A Study on the Jeonhaeng-ut-chima Excavated from Cheongsong Shim"s Tomb
This study examines the literature, relic status, and characteristics of the Jeonhaeng-ut-chima and analyzes the Jeonhaeng-ut-chima excavated from Cheongsong Shim"s tomb. The results are as follows. First, the literature related to the Jeonhaeng-ut-chima is for the first time seen in the 『Hyeonhwagaryeogamuigwe』. In 『Gukjo-style Oryeui Boseorye』, the queen"s seuran was a gold brocade dragon, and the seuran of the royal crown princess and crown prince"s son"s wife was a gold brocade phoenix. The 『Sangbangjeongrye』records the Jinyeon-si of the great queen dowager’s and queen"s wedding ceremony attire and the crown princess"s wedding attire. It also records the bride-to-be for a king or prince"s wedding attire. The 『Sunjong-Sunjongbi-Garyeogamuigwe』also records of the royal queen’s wedding attire. Second, the remaining relics are two relics of Queen Yeongchin held at the National Palace Museum. There is one jikgeum-seuran-dan with patterns such as su(壽), nam(男), ganoderma licidum, and peony in the oholomundan, and one seuran-dan with patterns such as su(壽), bok(福), bottle gourd, and pomegranate. Third, the Jeonhaeng-ut-chima excavated from Cheongsong Shim"s tomb has a gold brocade band with patterns such as phoenix, lotus, chrysanthemum, and clouds attached to the end of the waistband and strings. Fourth, the difference between the two earlier relics and Cheongsong Shim"s relics is the fabric and the seuran-dan pattern, the length difference between the left and right hem and the middle hem, and the string length. Cheongsong Shim"s relics feature the seuran-dan as a phoenix motif. The length difference between the two sides of the skirt and the middle is 41cm. It is much different than the length difference between the earlier 11.5cm relic and the 16cm relic. The string is also 94.5cm, which is shorter than the 151cm string relic and the 153cm relic. This relic is the first excavated relic to be discovered. It is of great value because it shows the shape of the earlier Jeonhaeng-ut-chima with a phoenix pattern seuran, which could only be found in the literature.
