon → Meat Road → Gimpo → Hangang Waterway → Pungnaptoseong
Mass production of salt is a manufacturing method that determines about 3% of salt in the process of boiling seawater in earthenware or kilns at the time [鹽釜 (Ministry of Salt), an industry with a national-scale system of mass production that requires securing beaches and a lot of firewood (wood) around the beach.
The division of labor of salt collection, fuel collection, decontamination pottery production, brazier, etc. was required, and salt was to be procured by itself
The secret to Baekje's power expansion along with its control of the central inland area, which could not be done, was made possible by the monopoly of salt production areas on the west coast.
It is a historical practice that there was a fierce battle to secure the 鹽 of the Maritime Province during the Warring States period, but the historical background at the time was that salt was a major government monopoly along with iron.
The Han River waterway was also used as a trade route with 郡縣 (Daegun County) using the Five 銖錢 (Osujeon) in the early Baekje period.
