조선후기 宣武祠에 대한 인식 변화

Abstract

Seonmusa was built as a shrine to honor Ming’s Xing jie, who fought in the Imjin War. During the construction of the shrine, Joseon was forced to cooperate despite its reluctance due to its relationship with the Ming army. However, when Ring Hou, whose ancestors had relatively positive relations with Joseon, was placed in the shrine, the Joseon government voluntarily promoted it. This behavior extended to the King Gwanghae. As Seonmusa is a shrine of live men, Ring Hou's image had to be enshrined, Ring Hou's image was finally saved and offered to Seonmusa Temple, and a new monument was built to commemorate this. During the great changes of the Byeongja Horan and the Ming-Qing transition, Seonmusa ceased to receive much national attention. By the time of Sukjong, Seonmusa had rapidly strengthened its status as a symbol of state ideology. King Sukjong sought to resolve the ideological predicament he found himself in under Emperor Kangxi's appeal by reinforcing the ideology of respectability, and in doing so, he continued to utilize incense offerings to Seonmusa. As a result, Seonmusa was recognized as a place that symbolizes respectability along with Daebodan, and the incense was maintained. King Yeongjo further emphasized the status of Seonmusa based on the principle of respect. The facilities of Seonmusa were maintained by moving the plaques of the war dead to be worshipped separately, and the monument to the good health of the ancestors was moved. In addition, Yeongjo formalized the royal courtesy at Seonmusa, solidifying the status of Seonmusa as a space that symbolizes the righteousness of respect. However, in the modern era, the ideology of Jonju(尊周), which flavored the late Joseon Dynasty, was perceived as a retrograde ideology, and the status of Seonmusa declined sharply, and the building and its tablets fell into disrepair and are not preserved today.
