Abstract
The purpose of this study was to comprehensively examine 『Jeungbosalyepyeonlam』, which recorded the wedding procession of noble families in the 1800s, and 『Bongjeobyolam』, which recorded wedding food, and reconstruct food table setting and related crafts to identify cultural characteristics. The main results are as follows. First, the table setting for elderly guests accompanying the groom or the bride contained consideration to relieve fatigue and aid digestion. Second, the big table for the groom or the bride was sent to the in-laws' house, honoring the cooking skills and happiness of both families and indwelling the wisdom of learning each other's food customs and tastes. Third, the table settings for dinner and late-night snack on the first day of the bride and groom symbolized their harmony. Fourth, the bride's family promoted the groom's health by selecting good ingredients for an early breakfast, lunch or snack, and dinner table setting. Fifth, plum blossom tea placed on the groom's tea table could be the subject of an elegant conversation at the first meeting with the bride's relatives. Each of these table settings was also a cultural outcome in which crafts such as tableware, soban, oiled paper cover, and bojagi were harmonized. In conclusion, the table setting for the wedding procession of noble families in the 1800s has significance that can be used as a prototype of cultural content that connects the wedding ceremony, food, and crafts complexly.
