Abstract

This study examines the style properties and the real condition of the data in the old documentary records, 'the wedding catalogs of goods' and researches concretely the culture of 'folk wedding ceremony' using the old documentary records. As the wedding catalogs of goods are the whole catalog of goods given or taken in traditional wedding. The old documentary records of the wedding catalogs of goods is the data to be able to empirically examine the Korean traditional wedding custom and Korean people's life conditions. Nevertheless, an empirical study about folk traditional wedding by surveying old documentary records is very rare. This study try to contribute to expand the interest domain in academy fields and promote empirical understanding on folk traditional wedding ceremony, by surveying the mass data in the old documentary records. First, I survey what kinds of the wedding catalogs of goods is and find what are in existence. For the purpose of this study, I classified traditional wedding catalog of goods by 5 types considering wedding ceremony procedure, the properties of contents and the form of the data. The catalog of goods of wedding outfits, catalog of what bride took when coming in newly the husband's home, catalog of wedding presents of silk, record of congratulatory money or goods to aid in a marriage and catalog wedding outfits & what bride took when coming in newly the husband's house are 5 type of wedding catalogs of goods. I try to survey these kinds of catalogs of goods, clarify the useful data and then arise the interest in the data of the old documentary records, 'the wedding catalogs of goods'Second, I survey the type and the scale of wedding expenses and wedding jewelry on the focus of the catalogs of what bride took when coming in newly the husband's home that is in existence most a lot. As a result of researching 48 data, the catalog of goods classified as two kinds of forms according to the contents and form. (1) data which were recorded together the furnishings that bride would use in the husband's home and the jewelry that bride's parent give to the parents ― in ― law. (2) data which were recorded separately as people taking the goods. Most catalogs of goods are (1). As (2) were written after 1950's, (1) is more traditional form. The type and scale of marriage expenses and jewelry in the records of goods are very various from 20 types goods and 200 types goods. This difference cause in financial means of bride's parents and periods. Through these records, bride's essential goods are furnishes, clothes, fabric, sewing, cosmetic, jewelry and so on, and a bedpan and a basin are often appeared. On the ground of the name of goods, monetary unit or price in the documentary I can guess the period. Comparing the data in 1950's and before 1950's, the range of the relatives to whom goods were prepared, broadened and the mix aspects on cash and goods appeared as later generations. Above these catalogs of goods, catalogs of wedding outfits, catalog of wedding presents of silk and the records of congratulatory money or goods to aid in a marriage are valuable data for surveying the wedding ceremony custom and culture, in spite of being in existence more rare. If more data are collected, I will be able to survey Korean traditional wedding culture more concretely. So continuous interests are needed.
