西溪 朴世堂의 對淸 禮俗認識

Abstract

Seogye Park Sedang, who had been dispatched to Ch’ing as an envoy in 1668, wrote two books called Yeonhangrok(燕行錄). One of them is Seogyeyeonrok(西溪燕錄, the record of his travel in Peking). In this study it has been attempted to find out his recognition of Ch’ingng through Seogyeyeonrok and related records. As a matter of course, this attempt means one of the processes of finding out his general outline of Ch’ing. As the result, it can be found out tha this recognition of Ch’ing was molded very negatively by Ch’ing's ceremonies and customs(禮俗)., The classical school changed the purpose and messy shrines brought the negative image symbolized Jin(塵 the dusty world ) to him. He especially felt a severe cultural heterogenous sense by full court dresses and tonsures(剃髮) of Ching's people. Moreover, He had much negative recognitionof Ch’ing's Yeak(禮樂). He would deplored the scenes that impolite officials were acting entirely unmindful of the order of rank. He had doubts and a surprise about the Emperor of Ch’ing's(淸帝) schedule, using gorgeous and luxurious implements at New Year's Day. The play formed into a combat didn't look elegant at all at the banquet held by the Emperor(賜宴). After all, with the tea scorched and sickening smell at the banquet, he thoughtCh’ing's Yeak to bebarbarous like a bloody sight(腥塵). According to his observations onCh’ing's Yeak andcustoms, he also thought the Heavenly Way(天道) inCh’ing to be involuntary under the influence of liquor.
