Abstract
Siyeon-wi, makcha, socha, pyeoncha, daecha were used as a temporary space for the guest of honor when the main guests of the royal ceremony were the king, the queen dowager, and the queen. Although Daecha was divided into the Makcha formation in the case of a royal banquet, weddings were prepared inside the royal palace. This was characterized by the fact that a royal banquet ceremony was usually held for only a day, and after the time of King Sunjo, weddings became evening parties that were held overnight and extended into the next day; therefore, the Daecha space was moved to the indoor space of the palace. Socha was a temporary ceremonial space for the crown prince and his sons. In the weddings of the late Joseon Dynasty, if the guest of honor was the queen dowager, the ceremonial space for the king and the crown prince was called Socha. Socha was characterized by being subdivided into a temporary membrane structure for royal banquets as well as Naejinyeon feasts. The deviation in Pyeoncha was arranged in the form of a membrane structure for banquets, and for Naeinyeon feasts, the banquet was elongated to embody the characteristics of subdivision within the royal palace. Daecha and Pyeoncha used a temporary membrane structure outdoors for banquets, while weddings were settled inside the royal palace. Makcha was most frequently featured in ceremonies during the Joseon Dynasty and arranged for many types of royal ceremonies. Socha was arranged outside the royal palace where the ceremony was held, while the king's seat was moved to the front, and the Socha layout was moved to the front garden of the palace. The change in the classification of weecha according to the guest of honor revealed that the politics of Confucianism and the ideology of filial piety were deeply entrenched in royal ceremonies.
