李朝 後期 內人生活 硏究 : 實地 蒐集을 主로 하여 = Study of Customs of Court Ladies in the Later Yi dynasty

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

$quot;Nae-in$quot; means the court ladies who served and belonged to the King and King's family. Although their number was not fixed all the time, they were counted about seven or eight hundred and sometimes nearly one thousand in a generation.
The aim of this thesis is study their life based upon testimony gatherd from court ladies who are still alive in our time, as well as court literary works of the later Yi dynasty which described their daily lives, including food, clothes, dwelling, their culture, love affairs (chiefly between the King and themselves), their political power, daily life and rewards.
We cannot explain the entire life of the court ladies in a few words since their lives varied so much according to the position they held, but one thing can be said for all, namely that to serve a certain person they could not change their status, and they were strictly forbidden any form of wedlock. The only chance was that if the King should fall in love with one of them and she gave birth to a prince, she would become nobility. But such good fortune rarely came and their lives were full of loneliness and sadness and they faded away into ashes. It was quite natural for the common class of people to consider it a disaster to send their daughter to the court.
This thesis involves problems concerning all aspects of the lives of the court ladies from the view point of the history of custom. We are also trying to emphasize that the life of the court ladies should not be looked down upon since they had no free choice in the matter of their vocation. If only a few souls were involved in this part of history perhaps it could more easily be passed over, but we can not overlook the evidence of a thousand of women in a generation.
