초록

The ceremony officially held to appoint Joseon king(冊封儀禮) in early Joseon dynasty has three characteristics. First, this is the ceremony took place through the process of receiving edict(詔書). Even if there was no edict issued by the Ming dynasty, the ceremony still had been carried out based on Receiving Edict ceremony(迎詔儀禮) which corresponds to the highest position. Second, the king wore casual attire, far from formal attire in the ceremony of officially appointing Joseon king. Later, he changed his clothes to ‘myeonbok’ after he was being officially appointed from the Ming emperor that he will be the king of the Joseon dynasty. This event shows that not formally appointed king who were unable to wear formal attire have become a Joseon king wearing clothes of the highest level. Third, the ceremony of officially appointing Joseon king has reflected each individually special situations of the time when the ceremony was held. Due to fixed manual, it was very hard to accommodate various variables. For this reasons, new procedures were prepared, thus paving the way for more organized and enhanced institution.
