조선시대 『謄錄』을 통해 본 왕비의 親迎과 권위

Abstract

This study examined the process, background, and detailed procedures in implementing Chinyoung(king's personal welcoming his queen), which was the core of practice in line with the customary formalities of a family, and its subsequent rite with focus on Deungrok while comparing to the customary proprieties of a family. Through this research process, this study intended to make clear the elements of authority possessed by a queen consort who externally attained a position equal to the king. The marriage custom during the early Joseon Dynasty period-Namkwiyeo gahon(a bridegroom goes to his bride' house to have a matrimonial ceremony) was done in the manner in which Yang(bridegroom) followed Ŭm(bride), so this manner ran counter to the idea of Confucianism. The Joseon Administration developed its steady effort to correct this matrimonial custom, finally preparing detailed rite procedures and at the same time holding the personal welcoming formalities(Chinyoungrye)at Taepyeongkwan. The acceptance of "Chinyoungrye" is interpreted as the recovery of Gorye(old manners) and it was carried out with the aim of setting anti-Confucian form of marriage right and establishing the propriety-based social order. In addition, it is assumed that the king and royal family's display of practising "Chingyoungrye" might serve to perform their responsibility for edifying the people while greatly contributing to the stability and retention of royal authority and royal family. "Chinyoung" at a temporary lodging for traveling officials had been held at Taepyongkwan even during the 35th ruling year of king Sukjong, and with "Eouidongbongung" designated as a detached palace during the 16th ruling year of king Injo, this palace was mostly used for "Chingyoung." The king welcomed his queen with the manners of a master of guests, and the guest(queen) fully observed the propriety as a subject. The king didn't use to carry out "Chogyerye" as he was already an orphan, nor did carry out it for his queen; however, the king asked his queen to completely do her filial duties by performing "Gyerye"(a rite of a woman's doing her hair up in a chignon as a symbol of a wife of the king). The king and queen performed "Dongryaeyeon"(a banquet in which the king and queen exchanged cups after doing the manners of bowing down to each other on the floor); however, instead of doing the manners of bowing down to each other, the king welcomed his queen with the manners of a master of guests by doing the manners of making a deep bow with two hands together, and there came up the symbolism in which the king and queen became equal in the distinction of rank through the manners of exchanging cups with each other. As for their first wedding night right after such matrimonial procedures were done, the dignified and majestic king's having sex was almost a taboo with the establishment of only the detailed rite procedures for entering the king's bed where blanket and pillows were laid. Afterwards, the queen performed the manners of a morning audience with the queen mother and with Royal Ancestral Shrine. Making "Chinyoung" as an orthodox propriety indicates the practice of "Garye"(an auspicious ceremony), and its completion was done by performing this rite. This rite, which was first during the 12th ruling year of king Jungjong, and the 29th ruling year of king Sukjong respectively, was the manners in the capacity of one's wife, in which the status as a daughter-in-law was certified by ancestors. However, the procedures symbolizing the established generation of the queen wasn't carried out. It's because the queen was already vested with the authority as a homemaker of the eldest son of a head family simultaneously with the installation of the queen.
