조선전기 因山時 국왕의 山陵 隨駕에 대한 고찰

Abstract

This study puts up the following points that summarize its findings. First, 『Gukjo Oryeeui』 provides that in a state funeral of Joseon, the king should follow the deceased to the tomb on the day of that funeral like when the family of the noble class holds a funeral, the chief mourner follows the dead to the tomb. But in fact, there's few or no actual case that the provision was observed. Thus, funeral rites were different between the royal court and noble families. Second, accompanying the deceased by the king to the tomb at the time of the state funeral was implemented in the early period of the country's foundation under a notion that the move coincides with filial piety principles based on the natural law and humanity. But as the above provision of 『Gukjo Oryeeui』 became ineffective over time, no following the dead by the king to the tomb was established as a ritual. Third, instead of the following, the king performed some alternative rituals such as sending off the deceased from the court with respect on the day of the funeral[祗送], receiving the ancestral tablet with respect after the funeral completion[祗迎] and reciting a funeral dirge while viewing the tomb far away from the court at the time of burying the dead[下玄宮時 望哭5].
