제사 설화의 전승의식과 가족공동체의 문화적 의미

Abstract

The legend of the rite is passed down around the ritual for ancestors. One type of ritual tale that is handed down is ‘a story that the spirit causes due to lack of sincerity.’ The folktale of the rite, which is handed down in the oral tale, tells little about the formalities of the rite, and mostly about the sincerity or mindset of the rite. The meaning of devotion, which is regarded as important in the folklore of ancestral rites, is mainly to require the preparation of food for ancestral rites. nyone can agree that they should pay close attention when holding a memorial service. However, behind the preceptual theme of preparation of sacrificial food with due care is limited to women who are daughters-in-law. For women who had to pay close attention, the ritual of sacrificial rites had an excessive sense of responsibility and burden, and the meaning of devotion had to be rigid. In the folktale of the rite, sincerity is taken as the meaning of labor by women. However, the tales of ancestral rites are still handed down today, and some are handed down differently depending on the changing times. According to the folktale of the current rite, women's perception of the meaning of labor continues. However, problems that were limited to women appear to change in two directions. First of all, women raised the issue of the need for ancestral rites, leading to marital conflict, which changed their view from women to marital problems. And the folktale of the rite changes into a conflict between generations. The folktales criticizes men who are unable to participate in the ritual due to their busy lives or forget the date of the rite. Men increasingly don't value ancestral rites and women fill their vacancies. Women prepare food for ancestral rites that men cannot participate in and take the initiative in holding rituals. The solidarity between generations of ancestral rites, which were either the eldest or male-centered, weakened and the role of women expanded. As the view of generational conflict changes, men become less interested, and women perform ancestral rites with previous responsibilities. In this era of weakening intergenerational ties, the tales of ancestral rites seem unlikely to be handed down anymore, but they are still changing in line with the changing times. It is meaningful in that it shows how the culture of paternal ancestral rites is changing in the present, and it is meaningful in that it shows how the center of modern families are changing.
