광복 이후 경기 남부 마을 조직의 현황과 운영에 대한 시론―조직 명칭과 의례 조직의 몇몇 사례를 중심으로―

Abstract

In this study, the current status and distribution of village organizations in the southern region of Gyeonggi Province, and the operating methods and changes of ritual organizations were examined. First, there are various names in the funeral organization, but in terms of name, Yeonban-gye appears predominantly, and Sangpo-gye, Sangjo-gye, Sachon-gye, and Chinmog-gye also appear. In terms of regional distribution of the names of listed funeral organizations, there is a regional variation rather than uniform distribution throughout the southern part of Gyeonggi Province. Next, there weren’t many cases where there was a separate organization for performing village rites. This generally means that Daedong-gye or Leejoong-gye, the village management organizations, are both preparing and conducting village rites. However, if there was a separate organization for performing village rites, it seems necessary to have a certain system in order to purchase the sacrificial cattle and distribute the meat evenly. For this, it can be seen that in many cases, separate ceremonial organizations such as Chiseong-gye or Sanje-gye were formed, and were operated with document books and regulations. On the other hand, village organizations generally have the function of increasing funds, whether it is a ritual organization or an operating organization. Leejoong-gye and Daedong-gye of the southern villages of Gyeonggi Province also played a role in determining the overall operation of the village, but they also raised village funds through activities to increase funds. Therefore, it can be seen that Leejoong-gye and Daedong-gye both play a role as a village management organization and Sigli-gye. Lastly, we looked at examples of the operation and change of ritual organizations in villages in southern Gyeonggi Province. At first, it started as an organization with a special purpose, such as Song-gye, but there were cases where it gradually changed to a ritual organization. In addition, when the funeral organization was expanded and reorganized to Daedong-gye for the entire village, it was found that mutual aid, such as funeral, played a central role.
