MAFRA and KFPI Unveil 'Korean Jang' Compendium to Globalize Traditional Fermented Sauces<\/div>\n

The \ub18d\ub9bc\ucd95\uc0b0\uc2dd\ud488\ubd80 and the \ud55c\uc2dd\uc9c4\ud765\uc6d0 have taken a significant step towards preserving and transmitting Korea's unique \uc2dd\ubb38\ud654 to future \uc138\ub300. As the inaugural achievement of their 'Comprehensive Long-term Plan for Archiving Korean Food Resources,' the two organizations announced the publication of 'Korean Jang,' a comprehensive \ucd1d\uc11c covering all aspects of Korea's \uc804\ud1b5 fermented sauces, known as *jang*. This series is expected to highlight the \uac00\uce58 of 'Korean Jang-making \ubb38\ud654,' which is currently being considered for UNESCO \uc778\ub958\ubb34\ud615\ubb38\ud654\uc720\uc0b0 listing, and contribute to promoting this foundational aspect of \ud55c\uc2dd worldwide.<\/p>\n

Significance and Background of the 'Korean Jang' Series Publication<\/h2>\n

The \ub18d\ub9bc\ucd95\uc0b0\uc2dd\ud488\ubd80 and the \ud55c\uc2dd\uc9c4\ud765\uc6d0 have been pursuing a 'Comprehensive Long-term \uacc4\ud68d for Archiving Korean Food Resources' to ensure the proper succession of Korea's culinary \uc815\uccb4\uc131 and its complete transmission to \ud6c4\ub300. The newly \ubc1c\uac04 'Korean Jang' series is the first significant \uacb0\uc2e4 of this \ub178\ub825, embodying the \uae30\uad00' commitment to fostering a deep \uc774\ud574 and widespread appreciation for *jang*, the \ud575\uc2ec essence of \ud55c\uc2dd. This compendium is particularly poised to play a crucial \uc5ed\ud560 in reinforcing the \ubcf4\ud3b8\uc801 \uac00\uce58 of 'Korean Jang-making \ubb38\ud654,' which is scheduled for inscription on the UNESCO \uc778\ub958\ubb34\ud615\ubb38\ud654\uc720\uc0b0 List in December 2024.<\/p>\n

The \ubc1c\uac04 of this series is part of a broader \ucd94\uc9c4 to \uccb4\uacc4\uc801 organize previously \uc0b0\ubc1c\uc801 \ud55c\uc2dd\uc790\ub8cc related to \uc804\ud1b5 \uc2dd\ud488, as mandated by Article 10, Paragraph 1 of the \ud55c\uc2dd\uc9c4\ud765\ubc95. The \ud55c\uc2dd\uc9c4\ud765\uc6d0 recognized *jang* as \uadfc\uac04 to sustaining the \ub9db and \uc815\uc2e0 of \ud55c\uc2dd. Over several months, they meticulously \uc9d1\ud544 this valuable \uc790\uc0b0, involving \uc804\ubb38\uac00 authorship and rigorous \uac80\uc99d. This \ub178\ub825 goes beyond a simple collection of \uc815\ubcf4, demonstrating a \uad6d\uac00\uc801 commitment to deeply exploring and preserving the \uadfc\uac04 of Korea's \uc804\ud1b5 \uc2dd\ubb38\ud654.<\/p>\n

In-Depth Academic and Practical Content on Jang Culture<\/h2>\n

The 'Korean Jang' \ucd1d\uc11c covers a \uc885\ud569 range of topics, from the \uc5ed\uc0ac\uc801 \uae30\uc6d0 of Korean *jang* \ubb38\ud654 to its \ud604\ub300-day \uba74\ubaa8. It includes \uc5ed\uc0ac\uc801 \uc0ac\ub8cc on the \ud0c4\uc0dd and \ubc1c\uc804 of *jang*, along with an \ud559\uc220\uc801 analysis of the \uacfc\ud559 \uc6d0\ub9ac behind *jang* \ubc1c\ud6a8 and its \uc601\uc591\ud559\uc801 \uc6b0\uc218\uc131 from a \ud604\ub300 \uacfc\ud559 \uad00\uc810. Moving beyond a simple fermented \uc2dd\ud488, the compendium delves deeply into the unique \ubbf8\ud559 of *jang* and the \uc9c0\ud61c of Korean ancestors, thoroughly examining the \uac00\uce58 of *jang* as the \uadfc\uac04 of Korean \uc2dd\ubb38\ud654 \uc804\ud1b5.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the series stands out for its \uc2e4\uc6a9\uc131, complementing its \ud559\uc220\uc801 \uac00\uce58. It includes meticulously crafted \uc870\ub9ac\ubc95 designed for \uc989\uc2dc use by \uc804\ubb38\uac00 working with *jang* in the \ud604\uc7a5. This practical guide aims to maximize *jang*'s \uc7a0\uc7ac\ub825 in \ud604\ub300 \uc0ac\ud68c, going beyond mere \ubcf4\uc874 of \uc804\ud1b5. Thus, 'Korean Jang' serves as a \uc885\ud569 archiving \uc790\uc0b0, bridging the \uacfc\uac70 and \ud604\uc7ac while satisfying both \uc774\ub860 and practical needs.<\/p>\n

A Catalyst for the Global Spread of Korean Jang Culture<\/h2>\n

To ensure the widespread \ucd94\uc9c4 of Korean *jang* \ubb38\ud654 both \uad6d\ub0b4 and \ud574\uc678, the 'Korean Jang' series has been \ubc1c\uac04 simultaneously in both \uad6d\ubb38 and \uc601\ubb38. This bilingual \uc811\uadfc\uc131 is expected to significantly enhance \uad6d\uc81c \uc774\ud574 of Korean *jang* \ubb38\ud654 and secure its recognition for \ubcf4\ud3b8\uc801 \uac00\uce58. The series will be distributed to \uad00\ub828 \uc7ac\uc678 \uae30\uad00, \uad6d\uacf5\ub9bd \ub3c4\uc11c\uad00, and \ud55c\uad6d\ubb38\ud654\uc6d0 worldwide, serving as a crucial catalyst for disseminating Korea's *jang* \ubb38\ud654 across the \uc138\uacc4.<\/p>\n

Lee Kyu-min, \uc774\uc0ac\uc7a5 of the \ud55c\uc2dd\uc9c4\ud765\uc6d0, emphasized that the \ubc1c\uac04 of 'Korean Jang' "marks the \uc2dc\uc791 of a \uc57d\uc18d to firmly establish the \uc815\uccb4\uc131 of our \uc804\ud1b5 \uc2dd\ubb38\ud654 and pass on this \uac00\uce58 \uc790\uc0b0 to \ud6c4\ub300." He added, "We ask for much \uad00\uc2ec and \uc131\uc6d0 for this \ucd1d\uc11c, which will go beyond a simple \ubc1c\uac04 to become a \ud575\uc2ec \uc790\uc0b0 for promoting the \uac00\uce58 of our \uc2dd\ubb38\ud654 worldwide." The \uc644\ubcf8 series is also conveniently available as a PDF download from the KFPI website, ensuring broad \uc811\uadfc\uc131.<\/p>\n
