1882년 왕세자 척의 혼례 관련 왕실음식발기 연구

Abstract

A Study on the Crown Prince Chuck(坧)'s Wedding Ceremony related Palace Cuisine Lists(Eumshik Bal’gi) in 1882 Joo Youngha This paper is a research about the table settings of two steps of “Gantaek” (揀擇, the selection process for royal marriage) and “Gwanrye” (冠禮, Coming-of-Age Ceremony) of the Crown Prince Chuck (坧) in 1882 in the Joseon royal palace “Eumshik Bal’gi” (飮食發記/飮食件記, palace cuisine list). The followings are the result of the research. First, there is a high possibility that the Crown Princess of the Crown Prince Chuck (坧) was already chosen during the period of “Cho Gantaek”(初揀擇, the first selection process for royal marriage). It is because the words appeared on the list of table settings of “Jae Gantaek”(the second selection process for royal marriage) in “Eumshik Bal’gi”; “Agissi jumulsang”(阿只氏晝物床), table for the bride), “Cheojasang yuksang”(處子床六床, tables of six ladies), “Agissi jinjitsang”(阿只氏進支床, dinner table for the bride), “Jinjitsang yuksang”(進支床六床, dinner table for six ladies). Second, the tables served for the candidates of three steps of “Gantaek” were “Jinjitsang”(a dinner table), while the tables for other attendees including the King, were simple “Janchitsang”(a banquet table). Third, it is confirmed that the heroes or heroines got treated best in the events of Joseon royal palace. I found out three research methods for “Eumshik Bal’gi” through this present research. First, it is necessary to study same events together in a group in different versions of “Eumshik Bal’gi”. Second method is selecting same events in “Eui’gwe”(儀軌, ritual protocol manuals specifically created for banquets) or “Deung’rok”(謄錄, Journal of recordings) and researching about them. This method of study has an advantage that reconstruct participants, table settings, and foods which were not mentioned on “Eui’gwe” or “Deung’rok”. The last method is arranging and analyzing the contents of “Eumshik Bal’gi” by year or by eras of kings, regardless of the types of events. Through the research, we can reveal the food types were set during the royal palace events and their alteration tendencies by period. A majority of literatures about Joseon royal court foods, are the repositories of table settings and recipes were actually practiced in the past. Especially, “Eumshik Bal’gi” is the articulated list of table settings and foods by participants. It would be possible to concretely unveil royal and imperial palace foods, during the King Gojong era, Korean empire government period and period of Japanese occupation, if we comprehensively study literatures at The Jangseogak Archives(藏書閣, Old Document Library at the Academy of Korean Studies), Muncheon-gak(文泉閣, Old Document Library at Gyeongsang University), and some private collections.
