The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between social change and ritual change and to reveal the differences between Confucian funeral rites and modern rituals based on that relationship. In addition, we attempted to examine the process of change in rituals over time in connection with changes in institutions. The periodization of funeral rites was analyzed by dividing them into the pre-modern 'Confucian funeral rites', the 'modern funeral rites' during the Japanese colonial period, and the 'modern funeral rites' based on ritual capital with the implementation of the Healthy Family Rituals Standards in 1999. In addition, the understanding of the rites of the times must be understood through the process of moving from pre-modern to modern funeral rites and modern funeral rites, escaping the logical contradiction of succession of tradition through division of time. This study is meaningful in considering that Koreans' perception of death continues to reflect the times from the perspective of change and continuation of rituals.

This study historically examined nine representative community-related elements such as Hyangyak, Doore, Pumassi, Dongje, Gwallye, Wedding, Funeral, Ancestral Rites, Saemaul Undong, etc. in our society. This study aimed to create a better Korean society by revealing the relationship between well-aging and well-dying. This study investigated and analyzed 45 recent papers published between 2016 and 2021. As a result of the analysis, out of 45 cases, 22 cases are connected to the Joseon Dynasty, and 15 cases are related to modern society. When divided into life and death, 6 out of 9 items were bound to life, and 3 items encompassed life and death. And based on the relationship between well-aging and well-dying, it was specified as Type A-D. In conclusion, this study allows our society to achieve social integration and share the interests of the community through the principle of reciprocity and solidarity. This study can contribute from the perspective of convergence to becoming a true community that can share the interests of the community.
