조선시대 도자(陶磁) 명기(明器) 기종 연구-왕실 능원묘(陵園墓) 출토품을 중심으로

Abstract

This study examines changes by period in books that record national ceremonies, with a particular focus on policy changes regarding funerary ceramic vessels, which are the most frequently excavated items among burial goods. The national ritual was specifically implemented by the royal family and exhibits distinct changing patterns compared to that of scholar-officials, known as garye, the Family Rites of Zhu Xi. The records of funerary ceramic vessels in the book on national rituals detail regulations regarding their material, size, quantity, shape, content, and volume. This study synthesizes and organizes the distinct qualities of each funerary ceramic vessels by type and suggests practical classification criteria that help differentiate each type of vessel. To identify the original execution of royal rituals, this study used excavated funerary ceramic vessels from royal tombs for the classification of types. This sort of comprehensive classification system is crucial fundamental data for understanding the real-life implementation of funerary rituals and their shifting aspects. Some of the previously ambiguous names in vessel types can be reconsidered and given proper terminology that fits the rules for state rites by utilizing this data and applying the criteria to evaluate authentic burial vessels. Therefore, this study proposes a viable solution to previous issues such as inaccuracies in naming excavated items and the arbitrary assignment of multiple names to a single vessel type. In doing so, the suggested in-depth criteria in this research prove to be highly effective.
