This treatise deals with chronic state of famine and exploitation of famine relief food in the later half of Chosun Period and especially in relation with socio-economic changes. There with the impact of socio-economic factors on the chronic state of famine and exploitation of famine relief food is studied mainly with a literary approach. The influential factors which lead to the chronic state of famine were not only climatic restrictions such as flood and drought but socio-economic factors such as foreign invasion (Japanease invasion and Ching's invasion), frequent breaking out of revolt and technological development of agriculture (rice transplantation). And disorder of land system and cultivation of cash crops by the richer peasantry, lowering the economic status of the poorer peasantry who were a major constituents of the population, aggravated the famine state. Because the poorer peasantry were under the shortage of food, they had to seek something edible in the fields and mountains. In this process various kinds of famine relief foods were exploited by the poorer peasantry. The majority of famine relief foods were wild vegetables. Consequently the Chronic state of famine was a cause to introduce various edible wild vegetables into Korean food, which influenced modern vegetarian food habits and firmed the Korean's favorite taste to be hot and salty. These wild vegetables couldn't have a marvelous effect on the relief of starved people. Potatoes and sweet potatoes, which were newly introduced foreign crops, were encouraged to be cultivated for famine relief. But these tubers, unable to be staple food, didn't contribute to an increase in population.

During the late Chosun Dynasty, famine was the main cause of climate ecological background, such as frequent floods and droughts, the Little Ice Age (小氷期), and epidemic. In addition, it influenced the social and cultural background, such as failure toprovide Yiangbeop (移秧法), breakout of war and revolt, loss of farming cattle, grain consumption due to brewing, the concentration of wealth, and tenacity of shamanism. "Limwongyungjeji" "Injeji" of the last part had been written about the famine; wild plants to raw, dried, or dried powder, or processed pharmaceutical goods. Grain couldbe replaced in more than 330 types of famine relief food and recipes; 170 species of vegetables, 34 species of vegetation, and 33 kinds of fruit - the botanic foods were mainstream. Edible parts of these plant foods are those of 14 kinds: 175 species of leaves, 113 species of sprouts, 99 kinds of buds, and other fruits, roots, stems, flowers, etc. The recipe (poaching, salting, and oil-marinated) was written 186 times or forsoup, raw, and boiled.

Objectives : This study examined the characteristics of famine relief and fasting formulas in Korean Medical Texts from early Joseon to early modern period. Methods : In addition to previous studies and texts, basic materials were collected from various academic database such as the Korean Medical Classics Database, Korean History Database, Chinese Text Project, Weijiwenku, etc., then analyzed. Results : In Korean Medicine from the early Joseon to early modern Korea, there was a strong awareness to use fasting prescriptions which were applied in Daosim for the purpose of famine relief, using both medicinals and common food ingredients together as complex prescriptions rather than single ingredient formulas. Famine relief and fasting formulas were continuously listed in many medical texts published after the Donguibogam, in modified or newly improved forms. Moreover, the food ingredients and medicinals used in these formulas were consisted of those which could be easily found in the famished nation of the time. Many of these formulas were tried and tested prescriptions, frequently used in clinical settings. Most of the ingredients and medicinals used in the famine relief and fasting formulas were sweet, bland, and neutral in nature, supporting Qi circulation and tonifying the Spleen and Stomach. Therefore in times of famine, these medicinals could help prevent digestive problems and decline of stamina. Conclusions : Research and contemporary interpretation on the famine relief and fasting formulas could contribute to not only health management but to relieving nutrition imbalance and famine, expanding the field of Korean Medicine application.

This paper has made a close examination of Shingan Goohwang Chowalyo(1660), Cheesaeng yoram(1691), Sallim Gyungjae(1715) and Imwon simyook Jee(1827), to grasp what kinds of famine relief foods have been analyzed in terms of nutrition elements and cooking methods. And also this paper has surveyed the changes of these famine relief foods according to the times. Three hundred forty one famine relief foods are recorded in the above mentioned books, Among them, ten foods are recorded in common in these four books: pine needles, elm tree skin, soybeans, wax, jujubes, black beans, glutinous millet, turnip seeds white pine-mushroons and Chool-Atractylodes japonica. The methods of cooking and processing are most varied in the order of pine needles, black beans and elm tree skin, Pine needles are rich in protein and fat, and so may be regarded as the first of famine relief foods. Elm tree skin is of more than 50% carbohydrate and may be used in plate of cereals. I addition to these, Hwangui-milk vetch, Choonsu-cedrela Sinensis, Tacksa-Alisma Orientale Juzep and some other foods contain starch, glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. So they may be used for replacing cereals and relieving famine. Before these famine relief foods are cooked or processed, according to their ingredients they should be soaked in water for a time in some cases the water should be changed several times. In Shingan Goohwang Chowalyo and Cheesaeng Yoram, measuring units are rarely recorded, while in sallim Gyungjae, they are explicitly shown. Imwon Simyook Jee clearly shows the use of oriental medicine materials. And the fur above mentioned books show no record of famine relief animal foods. To these days, vegetables have been boiled, squeezed and seasoned with salt and oil, but the better the economic conditions become, the less other famine relief foods are used. Nevertheless it is expected that these natural foods can be made favorite dishes with the best use of their good flavors and tastes.

The "Namul" is a Korean common vegetable food composed of edible young leaves and soft stalks of wild plants or cultivating vegetables and treated with traditional condiments. It has been widely used as not only a regular diet but seasonal foods or special ceremonial foods. In this thesis, the kinds of edible plants for namul were philologically approached by books published in Korea from Koryo to Chosun dynasty. The first historical record about cultivated vegetable as food in Korea was a garlic and a gourd in $\ulcorner$Samkuksaki$\lrcorner$. According to numerous records, edible wild plants might have played an important part as food resources, since they have variable edible portions as famine relief foods. Four kinds of namul were first introduced in Koryo age, but in Chosun dynasty over eighty kinds were recorded. The root of ballonflower and white radish were most commonly used for raw namul and bamboo shoot and squash for boils ones. Most kinds of namul were introduced in $\ulcorner$Zeungtosanrimkwungiae$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$Limwonsiprwukji$\lrcorner$ influenced by pragmatism in later half period of Chosun. The chronic state of famine in later half period of Chosun caused to introduce various edible wild vegetables, and had greatly influenced on the Korean people to acquire vegetarian food habits and to favor salty taste. It seems to need a further study on recent nutritional problems including dietary fiber.ary fiber.

Objectives : The aim of the research is to study the edible parts and cooking methods for the Korean medicinal plants using documents of Japanese occupation era. Through this study, we expect that it will be used as a basis data on further Korean traditional edible herb. Methods : The research analyze the usage of 74 species of medicinal plants that are listed in the 『Wild Food Plants of Chosen(Korea)』 along with analyzing 8 extra documents about famine relief plants and cooking method written during Japanese occupation. Results : The result shows that the sprouts and buds are the most popular for the edible purposes but they are never used for medical reason. Roots and fruits take the highest percentage when it comes to medical purposes. Types of medicinal plants that were used a lot of cooking methods were side dishes such as 'Namul, Saengchae, Jangajji'. Conclusions : Using medicinal plants for edible and medical purposes were traditionally familiar with Korean culture but the changes provoked by industrialization forbid the knowledge to pass through. However, recently, the trend of having a healthy life interests people to backtrack this traditional way of using medicinal plants with new purposes. To inherit traditional knowledge and for the future development of Korean traditional ingredients, further research should be conducted.

Historical review on Korean vegetables was performed to illustrate the important position of the vegetables in Korean food culture. It is assumed that the cultivation of vegetable crops had been begun along with crop production. Korean people placed great importance on quality of vegetables including flavor and texture. It was also confirmed that vegetables had been cultivated and preserved by scientific methods. They grew vegetables at their leisure and knew to utilize medicinal effects of vegetables. This review reveals Korean ancestor's wisdom to use vegetables as foods for the relief of the sufferers from famine at the time of spring food shortage or crop failures.

이상으로 한국의 채소음식에 대한 시대적인 변화 경향과 최근의 채소 섭취량 및 섭취형태 변화 경향을 살펴본 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 부족국가시대와 고려시대를 거치면서 채소의 종류는 점차 다양해졌으며, 조선시대에는 거의 현재와 비슷한 채소를 이용하였다. 상고시대 이래 계속 섭취하고 있는 채소로는 마늘과 쑥이 있으며 삼국 및 통일신라시대 이후 현재까지 계속 섭취하고 있는 채소는 가지, 오이, 상추가 고려시대 이후로는 죽순, 토란, 우엉, 무, 순무, 파, 부추, 미나리, 배추, 아욱, 시금치, 쑥갓 등이 조선시대 이후 현재까지 계속 섭취하고 있는 채소는 고추, 호박, 토마토, 캐비지, 셀러리, 케일, 순무(turnip), 근대(beet), 등이 있다. 한편, 과거에는 섭취했으나 현재는 섭취하지 않는 채소로는 박과 마, 순채 등과 각종 식용야생초들이 있다. 2. 한국인의 채소 공급량은 일인당 연간 232.2kg으로 나타났고 이러한 양은 이러한 양은 전세계의 평균 공급량인 101.9kg과 비교해서 많은 편이며 아시아 지역에서 비교해 보면 중국(203.5kg)이나 일본(111.6kg) 보다는 많은 양이었다. 3. 채소섭취량은 1970년 이후에 뚜렷한 증가가 나타났으며 1990년에 201.1kg으로 가장 많았고 그 이후 감소하여 2000년에 다시 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 일본의 경우 1965년 이후 큰 변화없이 110-120kg 수준을 공급하고 있으며 중국의 경우에는 1995년 이후에 급속한 증가를 보이고 있다. 미국은 채소류의 공급이 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 나라로 나타났다. 4. 한국인이 가장 많이 섭취하고 있는 채소는 마늘, 파 등의 양념류와 배추김치, 무, 양파, 당근 등으로 종류가 매우 제한적으로 나타났다. 조사된 114종 가운데 섭취한 채소의 종류는 모두 72종으로 나타났으며 남자의 경우 1인 1일 섭취량이 가장 많은 채소는 배추김치였고, 그 다음으로 무, 양파, 파, 깍두기, 감자, 배추, 시금치, 애호박 등의 순서로 나타났다. 여자의 경우도 남자와 같은 경향이었으나 애호박이 다소비식품 내에 포함되지 않았다. 5. 구황식품과 부식으로 이용되었던 산나물과 야생식물의 이용은 현재 거의 사라진 반면 새로운 외래채소와 허브류의 도입은 급증하고 있으며, 채소를 섭취하는 방법도 다양해지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 전통적인 나물에 대한 기호도는 낮아지는 반면 다양한 채소를 이용한 쌈싸기와 녹즙, 생식등이 상업화되었으며, 채소전문식당이 나타나고 있다. 또한 여러 형태의 채식주의도 나타나서 채식문화가 다양해짐을 보여주고 있다. 앞으로 채소 음식의 소비는 더욱 다양해질 것으로 보이며 따라서 우리가 과거에 섭취했던 산나물들의 효능과 함께 우리나라 전통 채소 음식의 조리방법에 대한 연구 및 보급 방안에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 보이며 변화하고 있는 채소의 생산과 소비 현황에 대한 보다 정확한 통계자료의 수집이 시급한 것으로 보인다.
