Wir freuen uns sehr Ihnen den Vortrag von Herrn Dr. Martin Gehlmann (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) mit dem Titel „Consolidating the Ritual Landscape of Late Chosŏn Society: The Sarye p’yŏllam 四禮便覽 (The Manual of the Four Rites)“ am Donnerstag, den 20.4.2023 ab 18 Uhr im Simon-Bolivar-Saal (Potsdamer Straße 33, 10785 Berlin) anzukündigen.
Sarye p’yŏllam (四禮便覽) is a four-volume Korean ritual manual compiled by scholar-official Yi Chae 李縡 (1680–1746) in 1746. The manual is one of the most elaborate attempts to create a practical handbook of the family rituals that defined both life and death in the Confucian society of the late Chosŏn dynasty. It offers both theoretical background and practical advice on the ceremonies that accompanied the four most important events in individual and family life: coming-of-age, marriage, funeral rites and ancestor worship. Given the utmost importance of these events, the manual not only provides detailed information on every step of the respective ceremonies, but also on the proper forms of ritual clothes, ritual utensils, sacrificial food, and the hierarchical arrangement of participants. The manuscript of the manual was prepared by Yi Chae until his death in 1746, after which it was collated, corrected, and already put to use by his disciple Pak Sŏngwŏn 朴聖源 (1697–1767). Later, Yi Chae’s grandson Yi Ch’ae 李采 (1745–1820) continued to prepare the manuscript and the first woodblock prints were produced in 1844. The Sarye p’yŏllam became the most widely used compact handbook for the four rituals in the diverse and ever-changing ritual landscape of the late Chosŏn society.
