朝鮮後期 17世紀 宮闕 丹靑 硏究

Abstract

The research objects of dangchungs, colorful paintings beneath the roof, of royal palaces in the late Chosun Dynasty exist more abundantly than the previous era because the materials of danchung appear not only in the rebuilt and newly founded palaces but in the historical texts such as the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty since the Japanese invasion in 1592. But the present wooden buildings of palaces in the late Chosun Dynasty were mostly rebuilt during King Soonjo and Soonjong periods, namely, the 3rd late Chosun period, because the fires in Injo's restoration and Lee Whal's revolt destroyed many palaces and historical texts except for Changduk Palace. Donwha Gate, Seonjung Mansion, Kuzunwon Mansion, Changkyung Palance, Myungjeong Mansion, Hongwha Gate in the 17th century. As these remaining palaces were thoroughly changed and partially damaged by the Japanese Invasion, we now have difficulty in revealing their whole aspects. So, instead of considering the present aspect of palace danchungs as their prototype, we need to align a comprehensive reorganization about palace danchungs. The theme of this treatise is the understanding of the forms and characteristics of palace danchungs through the wooden palaces in the 17th century. It will also compare them with the same period temple danchungs and figure out similarities and differences between these two forms of palaces in the 17th century. By doing the process, this treatise establishes the basic form of palace danchungs of the 17th century, namely, the late Chosun Dynasty. Organizing palace danchung of the 17th century leads us to know that Jinchae danchung was publically controlled except for royal palaces and that King's permissions were required for it except for Jeongjeon and Pyeonjeon in royal palaces. Also, it is known that the important Jeongak of palace used Jinchae danchung while the other less important monuments used pakjae danchung. And the China-imported pigments were used only in jinchae danchung according to the rules related with danchung. Danchungs in Changkyung Palace, Myeongjung Mansion, Myeongjung Gate, Sunjeong Palace in Changkyung Palace among the wooden buildings of rebuilt and newly founded of the 17th century are regarded as the genuine 17th century danchung and possess the same form as the rafter-tip patterns in temple danchung. This period also has the oldest form of danchungs, compared with danchungs of the wooden buildings in other palaces built since the 17th century. The research of palace danchungs of the 17th century shows that the rules for danwhak, red and blue special ingredients produced different forms of danchungs according to the importance of building. Given that there were historical situations of reconstructing palaces, historical materials in the Annals of Chosun Dynasty and comparision with the form of danchungs in other buildings than the royals palaces, the application of present Kumoro danchung must be reconsidered in application to the royal palces as standard and instead we can conclude that the use of kum dangchung is more desirable in the light of royal authority and hierarchy.
