고려 궁궐내 景靈殿의 구조와 운용

Abstract

Gyeongryeongjeon, together with Taemyo, is the symbolic architecture of the Goreyo Dynasty. It enshrines portraits of King Taejo and direct lineally ancestors consisting of 5 rooms and was considered significantly in 『Goryeosa』Yeji as great shrine together with Taemyo and the royal tomb. When a king was enthroned, the king visited Gyeongryeongjeon and reported its enthronement and sometimes important incidents in the nation and royal family were used to be reported. It includes a dispatch a general to the warfare, an installation of queen, a celebration of first son of a king, an installation of a prince, a ceremony of title conferment to a prince, and a matrimonial celebration of a prince. As such, state and royal affairs were held at Gyeongryeongjeon, which enhanced its status more than that of Taemyo. In several records such as 『Goryeosa』, it was recorded in detail compared with other architectures. It was because many royal ceremonies were taken place to approve authenticity and the king himself executed special celebrations such as New Years ceremony, Dano, Chuseok and September 9thceremony. It consists of 3 buildings being its spatial axis surrounded as a form of corridor. Jipheejeon and Gyeongryeongjeon look to be deployed back and forth, and Jipheejeon seems to be the 1st preparation place for the ceremony at Gyeongryeongjeon by the King. The building left to Jipheejeon and Gyeongryeongjeon is not known of its name and use, but is conjectured to keep goods and equipments for the ceremony. In the record, Gyeongryeongjeon had only two stairs, but it seems actually three stairs in east, west and center. Accordingly, while a king entered from the eastern stair through 2ndgate(leftgate) and to Taemyo room for executing ceremony. And then, in turn, he took ceremonies in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th rooms and left to the eastern stairs through the 2nd gate again.
