KOREA AS PART OF THE MONGOLIAN WORLD:PATTERNS AND DIFFERENCES

Özet

The Mongolian world order was never a single unified, focused entity in large part
because of a strong tradition persisting to the end of communality. As time went on this included
Koryo Korea, a “son-in-law state” with strong marriage and other links to the center, in its case
Mongol China, and one which used its special position to parley economic and political power
within an expanded East Asian realm. Its relationship with Mongol China included many
resident Koreans in Daidu and elsewhere and powerful consorts such as Empress Ki who
dominated the last reign in Mongol China and whose son inherited. The present paper looks at
this special relationship between Korea and the Mongol world and also at some of the cultural
interaction involved, in this case cultural influences from the Mongol world as seen in the many
changes in Korean foodways that took place during the time, including the coming of the
national drink, distilled soju. It emerged based upon Mongol technological innovations and the
known interest of the Mongol occupiers in distilled alcohol, based in milk for the conquerors but
more typically in rice for the Korean conquered.
