Abstract

In this paper I discuses the ways in which the religious culture of the Joseon dynasty through 'Munheuimyo(文禧廟) shrine Ritual' of Joseon Royal Family, which were performed as Joseon dynasty national rituals(國家儀禮) by analyzing its formation and character.

Originally, he could not be made the object of public ritual for he was not parents of a king. There was no precedent for it. Therefore, according to the principle of differentiation between proper rituals(正祀) and improper rituals(淫 祀) It would have to be classified as improper rituals(淫祀). But it was officially adopted as part of the national rite without any controversy. This ritual was preserved even after the passing of the kings who had originally performed it and led to the inception of Sejamyo ritual(世子廟儀禮). To fully understand the background and motivation for why it could be formed without any controversy, this paper is put on the two elements.
