朝鮮中期 傳統婚禮의 理論的 展開

Abstract

Different from the aspect of the ritual study in the early part of Joseon(朝鮮) dynasty when the study on national rites was mainstream as a national school, in the middle of Joseon Dynasty, the whole four kinds of proprieties of 『Confucian Ritualism(朱子家禮)』 were examined in depth and in many different ways by many scholars of ritual study, starting from Song Ik-pil (宋翼弼). The discussion on wedding ceremony also followed it. Each school argued different ideas about wedding as many as the differences between Giho(畿湖) ritual study and Yeongnam(嶺南) ritual study. The discussion on wedding by Giho school including Song Ik-pil and Kim Jang-saeng (金長生) generally had the tendency to faithfully follow 「Wedding Ceremony (昏禮)」 of 『Confucian Ritualism(朱子家禮)』 with it as the basic category. Moreover, they also displayed patriarchal, man-centered way of thinking and the emphasis on dutiful service to a bridegroom's parents to a bride. They also had the characteristic of focusing on historical investigation through the book on rituals and other books, which is assessed as a big progress of ritual study. The discussion on wedding ceremony by Yeongnam school was relatively diverse. Jeong Gu (鄭逑) and Jang Hyun-gwang (張顯光) expressed their wish for academic variety regarding the tendency of ritual study completely depending on 『Confucian Ritualism(朱子家禮)』 . Jeong Gu introduced the whole contents of Lee Cheon(伊川)'s 「Wedding Ceremony (昏禮)」 that reflects the formality of the six kinds of manners in 「Scholars' Wedding (士昏禮)」 almost as it is. Jang Hyun-gwang followed 『Confucian Ritualism(朱子家禮)』 as a basic frame, but in part replaced it with the rituals of 「Scholars' Wedding (士昏禮)」. In particular, he applied the ceremony of ‘banchinyeong(半親迎)’ reflecting the customary ritual to perform a wedding ceremony to a bride's house, and therefore, encouraged the step that ‘a bridegroom sees a bride's parents (婿見婦之父母)', the last procedure in 『Confucian Ritualism(朱子家禮)』 , to be carried out in the morning after the day of a wedding feast for the bride and groom (同牢宴) for convenience sake. Yun Hyu (尹鑴), who regarded 『Ju-rye(周禮: a book on the ritual system of Zhōu dynasty)』 as most important among the three kinds of the book of the ancient ritual system, followed not 「Scholars' Wedding (士昏禮)」 but 『Confucian Ritualism(朱子家禮)』 almost as it is in his 「Wedding Ceremony (婚禮)」. It also corresponds to that fact that he thoroughly excluded 『Eui-rye(儀禮: a book on seventeen ceremonial occasions of Chinese leadership class)』.
