On the 17th May,2014, I was cycling from Ungilsan Station(운길산역) to Pal Dang Dam (팔당댐),it was about 60 km for me to cycle on that day. On the way, there is a shop selling the traditional Korean cylindrical containers. Korean use these cylindrical containers to store kimchi,red pepper paste,salt,soybean sauce,soybean paste, etc since Neolithic Age till now.  These cylindrical containers are made of clay. I like these very much, if compared with the plastic or glass containers....We have the size as big as l.2 m high or mini size of 7 cm,etc...The Kimchi stored in this containers are very delicious....


2014年5月17日，我骑着脚车/自行车从Ungilsan Station(云吉山驿站）出发至八堂水霸，全程来回 60 公里。途中，经过一家售卖韩国传统窑器的商店。自新石器时代这窑器就便开始采用至今，韩国人用它来
储藏泡菜，辣椒酱，盐，酱油，豆酱，等。我非常喜欢这窑器，如果与塑胶或玻璃容器。 这容器，大则1.2m ，小则7m。等。。用这窑器所储藏的泡菜，味道特别好。。。

"Bangjja" Brassware/黄铜器皿 ( 鍮器 ) /（유기 (방짜) Kitchen Ware 2013/03/04 16:57   http://kkimchi88.blog.me/70161259386

This set of Korean traditional bronzeware was displayed on the exhibition that I visited on 2nd Mar 2013. It is called " Bangjja" or " Yugi".  It is made up of an alloy of copper 78% and tin  22% and has subtler colors. When containing boiled rice, the warmth lasts long compared with stainless steel ware...

在 3月2日去参观一项展览，展览会上展出这一套传统的韩国黄铜器皿。韩文称它为 “Bangjja”或者“Yugi”，他是采用铜 78% 和 锡 22% 的合金制成的。

Bangjja, also known as yugi, is a Korean type of hand-forged bronzeware. A complete set of bangjja includes dishes, bowls, spoons and chopsticks. The main difference between Korean bronzeware or Banjja from other bronzeware is the alloy ratio of copper to tin. The Bangjja contains much more tin than other bronzewares (Cu:Sn = 78:22 as volume) while the normal ratio of tin to copper is 1/9. Due to this compositional difference, bangjja (unlike other kinds of bronzeware) can be sterilized. For this reason, it has historically been used as tableware for the royal families of Korea. Bangjja is used for the traditional presentation of Korean royal court cuisine (surasang).

50，60 年代的泡菜保鲜盒/Kimchi Containers in 50's & 60's

这是已故家婆遗留下来的泡菜保鲜盒，50，60 年代的产品。新一代的韩国妇女已很少选用这类的保鲜盒，喜爱一些设计精美的玻璃或塑胶保鲜盒。我个人却喜爱它。。。
These are the kimchi containers that my mother in law left for me. They are the products in  1950,1960. The new generation of Korean housewives do not use this type of containers anymore, they like the new plastic or glass containers..... But I like it very much....

迷你泡菜甕

这是韩国传统迷你型的 “泡菜甕”。在古代，没有冰箱设备的时代，韩国人都把泡菜放入泡菜甕保存。在乡间，韩国人更是把泡菜甕，约2/3的甕，埋在地里，储藏在甕里的泡菜，味道特别好！

韩式筷子和汤匙

韩国人家庭中所用的筷子和汤匙，都不是瓷器而是用不生锈的钢，制成的。汤匙的柄也都很长，柄的设计图案也多样化。。。

韩式筷子和汤匙的垫子

在韩国人的家庭，一些家庭在餐桌上都摆放瓷器或木制的垫子，以便把筷子或汤匙放在上面。这是我家的几款垫子。。。。
