초록

The Jingchu Suishiji (Record of Seasonal Festivals in Jingchu) holds foundational status in East Asian folklore studies. This paper investigates its dissemination in Korea through three dimensions: its publication history, the influence on seasonal cultural documentation and contemporary folkloric traces. Through comprehensive collection, analysis, and systematization of materials, this study reveals that the text first appeared in 10th-century writings by Choe Chi-won of Silla. During the early Joseon period, Neo-Confucian scholars strategically cited its provisions to legitimize family rituals, while mid-late Joseon literati repositioned it within folk tradition. Late Joseon scholars transformed it into a model for self-compiled encyclopedic works. Under Japanese colonial rule, the text resurfaced in government ethnographical surveys and modern periodicals, marking its transition into the nascent stage of modern academic research. Since the late 20th century, Korean folklorists and historians have extensively utilized its source-tracing capabilities. The work’s continuous republication through diverse editions across centuries, coupled with preserved traditional festival customs in modern Korean society, serves as tangible evidence of its historical dissemination and underscores its pivotal role as a cultural conduit in Sino-Korean exchanges.
