This paper was written to research the characteristic data of Kukjo oryetongpyeon which remains the only book in Ehwa Womans University Library.
Choson’s elite tried to perform national rituals perfectly to show off thatChos?n was the civilized country. Especially King Youngjo and King Jeongjoimproved the national rituals and made many ritual books like Kukjo sok-oryeui,Kukjo sok-oryeuibo, Kukjo sangrye bopyun, Chunkwan-ji, Kukjo orye tongpyeon,Chunkwan tonggo etc. Kukjo orye tongpyeon compiled during King Jeongjo’sreign is the ritual book which united every ritual data before then and becamethe basis of Chunkwan tonggo.
Because Kukjo orye tongpyeon was finished in 1788 by Yu Eui-yang, we canknow easily the newly made rituals after 1757 in which Kukjo sangrye bopyeonwas published. Also we can get a view of the whole national rituals which madefrom 15th century until 18th century in Choson dynasty. In this paper, Iintroduced rituals connection with the eldest son of the Crown Price,Chingyeong and Chinjam, Kyeongmokung shrine and Hyunryungwon tomb. Wecan see well King Youngjo and King Jeongjo’s efforts to improve the nationalrituals in these rituals.
Now the hand-written Kukjo orye tongpyeon was kept separately in EhwaWomans University Library, Seoul National University Kyujanggak Institute, theAcademy of Korean Studies Jangseogak. I propose to unite all the book locatedin three places and reproduce a perfect version.
