正祖代 景慕宮의 왕실공예품 연구

Research on the royal craft-works used for ritual services at the Gyeongmogung during the rule of King Jeongjo - compaerd to the ornaments, utensils, and vessels at the Jongmyo -

The Joseon Dynasty aimed to practice the Confucian principles as national policies and rule the state according to the Confucian ideals. The first and foremost basic Confucian principle was a national religious service[吉禮], which was performed by the incumbent king for his predecessor and which was to widely demonstrate that the royal authority had been inherited securely and rightfully. In the Confucian dynasty, only kings and queens could be enshrined in the royal shrine[宗廟] and be given national religious sacrifices there[王陵]. It is why the kings who was born of a concubine made every effort to posthumously enhance the position of his biological parents to that of legitimate kings or queens so that they might be enshrined in the royal shrine. In case that was impossible, the kings vehemently attempted to construct a separate shrine[別廟] or tomb[園] almost equal to the royal shrine and splendidly offer religious sacrifices to their parents laid in rest there. The Gyeongmogung[景慕宮] was a shrine constructed by King Jeongjo in commemoration of his father who was victimized in the vortex of political power games, and the 'Yeongwoowon[永祐園]' is a tomb for Crown Prince Sado[思悼世子] his father. Jeongjo prepared the Gyeongmogung which are the procedures for worshipping at the two said places and he also written a book called the ‘Collection of the Ceremonies at the Gyeongmogung[景慕宮儀軌]’ which are the records related to the places. The book comprises pictures and detailed descriptions about the layout of the buildings and the rigging and figures kept in the buildings, and the dishes used for sacrificial rites. This the current thesis has compared the modes of the craft-works used at the Gyeongmogung with those used at the royal ancestral shrine and comprehensively investigated into the relations between the craft-works at the Admiration Palace with the existent relics displayed in Museom of National Palace. The findings include that the craft-works used at the Gyeongmogung are the visual symbols to show the legitimacy of the enthronement of King Jeongjo and the endeavors made by Jeongjo to have his father get his revenge and that the craft-works are the essence of the cultures of the royal family in the latter term of the Joseon Dynasty which is called the period of the renaissance of the Korean traditional cultures.
