Jeonuigam(典醫監) is one of the Big Three of medical government office through the Joseon dynasty era. But Jeonuigam literature is extremely rare. This paper is to analyze 362 cadets of "Jeonham-saengdoan(前銜生徒案)" by writer of Jeonuigam origin. Jeonuigam filled cadet on a three-year cycle because the national examination for medical officials is conducted on same cycle. Most cadets came from a few meritorious family of medical career officials. Ratio of ten major family stand at 34.91 percent. 373 of the 392 cadets are confirmed as family member of medical bureaucrat. They have a very closed society. Wancheon(完薦) and cadet system strengthen the monopholy power of a few family. The analysis of study confirmed that in the 19th century Joseon(朝鮮) dynasty had monopolized the medical technicians.

The National Foundation Day of Korea (개천절, 開天節) is currently celebrated on October 3 in Gregorian calendar. We review the history of dating the National Foundation Day of Korea and make a suggestion that it be celebrated on October 3 in the lunar calendar. We present numerous historical records on heaven-worship rites supporting the date October 3 in the lunar calendar. It is pointed out that October 3 in the solar calendar has been adopted in 1949 by the National Assembly with the thought that the lunar calendar is inferior and behind the times. The thought originates from misunderstanding on the value of the lunar calendar and from the ignorance of importance of history and tradition. Since there are now many national holidays that follow the lunar calendar, the logic of the National Assembly in 1949 also makes no sense. We emphasize that the lunar calendar should be followed for the National Foundation Day of Korea for its historical and symbolic characteristics restoration. We also investigate the year of the foundation of the first country of Korea, Dangun Joseon. It is found that even though the majority of the literature before late 15th century recorded the beginning year of Dangun Joseon dynasty to be equal to that of Liao Dynasty (堯), it was accidentally changed to the 25th year of Liao Dynasty in 1484 through a misinterpretation of the previous records. We claim that the beginning year of Dangun Joseon should be set to that of Liao Dynasty as recorded in the original literature in the earlier days. According to the two main opinions accepted by Korea, the beginning year of Liao Dynasty was 2357 B.C. or 2333 B.C., which correspond to the year of Gap-Jin (the 41st year of the sexagenary cycle) or Mu-Jin (the 4th year of the sexagenary cycle), respectively.

Though the po as the basic apparel of the Joseon Dynasty period was various in kind as it was worn by people of different times, places, duties and statuses. it was unified as Juui with apparel reform at the late Joseon Dynasty. Though people of today have good feelings about hanbok, they rarely wear it because of its uncomfortable wearing sensation and the fastidious care after its use. However, efforts should be made to develop designs and to improve its use convenience through the study on the Korean traditional clothing now that overseas examples exist in which other countries' traditional clothing was successfully popularized. In this regard, targeting the children in their preschool ages when their socialization arises along with their physical development that have great influence on their adulthood, this study aims to suggest a design of overcoats that combines the various characteristics of the po in Joseon Dynasty period with those of the modern children's overcoats so that they might have positive attitudes towards Korean traditional clothes, and to contribute to its popularization. The study applied the characteristics of po to the design of children's overcoats so that children and their parents could choose to wear them with little repulsion. In this way, it attempted to resolve the inconveniences of the Korean traditional clothes and make the general public have positive perception about them. It is expected that the continuous development of the design that combines the Korean traditional clothes and children's clothes will contribute to the popularization of the Korean traditional clothes.

Bong-amsa Temple is a special temple in the custody of Jogye sect, a branch of Buddhism in Korea. Due to limited public access to this temple, its Geungnakjeon(paradise shrine) has been little known to outside. But it is known that the Geungnakjeon has been not yet explored from academic standpoints in terms of its historical establishment as well as applications, and it would be two-storied wooden pagoda or the like. In order to examine its historical establishment, this study investigated historical records related to Bong-amsa Temple and its intrinsic architectural style. As a result, it was estimated that the building was established around the transitional period ranging from the late Koryo dynasty to the early Joseon dynasty. And it was found that the Geungnakjeon is not the two-storied wooden pagoda, but the unique building including an incidental component called Chayanggan(遮陽間; a sort of stepped penthouse) in Korea. In order to examine its possible applications, this study compared this building with other Buddhist funeral articles in forms similar thereto, such as Buddhist pagoda(僧塔), sarira container(舍利器) and Gamnodo(甘露圖) which depicts Byeoknyeon Daeban(碧蓮臺畔; a palanquin carrying malignant spirit). Then, this study estimated its possible applications on the basis of relevant historical literatures. As a result, it was found that this building was used as Wondang(願堂; a sort of Buddhist prayer house) to wish royal family's going to Nirvana after death, and it was not Confucian-style architecture popularized in the era of Joseon dynasty, but Buddhist-style architecture built widely from the era of Koryo dynasty to the early Joseon dynasty.

Mugiyeondang(舞沂蓮塘) is the garden that the provincial noble family in Yeongnam(嶺南) has constructed since the late Joseon period. Mugiyeondang is well known as a typical case of traditional garden in Joseon period. But it is also an exceptional case because of its informal layout that infers gradual space transition. This study aims to establish the historical story of the garden beyond the superficial description about existing spatial status and literature materials. Mugiyeondang had been constructed by seven generations of the family during two hundred years, and there were significant events at every transition points. The figure and name of elements reflects each historical change of the family. Mugiyeondang is an important case to notice that a garden was not just a subsidiary space for mere leisure life of the gentry of Joseon period, But it was an important for some families as their representative and symbolic space.

This study aims to analyze the traditional embroidery in Korea, China and Japan based on Pierre Bourdieu's cultural theory, habitus and field. We conducted literature and case studies examining the late Joseon Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, and Edo Period, respectively. Based on previous studies, we reviewed three fields: social systems, goods and economy, and environmental and regional. We also explored art, culture, and national tastes as habitus. We then examined each country's embroidery practices through these lenses, and the practice of habitus is as follows. We determined that traditional Korean court embroidery in the late Joseon Dynasty was characterized as controlled elegance, while private embroidery reflected earnest simplicity. During the Qing Dynasty, traditional Chinese court embroidery depicted sumptuous power, while private embroidery portrayed harmonious splendor. Finally, traditional Japanese embroidery in the Edo period reflected symbolic natural beauty and exaggerated comic beauty. As a result, Korea, China, and Japan have had a relatively close geographical location and a similar climate environment zone, and since ancient times, many cultures have been exchanged with each other. However, it seems that the characteristics of traditional embroidery have developed slightly differently due to the practice of habitus, which was caused by of the conspiracy of field and habitus of the three countries. The significance of this study is expected to explain the relationship between the birth and extinction of costumes and embroidery by establishing a systematic and objective framework for aesthetics research.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Western perspective on the food and food culture of Modern Times in Korea (from the late of Joseon Dynasty until Japanese colonial era). Literature and written records were analyzed. This analysis revealed that the heart of the mill in this period involved rice, and that a common beverage was sungnyung made from boiled scorched rice (in contrast to tea as the common beverage in Japan or China). The most important subsidiary food in Joseon was vegetables, especially Kimchi. Westerners viewed Kimchi as a smell symbolizing Joseon and their meal times. Even though both Kimchi and cheese are fermented food, just like Westerners could not stand the smell of Kimchi, Koreans viewed the smell of cheese unpleasant. Westerners viewed German sauerkraut as Western food counterpart to Kimchi, as sauerkraut is also fermented food made of cabbage. Regarding the eating of dog meat in Joseon, most Westerners viewed it as brutal; however some interpreted it as a difference in food culture. In addition, the eating of raw fish and its intestines felt crude to Westerners. The biggest difference between Joseon's food and Western food was that Joseon had no dairy products and no sugar. The most highly preferred fruit for Westerners was the persimmon, and ginseng was already widely recognized and recorded as a medicinal plant. Joseon's desserts were also favorably evaluated. In contrast, the excessive gluttony, heavy drinking, and unsanitary conditions in Joseon were problems pointed out in many records.

Korea is one of the country with the world's oldest meteorological observation records. Starting with first meteorological record of fog in Goguryeo in the year of 34 BC, Korea had left a great deal of quantitative observation records, from the Three Kingdoms Period to Goryeo to Joseon. During the Joseon Dynasty, with a great attention by kings, efforts were particularly made to measure rainfall in a systematic and scientific manner. In the 23rd year of King Sejong (1441), the world's first rain gauge called "Chugugi" was invented; in the following year (1442), a nationwide rainfall observation network was established. The King Sejong distributed Chugugi to 350 observation stations throughout the state, even to small towns and villages, for measuring and recording rainfall. The rainfall observation using Chugugi, initiated by King Sejong, had been in place for about 150 years, but halted during national disturbances such as Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. Since then, the observation had been forgotten for a long time until the rainfall observation by Chugugi was resumed in the 48th year of King Yeongjo (1770). King Yeongjo adopted most of the existing observation system established by King Sejong, including the size of Chugugi and observation rules. He, however, significantly reduced the number of Chugugi observation stations to 14, and commanded the 352 local authorities such as Bu, Gun, Hyeon to conduct "Wootaek", a method of measuring how far the moisture had absorbed into the soil when it rains. Later on, six more Chugugi stations were established. If the number of stations of Chugugi and Wootaek are combined together, the total number of rainfall observation station in the late period of Joseon Dynasty was 372. The rainfall observation with Chugugi during the Joseon Dynasty is of significance and excellence in three aspects: 1) the standard size of Chugugi was so scientifically designed that it is as great as today's modern rain gauge; 2) rainfall was precisely measured, even with unit of Bun (2 mm); and 3) the observation network was distributed on a nationwide basis.

본고는 <한림별곡(翰林別曲)>이 조선시대에 유행한 사실을 초점으로 하여 조선시대 <한림별곡>의 유행 배경으로서 고려시대 <한림별곡>의 창작상황을 도출하고, 이를 토대로 조선시대 유행한 <한림별곡>의 구체적인 양상을 살펴보는 데 목적을 두었다. 2장에서는 조선시대 <한림별곡>의 유행 배경으로서 <한림별곡>의 창작 상황을 도출하였다. 그 결과, <한림별곡>은 관계중심의 '좌주문생연'이 아니라 소속 집단이 강조된 '한림연'에서 창작되었다고 할 수 있었다. 그런 까닭에, 조선 초기 좌주문생관계가 무너지고 '긍호방탕(矜豪放蕩)'하다는 평가를 받은 <한림별곡>이 '한림연'을 계승한 예문관의 '면신연'을 통해서 조선후기까지 유행할 수 있었던 것이다. 3장에서는 2장을 토대로 조선시대 <한림별곡>의 유행 양상을 살펴보았다. 본고는 기존 연구 성과를 수용하되, 2장과의 유기적인 맥락 하에서 살펴보았다. 즉, 조선시대 <한림별곡>의 유행은 두 가지 양상을 띠는데, 하나는 군주나 국가적 문제와 관련하여 예문관(藝文館), 사관(四館)의 공식적 자리에서 유행하였고, 다른 하나는 <한림별곡>이 예문관의 면신연과 결합하자 전자보다 사적인 성격을 띤 공간에서 가창되었다는 것이다. 예문관의 면신연과 결합한 <한림별곡>은 조선 전기 허참례 면신례의 성행과 비례하여 유행하였고, 면신연을 금지하는 구체적인 절목이 만들어진 중종 36년부터는 점점 위축된 것으로 추정된다. 이후 <한림별곡>은 예문관(藝文館)이나 사관(四館)에서의 가창은 약화되고 일반 사대부나 지방 관리의 주연(酒筵) 공간, 기방(妓房) 등을 중심으로 유행한 것으로 추정된다. 조선후기 <한림별곡>의 유행은 김만중의 시를 통해서 볼 때 17세기 후반까지 확인된다.

조선시대 직물 문화에 있어, 반포의 역사는 단편적이며 공백이 많다. 문헌 기록이 적은 것이 주요한 이유지만, 현재 그 실체가 명확히 확인되지 않은 점도 크다. 반포는 무명의 한 종류이지만, 현재 전승되고 있는 전통 직물에서는 확인되지 않는다. 반포는 얼룩이나 반점을 의미하는 반(斑)자와 직물을 의미하는 포(布)자가 결합한 단어이다. 백색 담론의 경계에서 반포는 연구 주제로서 주목받지 못하였다. 본 연구는 반포를 통해 조선시대 직물 문화의 일부를 복원하는 시도이다. 반포는 단순히 조선시대에 국한되지 않고, 동아시아의 직물 문화와 교류 발전을 살펴볼 수 있는 중요한 소재이다. 본 연구는 크게 세 부분으로 나누어 진행하였다. 첫째, 조선시대 반포의 기록과 의미를 파악하였다. 반포의 기록은 조선 초기 세조, 성종 때 보이며, 반포의 제작과 실제 사용이 확인된다. 반포는 20세기 초까지 유지되었으나 현재는 단절되었다. 반포는 오색으로 면실을 물들여 짜는 사염 직조물로 고대 동남아시아에서 출현하였다. 동아시아에서는 반포와 유사한 형식으로 호, 섬, 침 등의 직물이 있다. 특히 반포와 호의 상관관계는 조선시대 반포를 이해하는 중요한 고리이다. 둘째, 중국·일본의 문헌 기록과 사례를 종합적으로 분석해 반포의 의미 변화와 전개를 조명하였다. 반포의 등장과 발전은 동아시아에 면화가 도입되는 시기와 맞물려 움직인다. 동아시아에서 면화가 본격적으로 도입되고 생산되는 시기인 송말원초 시기에 반포의 의미는 다변화한다. 중국에서는 명대를 기점으로 반포의 명칭이 화포, 기자포, 기자화포 등으로 바뀐다. 일본은 면의 도입이 늦은 만큼 변화된 의미가 수용되었고 발전하였다. 일본에서는 반포라는 명칭이 보이지 않지만, 같은 형식의 류조 직물이 확인된다. 이 류조는 호, 화포와 같은 개념으로 후대에는 호로 통합된다. 호, 화포, 반포 등과 같은 명칭은 나라마다 쓰임이 다를 뿐 동아시아에서 사염 직조물이라는 형식은 공유되었다. 셋째, 동아시아에서 공유한 반포의 의미를 바탕으로 조선시대 반포의 형식을 분류하였다. 조선시대 반포의 형식은 격자와 줄무늬로 나눌 수 있다. 조선시대 반포의 형식은 최근까지 전승되었지만 단절되었다. 앞으로 본 연구가 반포의 복원과 전승에 보탬이 되길 바란다.
