Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the disappearing process of Gaek-sa in the end of Choson Dynasty. Because Jeon-pae??which is representing Loyal authority was enshrined in the Gaek-sa and at which a local governor performed a ceremony for the king. After the King's Flight to Russian Legation, Jeon-pae was revised to Gual-pae which symbolizes the emperor.??And Gaek-sa was repaired and maintained during the Great Han Empire Period. But Gaek-sa was occupied by Japanese troops during the Russo-Japanese War especially in the north-western provinces of Korea. And Gaek-sa was converted into a primary school or local court of law in the Protectorate Period.??As this convert, the used parts of Gaek-sa were suppose to be only the wings which were detached from Main Hall. The enshrinement of Gual-pae was stopped after November, 1909.??The portrait of emperor which was enshrined in school and local government office had taken the place of Gual-pae since 1907.?? So the disappear of Gual-pae and Gaek-sa is tolerated. Nevertheless Gual-pae was still enshrined at Geak-sa until Consolidation of Korea and Japanese.??With this, the Gaek-sa which symbolize the king of Chosun Dynasty came to disappear. |
