<긔묘년 조대비 입궐일기>에 나타난 혼례복식 -處子에서 世子嬪이 되기까지-

Abstract

Queen dowager Cho, daughter of Cho Man Young, has become the crown princess by having a ritual with prince HyoMyung, son of King Sunjo, in year 1812. The process of prince hyomyung going through the ritual can be found in many official documents such as Prince Garyedeungrok(王世子嘉禮謄錄)』, Prince Garye dogamuigwe(嘉禮都監儀軌), The annals of the Joseon Dynasty(朝鮮王朝實錄), Seungjeongwon Ilgi(承政院日記), Royal Archives(王室發記). However, as the civillian document <Gimyonyeon Queen Dowager Cho’s Diary of the Royal Court Entry> being found, unknown facts were found and it initiated the movement to perceive the culture of the wedding rite in the royal family in many different perspectives. First, even though there was the king's order not to wear clothes fabricated with better fabric than silk and ramie fabric for women who participate in ceremony, most of them wore luxurious clothes violating the order. However, by wearing the most artless clothes, Gyeon-magi, fabricated with silk throughout the whole ceremony, Queen dowager Cho revealed her family's integrity with her clothes. Second, while Royal Family's clothes are so special that no ordinary people can wear, they are also very hard to know. Therefore, by sending the clothes to those women who surpassed the third ritual, Royal Family acknowledged that they become more closely related to royal family with the clothes. Third, it is already confirmed by the record <list of goods of royal family> that the clothes being used for visiting a secondary palace is made of wonsam. The record also says that, even though gold brocade or gilt is the style of royal family, they have embroided wonsam's big belt in the size of samll ball and made the princess to wear round bag decorated with pearl. However, this should be further researched to know more precise informations. Fourth, After finishing the rite of Dongroi(同牢儀), crown prince took off the ceremonial clothes and wear ordinary clothes. However, for the crown princess, while there exists the record that she took off the Jeok-ui(翟衣), there is no record about what she wears afterwards. Researchers tracked down that crown princess has wear a Red-Jangsam(紅長衫), but this has to be researched further in the future. As it is discussed, <Gimyonyeon Queen Dowager Cho’s Diary of the Royal Court Entry> is an opportunity to understand the unraveled aspects of the royal family’s costume culture and to provide more abundant contents while leaving the necessity for discovering what has been undiscovered. Discovering those private compilation materials will be priceless, as it will fill up the royal family’s unknown culture. Therefore, I expect further research to be continued.
