| Abstract |
This study is to examine the characteristic change of Gaek-sa(客舍) over the entire Joseon Dynasty. The examination was performed by analyzing comments on its use, significance, necessity, etc for the existing Gaek-sa's documentary literatures(記文). In the early Joseon, Gaek-sa's functions were to serve government officials despatched from the central government, to realize the reign of kings and to show their dignities. And this can be regarded that the function to serve government officials despatched was very important among its functions, with the view of local governors and townspeople. In post-Imjin War(壬辰倭亂) documentary literatures, the enshrinement of Jeon-pae(殿牌) and the ritual ceremony for King(望闕禮) began to be directly mentioned as Gaek-sa's main function. This implies that Gaek-sa's main function had been changed to these two functions after the Imjin War. The first reason of this change is the experience of Gaek-sa and Jeon-pae's destruction which is representing King's authority. And the more fundamental reason can be found in the significant growth of Sa-rim(士林) and the increased interest in ritual theory(禮學) and its practice over the late 16th |
