AB - Love in Noble Society of the Shilla and Dailiness of Hyang-ga Shin, Jae-hong This paper is an investigation of the dailiness of Hyang-ga through the new document of the Shilla’s history, Hwarangsegi. The noble classes’ intensive passion for love is well documented in Hwarangsegi. The noblest classes were worshiped as gods by people. The love acts in noble society were encouraged for reasons of maintenance and succession of the divinity. From perspective of social hierarchy, upper classes were serviced sexually by lower classes. The society’s network was built on sex services. Everyone in the Dynasty admired beautiful women and men, so beauty held the highest value. This indulgence in sex could not break the society’s order. Because noble classes held fidelity to the divinity of the royalty and idea of great love which was combined with social morals. Hyang-ga could be explained by conventions and consciousness of love in that age. Songsadaham-ga and Cheongjo-ga have a direct relationship with the love conventions of a noble society. Though Seodong-yo, Heonhwa-ga, and Cheoyong-ga were authored by those who did not belong to a noble society, they nevertheless show the same love conventions. In addition to love conventions, the distinctiveness of daily life of Shilla is reflected in Hyang-ga works.
