조선 왕실의 아기태실비에 대한 양식과 편년 재검토

Abstract

I presented in 2006 the study on the style and chronology of Baby Taesil Monuments ［First monuments erected in Taesils］found in Taesil［a facility of burying Placenta and umbilical cord］ created by the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty. However, it did not accurately discuss the chronology of Bisu［top of monument］ and Bidae［pedestal of monument］ of the monuments and the previous style and chronology had to be revised as additional monuments have been found. This study revises and supplements the previous study and attempts to address the individual style and chronology of Bisu and Bidae to reconfigure the style and chronology of baby monuments. Also, the monuments’ composition was analyzed to observe the transition in the epigraph to supplement the style and chronology of baby monuments. As a result, the composition of baby monuments was largely classified into 5 steps(12 steps in detail). The style and chronology of Bisu were classified into 5 steps(10 steps in detail) while those of Bidae were classified into 3 steps(6 steps in detail) and the overall style of baby monuments was classified into 5 steps(10 steps in detail). The composition of epitaph, which was newly discussed this time, provides additional information on the time of creation of the monument, or Taesil, based on the form of composition even if it is not legible due to wearing. The individual style and chronology of Bisu and Bidae would provide significant evidence on the time of creation even if only a part of the monument remains due to damage.
