The study is based on the system and content, compilation consciousness of Soonjonggukgangrok(Composition of King Soonjong's Funeral Process), which chronicles the funeral process of King Soonjong, the last king of the Joseon Dynasty.
There are surprisingly many data that record of King Soonjong's Funeral. There are Soonjonggukgangrok(Composition of King Soonjong's Funeral Process, 순종국장록), a photo album to commemorate the funeral of King Soonjong(순종국장기념사진첩), The King's funeral photo album(어장의사진첩), Naejon(Inner palace) Diary(내전일기), The history of Changdeokgung Palace, History of King Yi of Changdeokgung Palace(창덕궁이왕실기), The King Soonjong's historical record(순종실기), The funeral video of King Sunjong(순종황제 인산습의), Yi Dynasty Palace secretary(이왕궁비사), The vicinity of Naksunjae(낙선재 주변) and so on. Of these, Soonjonggukgangrok is the largest and most detailed.
This book is a written and photographic record of the state funeral of the King Soonjong(Lee chuck, 1874~1926, reign 1907~1910), the 27th king of Joseon and the last emperor of the Korean Empire. As Japanese rule over the Korean Peninsula, the King Soonjong was demoted from emperor to king, and he was confined to Changdeokgung Palace. And then, the King Soonjong was died on April 25, 1926. Despite the fact that it took place during the Japanese colonial period, the state funeral of the King Soonjong followed the funeral form of the state funeral of King Jeongjo, and the state funeral process was recorded in writing and photographed.
The book consists largely of a table of contents, photographic materials, and text. The picture starts with the portrait of King Taejo and Gojong, and there are photos of royal figures and related photos of the state funeral of the King Soonjong in the book. The text introduces King Soonjong's poems and the achievements of previous kings, and describes the Sunjong era in more detail. Since then, it includes the characteristics of King Soonjong, his character reviews and his funeral diary, the mourning of each newspaper company, the people of the nation and overseas Koreans. The full text of various treaty documents, such as the surrounding situation, the Korea-Japan Agreement, which was particularly confusing during the reign of King Soonjong, the royal tomb transfer record of Empress of Soonmyeong, the Queen of Soonjong. And there are also little-known images of obedience, such as health and exercise, hobbies, filial piety and excellent memory.
The narrative of this book is that it conveys the facts as they are. At that time, the publishing house was 'Joseonparkmunsa in Gyeongseong Newspaper.' and the newspaper was run by a Japanese. But The political situation of the time and the state funeral process were recorded in detail by date. It also includes regional mourning moods. In addition, it described without omission that the 6.10 6.10 Independence Movement took place in time for King Sunjong's funeral to strengthen its commitment to independence. This seems to be intended to convey the situation of the times as it was from a more objective standpoint.
This book covered all the data, including the political and social situations of the time, has been published up to the fourth edition. This is likely to have served as a new viewing point for the general public and a medium for strengthening national pride and independence as the Royal Funeral Culture and the state funeral of King Soonjon.
This book contains the situation in which King Soonjong lived, life of King Soonjong, hidden anecdotes, and photographic materials to give you a complete look at the vivid reality of the time. In particular, not only the division of work for preparation and progress of the state of funeral, but also the responsibilities, staff, and participants are collectively organized. As such, 『Soonjonggukgangrok』 is a comprehensive report on Soonjong's funeral, and it is an important material that is presented in three-dimensional vivid. Therefore, I believe that the data value such as Uigwe is sufficient.
