In the Joseon Dynasty, slaughtering cattle without permission was punishable.
However, in the late Joseon period, there were as many as twenty-three "Hyunbangs" in Hanyang that specialized in selling beef.
Who operated these Hyunbangs, and how could beef be sold legally in a country that prohibited the slaughter of cattle? Furthermore, what kind of meat did the people of Joseon actually obtain and eat, and how were they consumed, compared to how they are often depicted in historical dramas as eating only barley rice and vegetables?
In this video, we examine the Hyunbangs operated by the Banin (commoners) affiliated with Sungkyunkwan, the policy prohibiting the slaughter of cattle, the ceaseless illegal slaughtering, and the beef distribution and charcoal-grilled meat culture of the late Joseon Dynasty through historical records.
Not all commoners ate meat frequently. However, the common notion that beef was food exclusively for the royal court and the nobility also differed from the reality of Joseon.
If you dig into old records, you will find stories that are more human than you might expect.
※ The number of Hyunbangs and their operating methods are based on information found in the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture and *Dongguk Yeoji Biggo*. ※ Some scenes in the video have been reconstructed to make it easier to understand the systems and lifestyles of the time.
