憲宗 3年(1837) 永興 濬源殿 太祖御眞 模寫過程 硏究

Abstract

This article is to consider the process of damaging the Portrait of King Taejo(太祖御眞) at Joonwonjeon(濬源殿) and imitating it in 1837(憲宗 3). Joonwonjeon was built at Youngheong(永興) where the King Taejo was born in 1397. The Portrait was enshrined at Jinjeon(眞殿) during the Joseon Dynasty period and the portrait of King Taejo Lee Sung-Gye, Joseon's founder is especially enshrined at Taejojinjeon(太祖眞殿). Taejojinjeon in Youngheong was called Joonwonjeon, one of the Taejojinjeons which was built in five region in early Joseon Dynasty: Youngheong, Kyungju,Pyeonyang, Gaesung, and Jeonju. The Portrait was enshrined in Joonwonjeon in 1397 at first time, secondly in 1443 and thirdly in 1837. Especially, the third copy resulted from the case that the Portrait was torn by Won dae-ik(元大益) lived in Youngheong. This case was are distinguished from the Portrait imitated by royal family when it was old or needed to imitate it by the royal family. In 1837, the period of in-law government power(勢道政治), Won dae-ik(元大益) was arrested around the Gingeon the next day of the incident. He was sent to Hanyang(漢陽) and sentence was executed immediately without pursuing the question. About three months later, Seo kyong-bo(徐耕輔), the ruler of a Hamkyung province, impeached the six local officials in the province for misappropriation(贓汚罪) in December 1837. In light of this, the case for the damage to the portrait was one of the Jeonpae-jakbyon(殿牌作變) which meaned the damage to the wodden plate that symbolized the King in Gaeksa(客舍) or the ancestral tablet in Seowon(書院) and reflected the will of the people in the latter part of Joseon Dynasty. Given this fact, the damaged case of the Portrait was one that used King Taejo's authority to reflect the will of the people: there are two sides to the Portrait. A torn Portrait of Joonwonjeon was sent to Hanyang, mounted and imitated. It took 50days to be enshrined in Joonwonjeon, and this was long about 20days as compared with the previous copy in 1688, 1735 and so on. At that time, the Portrait was imitated generally not from the first room of Youngheejeon(永禧殿), but from Joonwonjeon, because the Portrait of Joonwonjeon was Dosabon(圖寫本) which was drawn when king Taejo lived. So Joseon government made assurance doubly sure in process of the imitating the Portrait.
