상투에 관한 고찰

Abstract

It was a symbol of conventional Confucianism culture to be representative too that was a head form of the choson Dynasty period our country men, and conventional head was a head form to be general of our country men from the ancient times. The topknot is the men's hair style of ancient chosun countries. In the ancient Chinese literature, Sagi, the topknot is written as 'tae-gyeol'. In hanshu(漢書), huhanshu(後漢書), Samkukgee(三國志), and Jinshu(晉書) it is also written as 'chu-gyeol', 'quae-gyeol', 'quaedoonogae' and 'quadoonogae'. When the words are looked up in the dictionary we find that 'chu-gyeol'means a written as 'tae'. therefore, 'chu-gyeol', 'chu-gae' and 'tae-gyeol' all have the same meaning. 'Quaedoo' and 'quadoo' have the same meaning as 'gaey'. Thus 'quaedoonogaey' and 'quadoonogaey' mean to show the topknot openly without wearing a hat. As shown above, the 'chu-gyeol' is used to describe the authentic mean's hair style of the Chosun Dynasty, as different from the men's hair style of the Chinese Han Dynasty. While there are difference in the words to describe the two hair style:'chu-gyeol', 'quadoo', 'quaedoonogaey' and 'quadoonogaey' are all used to mean the topknot hair style.
