ABSTRACT

This paper is a study of the nature of documents written in Korean by Queen and Queen Mother during the Joseon Dynasty. The changing nature of the character was also studied in relation to the status and authority of the Queen and Queen Mother. The Hangul documents written by the Queen and Queen Mother were wide-ranging Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書). The meaning of this is, ‘write Gyo(敎) in Hangul and giving’. Eonseo(諺書) and Eongyo(諺敎) are like Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) In Joseon, women were not allowed to hold political office. However, Regency was an officially sanctioned political activity. When not playing Regency, Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) was an official document addressed to the government. The content of the Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) was the Succession of Kings, the management of the King's inner quarters(內命婦), and the state of affairs. However, Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) was not a decision-making document. It is the written will of the Queen and the Queen Mother to make a decision. It was political in a limited sense. The Grand Queen also wrote and handed down an Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) When playing Regency. The Grand Queen's status was like that of a king, and she gave orders to Seungji(承旨). Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) were exchanged between the Great Queen and Seungji(承旨). At this time, the Eonmun Gyoseo(諺文敎書) was a political decision by the Grand Queen. And the functionality has changed to formally declaring what you've decided. It is significant that a woman of the royal family wrote documents in Hangul and engaged in political activities.
