Abstract

This study constitutes the second segment, providing an introduction to the present condition and contents of the Wangsil Balgi(王室 발기[件記], list of royal items) archived at the National Palace Museum of Korea. In this second part, an examination has been conducted on the royal item lists following the reign of Emperor Sunjong (r. 1907-1910) and 20 undated lists that were not covered in the first installment. Amongst the royal item lists written during and after Emperor Sunjong’s reign, a list labelled as Gogung2419 records the food served at a tea ceremony conducted for Emperor Gojong and Empress Sunjong in 1919. In the lists pertaining to 1919, a noticeable absence is found specically in the entries of the month of October, and Gogung2419 corresponds to that missing section. Therefore, the presence of Gogung2419 is expected to significantly contribute to the recognition of the value of the Wangsil Balgi related to the tea ceremony for Emperor Gojong and Empress Myeongseong, as it serves as a complete and integral source of information. Gungjung 346 and Gungjung 347 are Boksik Balgi(服飾件記,list of attire) and Gimyoeng Balgi (器皿件記, a list of tableware) made in 1932 for the rst birthday banquet for Yi Gu (1931-2005), the second son of Imperial Prince Yeong (1897-1970). As one of the most recently documented royal item lists, it serves as tangible evidence that such records were still being produced until 1932. Additionally, the cover, made of vivid red silk adorned with lotus ower patterns, is exceptionally ornate. Among the extant royal records, there is a notable absence of examples featuring such elaborate craftsmanship, making it particularly noteworthy. Gogung2227-2 and Gogung2227-3 have been known as “date unknown”. rough this study, it was found that Gogung2227-2 records the food served at Empress Myeongseong's tea ceremony on July 27, 1896, and has the same content as Jangseogak1381. In addition, it was confirmed that Gogung2227-2 is the final version that reflected all the revisions of Jangseogak1381. Gogung2227-3 is also presumed to be closely related to Jangseogak1366, which was issued for the Empress Myeongseong's tea ceremony on August 19, 1905. The National Palace Museum of Korea houses a total of thirty two pieces of Wangsil Balgi. Of all the pieces, twenty eight are in Korean and four in Chinese. e number of Korean versions is overwhelmingly large. In terms of its production timing, the largest number of Wangsil Balgi were created during the reign of King (Emperor) Gojong, with a total of 9. Among the Wangsil Balgi stored in the Jangseogak Archive of the Academy of Korean Studies, there are also more Korean versions than Chinese ones, and the most numerous are those written during the reign of King (Emperor) Gojong. Currently, both the earliest of the Wangsil Balgi, written in 1732 during the reign of King Yeongjo (r. 1724-1776) and the latest issued in 1932, are housed in the National Palace Museum of Korea. Four out of thirty-two Wangsil Balgi stored in the National Palace Museum of Korea are Gimyeong Balgi. Considering that there are only forty Gimyeong Balgi out of nine hundred fifty Wangsil Balgi in the Jangseokgak Archive’s collection, the four Gimyeong Balgi in the NPMK’s collection are of important value for conducting overall research on Gimyeong Balgi.
