๐นAfter the child's 100th day and 1st birthday, the family would throw a celebration for hitting both respective milestones healthily.
๐นWhen males turned 20 years old, a coming-of-age ceremony (gwanrye) was held.
๐นFemales also had a coming-of-age ceremony (gyerye) at the age of fifteen.
๐นAfter having the ceremony, which symbolizes becoming an adult, the next step in life is marriage.
๐นThrough marriage (honrye), a new family is formed.
๐นThe males aspired to obtain a position within the government by passing a state exam, then would support their family, the females would manage the household.
๐นFuneral ceremonies (sangrye), members of the family would grieve by carrying out ancestral rites for the deceased.
๐นThrough this, deceased ancestors are treated as a minor deity, with the family wishing for prosperity and harmony.
๐นDue to changes in ideology, modern day child birth has become important regardless of gender.
๐นWhile the coming-of-age ceremony is reduced and the wedding ceremony relatively became simpler than before, the basic structure and meaning of those ceremonies have not changed.
๐นThe concept of family has been diversified, with males and females no longer sticking to their traditional roles.
๐นThough funerals and rituals have changed with the times, the core methodology of honoring their deceased ancestors and wishing for harmony has remained.
๐ตWedding.
๐นThe bride and groom meet for the first time, exchange bows, share a cup of liquor, and make their wedding vows as a part of the chorye (drinking ceremony), which takes place at the choryecheong (literally, "drinking ceremony hall").

๐นThe table settings for the chorye differed by region, but they generally included red and blue candles, which symbolized the harmony of yin and yang, a pine branch, bamboo, a rooster, a hen, chestnuts, jujubes, and red and black beans.

๐ตSangyea, Bier.
๐นBiers were used for conveying the coffin of the deceased to burial sites.
๐นDepending on the size, it is called a large bier (daeyeo) or small bier (soyeo).
๐นOriginally, carts pulled by oxen, horses, or people would transport the bier to the site.
๐นHowever, being influenced by Jujagarye (Family rites by Zhu Xi), the custom changed to carrying on people's shoulders.
๐นEven the bier's figure resembles the palanquin, but the long-carrying poles on the body characterizes the bier to carry on the shoulders of 12 to 24 pallbearers.
๐นGenerally, villages had a bier for common use, which could be disassembled and reassembled in parts.
๐นIt was commonly stored in a hut a short distance from the village.
๐นThis exhibit is a bier of the Choi clan from Jeonju, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, made in 1856 for the funeral for Choi Pilju (1796-1856).
๐นThe bier features 4 levels. Sculptures of humans, beasts, and the 12 zodiac animals are placed on each level, signifying deities leading the deceased to the afterlife.
๐นFuneral procedures include washing the body of the deceased and dressing it in a burial garment.
๐นTypically, the deceased's ceremonial attire was used, but there were cases where a new garment was made for this purpose.
๐นGarments of the latter type are sewn with undyed fabric, and larger than the usual size.
๐นSome, however, preferred to have them made in more vivid colors because dressing a parent's body in colorful silks was considered a symbol of filial piety.
๐นThere is a saying that a burial outfit prepared in advance will bring long life.
๐นSo, many made shrouds for their parents as they approached their sixtieth birthdays.
๐นThe task was most often done during a leap month in the lunar calendar, with older women invited to help in the sewing process.
๐ตGarment Excavated from the Grave of Byeon Su

๐นAs a result, it is possible to accurately discern the deceased's social status, as well as the time period in which they lived.
๐นFrom the grave of Byeon Su, a total of 30 pieces of clothing have been excavated including various types of garments, accessories, and a hat.
๐นThrough examining these, one can see the characteristics of various types of clothing in the early Joseon Dynasty.

๐นThis robe is from the 16th century during the early Joseon Dynasty, and is styled the same as those described in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty.
๐นGarments of this type were particularly popular among the nobility of the time.
๐ตAncestral Memorial Rites
๐นJesa is holding an ancestral rite for the deceased ancestors.
๐นDuring the Joseon Dynasty, serving ancestors as though they were still alive was considered to be the foremost filial duty.
๐นIn accordance with Confucian ancestral beliefs, family shrines or tabernacles were constructed in the home.
๐นFour generations of ancestors had a place in the shrine, from great-great grandparents to parents.
๐นThe ancestral rites would be performed by the living descendants and held annually on the death day of each ancestor along with holidays, for example, Lunar New Year (seol) and Harvest Festival (chuseok)
๐นNowadays, as people migrate away from Confucianism to other religions and ideologies, the custom of performing ancestral rites and having strong filial bonds with ancestors is changing.
๐นHowever, even though people's Ideologies are changing, the way they honor their ancestors and seek the well-being of their descendants is not very different from the past.
๐ตTable for Ancestral Rites of the Gwon Beol Family, Head Family of the Andong Kwon Clan.
๐นA reconstruction of the table setting during bulcheonwi ancestral rites in the family of Chungjae Gwon Beol(1478-1548), who was the head of the Gwon family in Andong of Gyeongsangbuk-do province.
๐นIn 1591, 43 years after his death, he was enshrined to an immovable ancestral tablet because he was recorded 1st on the record of civil retainers in the book"gwangguk wonjong gongsin".
๐นAlthough all tables prepared for ancestral rites follow the basic principles, each family adds different unique features to the table setting.
๐นIn this case, twelve different kinds of rice cake are used to create multiple layers instead of a regular rice cake. There are also five-colored rice puffs, a local delicacy.
๐ตBulcheonwi Jesa, Rite for Ancestors Honored in Perpetuity
๐นBulcheonwi is for a meritorious official who contributes greatly to the country, excels in scholarly knowledge and virtue, and exhibits honor, integrity, and fidelity to their principles.
๐นRather than their ancestral tablet being moved from the family shrine after four generations, the bulcheonwi ancestral tablet is kept by future descendants and included in family rites forever.
๐นSo, the bulcheonwi rite is an honor for the deceased's family and descendants, and symbolizes the family's status.
To be continued.
Till the next coming entry, inshaAllah. Meanwhile do take care.
