A Bite of Korean History 

 

How did tangpyeongchae and sinseollo get their names? 

 

Why does songpyeon look like a half moon? 

 

There are many interesting stories about our traditional food. 

 

Let’s dive into the fun history of our food.

 

Tangpyeongchae 

 

One day, King Yeongjo was having dinner with his officials and offered them something special. 

 

It was a dish with four colorful ingredients. 

 

Each ingredient symbolized a different political party. 

 

Yeongjo wanted to say that the four parties should work in harmony like this dish. 

 

This dish was called tangpyeongchae. 

 

The name came from Yeongjo’s policy tangpyeongchaek.

 

Sinseollo 

 

In the time of King Yeonsan, there was a scholar who was famous for his honesty. 

 

When the king did something wrong, the scholar was never afraid of telling him so. 

 

However, the king never listened to him. 

 

The scholar was so disappointed that he went to live on a mountain. 

 

While he lived there by himself, he mainly ate vegetables. 

 

He made a special pot to cook many different vegetables together. 

 

People called this pot and the food in it sinseollo. 

 

That is because the scholar lived like a sinseon, an imaginary person who lives alone in nature.

 

Songpyeon 

It was the time of the last king of Baekje. 

 

One day, the king and his servants found a strange turtle. 

 

Something was written on its back. 

 

It said, “Baekje is like a full moon, but Silla is like a half moon.” 

 

The king asked a fortune teller, “What does this mean?” 

 

The fortune teller answered, “A full moon will soon become smaller. 

 

On the other hand, a half moon will grow bigger and become a full moon.” 

 

The king became worried about his kingdom. 

 

However, people of Silla were very happy to learn this and made rice cakes in the shape of a half moon. 

 

Since then, people have enjoyed these half-moon shaped rice cakes, songpyeon.
