조선초기 국가의례 정비와 『가례(家禮)』

Abstract

In this paper, we examined the aspect of 『family rituals』 reflected in the reorganization of national rites in the early Joseon Dynasty. The reorganization of the ritual system in the early Joseon Dynasty was carried out in two ways through convergence in the method of establishing 『family rituals』 for the private sector and compiling the national liturgical book for national rituals. However, the two were not completely differentiated, and 『family rituals』 were used more widely and became an important source of evidence for establishment national rites. In other words, the argument based on 『family rituals』 was accepted in the chapter of discussion about national rites, and such matters were also reflected in Uiju (A book that expounds and records the ritual procedures) of 「Five Rituals(五禮)」 of 『The Annals of Sejong(世宗實錄)』 and 『National Five Rituals(國朝五禮儀)』. In addition, 『family rituals』 became the basis for the mourning clothes system during national mourning, and 「Diagrams of Family Rituals(家禮圖)」 became the basis the explanatory diagrams of mourning clothes included in 「Five Rituals」 of 『The Annals of Sejong』, and 『National Five Rituals』. As shown above, 『family rituals』 functioned as a major source in the reorganization of national rites beyond the realm of folk rites. This shows the national effort to conform to the principle of etiquette by not only valuing 『family rituals』 in the early Joseon Dynasty but also referring to a wider range of materials in the establishment of national rites.
