Abstract

Uiambyeolje is a ritual to commemorate the soul of Nongae, who passed away during the Imjin War. It is a Pungryu ritual where a prostitute participates as a canon and is accompanied by bad dance, and is characterized as the first Confucian ritual for women in the pre-modern society. It is also significant that the local festivals have been well preserved so that a large number of people participate in the Chokseongru and Namgang areas of Jinju at the time of annual rituals. However, until now, little has been done on the formation and transition of Uiambyulje and Nongaeje in general. This article highlights the reality of Nongaeje for about 300 years after the Imjin War and before the Japanese colonial period in 1910. Briefly summarized as follows. First, Uigisa, the shrine of Nongae, was first established in 1832 (Soonjo 32). Until now, however, it has been understood that the medicinal temple was founded in 1740 (Yongjo 16). Second, it was Gyo-jun Lee, a Commander of Gyeongsang-Udo Army in 1864 (Gojong 1) that first implemented Uiambyulje. Until now, however, it has been understood that the Uiambyeolje was first implemented by Regional Officer Hyeon-seok Jeong in 1868 (Gojong 5). Third, Nongaeje began as a private riverbyeon ritual after the fall of Jinjuseong Fortress in 1593, and then it became a regular national rite in the form of a spring and autumn festival with the establishment of a medicinal rite in the early 19th century. In June 1864 (Gojong 1), Uiambyulje began to be held before Hamseongje. Fourth, there are three types of Nongaeje, which were held before the Japanese imprisonment period: Uigije, which is held from Uigisa to spring and fall, Uiambyulje, where prostitutes spend at Chokseokru in early June, and Hamseongje organized by Jinmucheong on June 29. In particular, Uiam Byeolje was a place to pledge the loyalty of the local people together by recalling the pain of the day Jinjuseong fell in Chokseokru and remembering the loyalty of Nongae. In this respect, Uiam Byeolje has the characteristics of Byeolje, which is matched with the Spring Festival, but it has a strong meaning of Byeolje, which is performed before Hamseongje in June. In the end, the Nongaeje Festival until the Japanese colonial period is characterized by a spectator festival that promotes public-private harmony by commemorating Nongae's pure spirit of loyalty. Among them, Uiambyulje served as a key mechanism for stabilizing the township society through the politics of memory, which re-memorizes the loyalty and loyalty of Nongae to local people during the dissolution of feudal society.
