유교식 제례의 종교적 특성과 <풍운뢰우악장> 연구

Abstract

Akjang means Jega, songs of sacrificial rites, which are songs dedicated to gods used in established national rites such as Hwangu(圜丘:worshiping heaven), Sajik(社稷:guardian deities of the state), Jongmyo(宗廟:the royal ancestors' shrine). The title of Akjang literature(the Aesthetics of a movement) includes the comprehensive poems and songs of Akjang, songs dedicated to gods in sacrificial rites of a nation, and Gasa(歌詞), glorifying songs used at feasts performed at royal court. There can be different wider or narrower extensions of Akjang literature according to different researchers, but Akjang basically has the characteristic function of ritual songs dedicated to gods. Akjang as ritual songs is used in some specific rites of Confucian religious rites. Therefore the intrinsic features of Akjang can be revealed when discussed along with the specific rites. The necessity has been raised that the essential natures of Akjang, especially of ritual Akjang, must be researched within the sacrificial rites, but no definitive studies in this regard were made yet. This study tries to define the religious characteristics of Sapungunroewooeui (祀風雲雷雨儀) whose objects are pungunroewoo, sancheon(mountains and streams), and seonghwang(local gods) out of many sacrificial rites registered as Gillye(auspicious rites) in the national codes of five rites of the Chosun dynasty, and their relationships with Akjang literature. Therefore, this study through the record of The Gookjo-oryeui discusses the venues of sacrificial rites, the subject gods of the rites, and the procedure of the rites, and also defines the characteristics as ritual Akjang as well as the literary form and the implementing method of the themes of <Pungwunroewoo Akjang> used in those rites.
