≪회혼례도첩≫을 통해 본 헌수의식과 수상(壽觴) 굉(觥)

Abstract

This paper examines the use of the susang(壽觴, a cup of longevity offerings) and Goeng (觥, a rhinoceros’s horn cup)in relation to the wedding ceremony in the records as well as the actual ceremonies and the use of heonsu(獻壽, longevity offerings) in the ceremonies by examining the ceremonies and the susang visualized through the Painting Album of a Feast Celebrating The 60th Wedding Anniversary. The ritual of heonsu has a long history and has been practiced since ancient times. The drinking vessel used to make the offering, called susang, is represented by the Goeng. According to records, the use of a susang connected to the offering has been practiced since the Goryeo Dynasty, but it is believed that the offering using a susang became ritualized in the late Joseon Dynasty with the popularity of suyeon(壽宴, feast for celebrating longevity), especially höehonlye(回婚禮, the ritual of celebrating the 60th wedding anniversary). In addition, although a feast of celebrating the 60th wedding anniversary and its rituals have been understood to be our native customs with no Confucian basis, after reviewing the relevant records, it is believed that the dedication ceremony performed at the ceremony was based on the ritual of heonsu recorded in the Samassigeogajab-ui(司馬氏居家雜儀) of the Jujagarye(朱子家禮). The painting Album of A a Feast Celebrating The 60th Wedding Aniversary in the collection of National Museum of Korea, which visualizes the scene of the late Joseon Dynasty's scholar-official family, is significant as a realistic visualization of the heonsu ceremony mentioned in the record.
