AB - The Dukje(纛祭) is a rite for duk(纛), a flag symbolizing military authority. In Chosŏn, the dukje was held regularly in spring and fall, and also at the army was dispatched. However, flags symbolizing military authority and the ceremonies for them existed not only in Chosŏn but also in many countries in eastern Eurasia.
The Chinese Dok(纛) was originally a decoration for the emperor's chariot. On the other hand, nomadic peoples made tuγ as a symbol of national identity when they built an empire. By granting it to their subordinate chieftains and granting them authority, they were able to organize the empire. During the Sui and Tang periods, China tried to control them by borrowing the methods of the nomadic empires, which granted officials posts and flags to tribal chieftains.
Through this, the symbolic meaning of duk or tuγ was also shared in China.
Along with this, the origin of the dukje was traced back to Yellow Emperor or Chiyou, and the duk came to symbolize general military affairs. Eventually, during the Song Dynasty, the dukje was connected to the Maje(禡祭, rite of Ma), an ancient military ritual.
And in the Ming Dynasty, the dukje as known as the maje. The duk that were introduced to Chosŏn can be indicators and results of the exchange between the China and nomadic states.
