| Abstract |
This study is on the architectural meaning of amendment of royal rituals under the reign of King Youngjo and Jungjo. The 18th century of Joseon dynasty was the transitional period, so they had to sustain the Confucian norm and also to accept the changes toward new period. Though the strict discipline of Confucian rule represented by "Gukjo-Oreyi(國朝五禮儀)" had been made matched with architectural space of Gyeongbokgung(景福宮) palace of the early period of dynasty, there had got more and more disorder and conflicted with actual condition of space. King Youngjo and Jungjo wished to recover and revise them with publishing "Gukjo-Sok-Oreyi(國朝續五禮儀)", "Chunguan-Tong'go(春官 通考)" and so on. Goyi(考異), the appendix of "Sok-Oreyi" is the guide for spatial replacement. But it could not solve the spatial differences between palaces actually because of several mistakes. On the other side, "Jung'a- Johoijido(正衙朝會之圖)" and "Chunguan-Tong'go" were more effective for performing rituals with practical understanding of architectural space. Especially, the stone marks' setting for official rank in the yard of Injeong-jeon(仁政殿) pavilion was suitable proposal according to the changes of space and conceptual cognition about official ranks. Finally, the ritual amending process of these Kings were in the same stream of transition, but also they were on the separated level of spatial understanding. |
