A study on Kwan Mo(III) - focusing on Tongchun Kwan, Wonyoo Kwan, Yang Kwan -

This study mainly concerns about Tongchun Kwan, Wonyoo Kwan and Yang Kwan, the headgear of the ancient royal officers. All the Tongchun Kwan, Wonyoo Kwan and Yang Kwan were the formal headgear with the special attachment of vertical lines which were called Yang, to the front side of Kwan representing the user's hierarchical status. Tongchun Kwan and Wonyoo Kwan had been originated in the Jin dynasty and imported by the early Ming dynasty as the King's or the Emperor's headgear, and Yang Kwan had been worn by the all government officials. In Koryo dynasty, King Kong-Min had worn one, for the first time, which had been presented by Ming dynasty. In Chosun dynasty, it was found that King Se-Jong had been presented, but no other formal documents were left of later years. The Emperor, the Kings the princes and their children's custom of wearing the special headgear had been regulated like Pee Byun of China. King Yeu-Chin's Wonyoo Kwan and King Ko-Jong and King Soon-Jong's Tongchun Kwan had a lot of similarity to the Pee Byun of Ming dynasty. Yang Kwan had been originated from Jinhyun Kwan of Han dynasty and evolved into different shape and style representing the different social hierarchy. In Dang dynasty when they began to be called Yang Kwan the numbers of yang had increased and varied depending on their social position. In the early Chosun dynasty, the prince had worn Yoongyang Kwan and then the custom of wearing Chillyang Wooyoo Kwan had been regulated similarly following the royal clothing custom of Ming dynasty.
