주자가례의 수용과 17세기 혼례의 양상 - 친영례를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper tried to examine the process of the settlement of Chinyoung by Jujagarai which is new marriage model in the 17th century, focusing on how Chinyoung practiced in the families of Yangban at that time. The materials which I relied on in this paper are the books of yehak which were written by the theorists of ye, the writings on marriage included in the collected works of the 17th century, haenjangs which were kind of biographies of Yangban, jemun, eptaphs inscribed on tombs, and narratives of the 17th century which reflect the everyday life of those days. While earlier studies have tended to focus on the sillok(實錄) and other collections and have tried to show the general policies on the national basis, this study attempted to present the real aspects of marriages practiced in the families of Yangban, analysing documents and materials which show concrete and everyday life of those days. In addition, this study tried to examine the aspects of marriages represented in the narratives in order to see how people of those days thought of Chinyoung by Jujagarai. From this study, I found that Chinyoung as the new marriage model was variously accepted among people according to the structures of their houses and their economic conditions, and that Chinyoung was not fully established in the 17th century. But in general, Chinyoung came to spread in the 17th century and resulted in the subordination of women to the house of their husbands. Married women were seen to absolutely belong to the house of their husbands, losing their positions in the house of their fathers. The aspects of marriages represented in the novels such as Sa Si Nam Jung Ki and So Hyun Sung Rok not only reflect these changes but also express the problem of sexuality which was suppressed by Jujagarai.
