한국 편액의 형식과 테두리목 장식의 조형적 특징 — 조선시대 궁중편액을 중심으로 —

Abstract

This paper checked the basic form of the Korean tablet and the formative characteristics appeared on the decoration. In the form of the tablet, while Korea shows a simplicity mainly with the square shaped tablet, in the case of China, in addition to the square shaped tablet, various types of tablets appeared. In particular, in the case of the vertical tablet, while it is not easy to find out the special selective motivation besides the reflection of geomancy and Yin Yang thought in Korea, China shows the more diverse motivation for choice such as choice as high rank formality and choice in terms of convenience. In the corner decoration of the peripheral board surrounding the tablet, most of them were not carved in the case of Korea, and it was made in a very simple form in the carved case, whereas the case of the complicated sculptural decoration appears in China and Japan. Even in the width of the peripheral board, it appears that China and Japan’s cases are much wider compared to the case of Korea. There may be various reasons for the difference in size, however, first of all, it seems to be closely related to the height and the complexity of the sculpture carved on the corner. Also, in the coloring decoration of the surface of the peripheral board, in the case of Korea, it was mainly used to arrange pattern repeatedly in a row, and in the case of carving a sculpture on the surface, the simplicity and rhythmicity etc. were comparatively taken as the major features by carving it briefly, whereas China shows the case that the space is filled with the complex decoration of sculptures, and Japan also shows the cases that the surface space of the board was filled with a fancy design, so it is pointed out that the decoration concept pursued in the case of Korea was different from the cases of China and Japan. The contents so far newly recognizes that while Korea accepted the China’s tablet culture and made it a starting point, the aesthetic structure of the tablet is being extended into a new direction through change and correspondence in Korea.
