조선후기ㆍ대한제국기 선원전 祭需와 祭器의 관계

Abstract

This study reveals the type and composition of ritual food and vessels in Seonwonjeon Hall from the late Joseon Dynasty to the Korean Empire period. It is also a study to identify the mutual relationship between the two to determine the method and meaning of setting up ritual vessels of the Seonwonjeon. Seonwonjeon ritual ceremony is divided into Jakheon ritual and tea ritual. Both rituals were held during the day, and were held in front of the king's portrait in an indoor space, so they were held during the day in consideration of the brightness of the light so that the portrait could be seen. During the royal service, the representative ceremonies that could be held during the day were the Jakheon Ritual and the tea ceremony, so the Seonwonjeon Ritual Ritual was usually held in two types of ceremonies. In addition, Seonwonjeon Hall was regarded as a ritual held in the palace, so it was held in a different manner from the ritual ceremony of other rituals. In this study, this is confirmed through ritual food and ritual vessels of Seonwonjeon. The ritual food of Seonwonjeon is similar to the rituals of Sockje. The difference is that there is no rice, soup, or vegetables on the Jinsoldo of Seonwonjeon, and it is presumed that the ritual of the tombs and the Wonmyo belonging to the ritual was to be distinguished through the ritual food. In addition, depending on the type of ritual, the types of food of ancestral rites had changed. For example, just as the paintings of the seven kings’ birthday celebrations held at the Seonwonjeon Hall in GyeongunPalace were all different, the preparation of the ritual food was flexible compared to other rituals. The ritual food of Seonwonjeon Hall was served with a variety of dishes that were not usually prepared in royal ancestral rituals. These foods are related to the food that the late king ate when he was alive and the food that was prepared during the funeral when the king had been dead, so the ritual at Seonwonjeon Hall was the closest to his daily life. Seonwonjeon ritual vessels were similar to the Sockje's ritual vessels, but it was notable that jade cups for liquor or tea and bowls for rice cakes were used. In addition, silverwares, which were frequently used as royal daily were used in Seonwonjeon Hall. Like ritual food, Seonwonjeon ritual vessels were also closely related to royal usual lifestyle, it demonstrates the characteristics of Seonwonjeon’s ritual.
