ABSTRACT

When it comes to Gilrye(吉禮), it encompasses national rituals and ceremonies in the form of sacrifice rituals among the five rituals(五禮). The study of national rituals in Joseon commenced later than the other fields of history. After establishing the foundation for understanding national rituals in the 1990s, detailed research progressed during the 2000s. Researchers nowadays can attempt to understand the field of rituals, which would not have been possible if it had not been for the hard work of previous researchers. However, despite the accumulation of remarkable research results, academia still regards ritual research as part of the political history or a cultural history, and it is necessary to reflect on the fact that it has not been recognized as a unique field of “The History of Rituals”. This study was organized to determine where future research should be directed to by looking back on the progress of accumulated research on the Joseon Dynasty’s royal ritual until now.
