Food is not just to satisfy hunger and it is a value to design one’s emotion beyond standards of needs for great dish, design wonderful life style, and accept a new genre of cultures. As leisure • dining‐out culture is actually generalized, broadcasters have already aired a lot of food‐related programs right before weekend mealtime or at midnight to promote the development of food culture. In such a fiercely competitive situation where all countries focus on the development of food culture, it is firstly necessary to develop differentiated food culture with Korea’s own identity. Therefore, this study is conducted to examine Korean style with legitimacy by looking into food culture relative to court banquets of Joseon Dynasty. The reason to choose the special period of court banquets is as follows. Among numerous court banquets for 500 years of Joseon Dynasty, existent data available for data analysis and historical research are only 19 kinds. Even Euigwae made old times ago was also damaged and omitted by often wars and fire. Most of them are Euigwae related to banquets(King Injo ~ King Gojong) from 1630 to 1902, and among them schematized materials or data related to table setting are extremely limited. Hereupon, this researcher aims to investigate the foundation of legitimacy that can symbolize Korea from foreign visitors by analyzing court banquet table setting based on 10 kinds of Euigwae (King Injo 8, King Sukjong 45, King Youngjo 20, King Youngjo 41, King Jungjo 19, King Sunjo 27, King Sunjo 29, King Gojong 10, King Gojong 29, and Gwangmu 6). In addition, this researcher purposes to be satisfied by providing the primary basic data that will be suggested through analyzing and studying Euigwae data constantly.
