儲慶宮의 성립과 의례적 변화 양상

Abstract

Currently, Jeokyung-Gung is one of the Seven-gungs and is located near the Blue House. Seven-gung has something in common as a shrine for the concubine who gave birth to the king, but the history and character of each Gung are very different. In particular, Inbin’s shrine was promoted to Jeokyung-Gung, and was included in the national memorial service after about 100 years of history from period of Injo to Yeongjo. The process of establishing this Jeogyeonggung shows the status and ritual changes of King’s real mother, which were linked to the political upheaval in the late Joseon Dynasty. Inbin, who was the concubine of King Seonjo, became King’s real mother of King Wonjong. The fourth son, Uichang-gun, and his heirs succeeded to Inbin's ancestral rites but they were changed frequently because of the political upheaval in the King Suk-jong period. So Inbin’s shrine was also relocated to various parts of Seoul. King Yeongjo was interested in Inbin’s shrine, which is the standard for the ritual of King’s real mother and promoted the reconstruction of Inbin’s shrine and the hereditary succession of the status of heirs. However, when Yeocheon-gun, the heir, died due to his involvement in treason, King Yeongjo promoted Inbin’s shrine to Jeokyung-Gung instead of selecting heir and included it in the national memorial service. King Yeongjo tried to secure the ceremonial legitimacy of the The System of Gung and Won by expanding it of inbin. Unlike those organized by the heir, Jeokyung-Gung's rituals were defined as the king's duty. Therefore, the king, the crown prince, and officials participated, and the ritual space was expanded. On the other hand, King Jeongjo emphasized the principle of differentiating the increasing ceremonial status of the Gung while reorganizing The System of Gung and Won. In the Korean Empire, emperor titles and terms were used in ritual of Jeokyung-Gung. During the reign of King Sunjong, Jeokyung-Gung included in Uksang-Gung, and during the Japanese colonial period, Yi Wangjik was in charge of the ritual of the Seven-gungs, including jeokyung-Gung, according to political needs.
