漢城時代 百濟의 國家祭祀

A Study on the Rites of Baekje(百濟) in the age of Hansung(漢城)

This thesis attempted to construct the ritual systems of Baekje(百濟) in the age of Hansung(漢城). Basing on the system of rites in Silla(新羅), We composed the system of rites and its contents. Even so, it doesn't mean the rites of Baekje had a identical fonnation with Silla's. it is mearly a question of its gradation. In the age of Hansung, Baekje had 3-4 degrees of rites. The rites of highest(大祀) is consisted of the god of the heaven and the god of the earth, the contribution originator-Dongmyong(東明), which, if these were not in the rites of highest, maybe were in the rites of special (特祀) or of Extra(別祀) degree. By the way, probably, Baekje thought all the more of the former. The rites of middle(中祀) and low(小祀) degrees, divided into two according to the importance, are consisted of mountains and rivers. In the middle degrees, or the highest degree, Three Mount(三山), namely Bua-ak(負兒岳)·Hoyng-ak(橫岳)·Soongsan(崇山) were a stage of the birth myth of Kingdom, so regarded as divine scene, and a strategic point. Besides Three Mount, the other mountains and some spotes, as hunting and military sites, were into the rule book of rites(祀典). Extending territory, Baekje probably organized and adjusted these ritual sites according to changes of their importance. And such organizing rites guaranteed her rightfullness of domination over conqerded territory. But it is important that how the ritual system was operated. Considering that Chungmak-dong(竹幕洞) ritual site gives informations, it convinces us the state brings under its control all ritual sites into the rule book of rites and some ritual sites might have been symbols of an ideal governance of incomplete conquest region.
