육례절차의 儀器 陳設과 시간 질서

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the rotations of the ritual tools and Time order in the six-rituals for “Yi Li Shihūnlǐ”. For this Purpose, the study is focused on an imitated point of view, running the sun, the moon, and the stars, the constellations in the “曆象授時圖”. Up to now, even though Shihūnlǐ has been generally interpreted as yinyang theory by “Yi Li interpreter, this study paid attention to astronomical time in the wedding ceremony. And then analyzed a kinds of the ritual tool in the ceremony process. Finally it has been proved what the astronomical time is inherent in wedding ceremony process. There were the two kinds of ceremonies be taken for 賓 after the ‘問名’ among the six-rituals process and the bride after ‘見舅 姑’ ceremony. I was found those ceremonies related to the constellation of the Big Dipper that consists of 魁 belongs to head has 3 stars, 杓 seems to it’s handle has 3stars, and 衡 is located the center of it has a star. The ritual tools are a cup and a spoon at those ceremonies, so the direction of the spoon was applied to each time at which 3 times correspond to 3 parts of the constellation of the Big Dipper. And also two kinds of spoons directions are heading South. It is confirmed to imitate that the view point of the 曆象授時 is not only ritual tool but also who host stands for the northwest. That northwest is imitated the ‘建’ of the Big Dipper, so it makes sure of being a model where is forward 卯 in the middle of the spring as called Jungchun(仲春). The direction of the cup which the helper first put was different each other where were placed first of ‘醴賓’ and ‘醴婦’. After the ceremony was held after each ceremony, it was held at the end of ceremony which the putting the spoon was conducted in relation to ‘衡’ of the Big Dipper. The time used by ‘魁, 杓, 衡’ of the Big Dipper were consistent with the time by used dawn, sunset, and midnight during the day. After completing the ceremony, and it was based on the viewpoint that is located at the 5 points in ‘更點法’(a time scale) that limited the ancient night time. For this reason, the head and handle of the spoon were modeled on the Big Dipper. As a result, the direction of the spoon in the two kinds of ceremonies were mean as a time that mimics dawn, sunset and midnight a day. In sum, the change of each spoon’s ceremonies in the process of 醴禮 was modeled on the ‘魁, 杓, 衡’ of the Big Dipper that directed to a one in the 12 Months at the same time. So the change of each spoon’s direction was based on the direction of the ‘月建’(month determinant) to the 3 times a day whenever the constellation of big Digger was used as ‘建’.
