『관혼례강의』에 나타난 조선 후기 왕자 관례식 고증 연구

Abstract

『Gwanhonryegangui(冠婚禮講義)』, which is stored in Gyujanggak(奎章閣) and Jangseogak(藏書閣) is a syllabus that has been used for the lecture against the officials who performed official Jesa(祭祀, Korean traditional ancestral rites) events at Seoul in 1938. 『Gwanhonryegangui』 recorded the procedures and attire required for the coming-of-age ceremonies[冠禮] and wedding ceremonies[嘉禮] of the Royal Court of Joseon Dynasty. In the case of the events related to the Prince, the layout of the convention hall, which cannot be found in previous records, is written in 『Gwanhonryegangui』. The royal rituals regarding the Prince of the Joseon Dynasty were not researched actively compared to the rituals related to the Crown Prince due to the lack of data. The coming-of-age ceremony was the first ceremony for a prince while living in the palace. The coming-of-age ceremony in Confucian style had three stages, Choga(初加), Jaega(再加), and Samga(三加), respectively. For each of these stages, which represented adulthood, the Prince wore a different costume comprised of Gwan(冠) and an attire that befits the Gwan. This research aims to identify and organize the costume of the participants who participated in the Prince's coming-of-age ceremony and reproduce the actual scene of the ceremony by using the records and drawings left in the 「 Prince's coming-of-age ceremony Hall」 chapter of 『Gwanhonryegangui』. The research has referred to the drawing 「Sugyodo(受敎圖)」 which is stored at the National Palace Museum of Korea during the process, and the costumes have been analyzed and reproduced by referring to other written records. Based on these data and research, we used Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to visualize the procedures of the coming-of-age ceremonies to improve our understanding of the events performed during the Joseon Era. Moreover, by providing an actual drawing of the ceremony, the results of this research can be presented to modern people, who are mostly unfamiliar with traditional rituals, to raise their interest in our history and valuable cultural heritage.
