Do you know this colorful food?
Its name is 'Tangpyeongchae'!
Seemingly, It is just "Food" but It has value of "Harmony."
It was made by King Yeong-jo, the 21st king of Josun Dynasty.
At that time in Josun, there were 4 parties - Buk-in, Nam-in, Dong-in, Seo-in - being antagonistic to each other.
King Yeong-jo realized necessity of concord between the parties to govern the country peacefully.
So he carried out a Tangpyeong policy emphasizing balanced appointment from each parties.
The food Tangpyeongchae was a part of policy.
Tangpyeongchae is the food eating evenly mixed 4 ingredients.
These are 4 ingrdients.
Black, roasted laver, represents Buk-in.
Red, fried beef, represents Nam-in.
Blue, dropwort, represents Dong-in.
White, mung-bean jelly, represents Seo-in.
Just as 4 ingredients are mixed together and make one flavor and color, Tangpyeongchae was King Yeong-jo's effort to achieve the peace in politics.
