Joseon, a Li(禮)-centered Confucian state, held court banquets to promote the crown stability and social integration, and Uigwe is the official record that was described on the special ceremonies in detail. The purpose of this study is to understand the aspects of court banquets held in the late Joseon Dynasty through Uigwe compiled during the reign of King Sunjo and Heonjong; and to consider how people understood and utilized the architectural space of a royal palace at that time. The era of King Sunjo and Heonjong that is selected as the temporal scope of this study is a very important period. Because a new system of court banquets was set up at that time through holding a set of various events within one space under the same purpose and also the flexibility of palace space was tested and verified at the same time. The system and procedures of court banquets were complicated, and so it is necessary to examine how the existing court architecture was related to elements such as temporary structures, participants, and the like, within fixed ritual and spatial norms. Hence, we can understand the palatial space as ceremonial place in detail by analysis of the diverse components of court banquets and the process of holding them.
