다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There were two kinds of ceremonies in enthronement in Silla dynasty. The first ceremony was performed when the preceding king died, therefore the new king got sovereign power of king. The second ceremony was performed after the first ceremony. Performing the second ceremony, the new king got justness of king s authority, sacredness derived from the origin of kingship. The former is an secularized enthronement ceremony in which the new king gets political and administrative power. The latter is a religious enthronement ceremony which assures king's power.
We don't know well how the first ceremony was performed. But it is obvious that a ceremony in which the new king succeeded to the throne was performed soon after the preceding king's death. At this ceremony, the new king received regalia. And then, the new king appointed new officials, promulgated amnesty and tax cut, and gave the people official ranks. As state systems were improved, this ceremony was improved. and it was influenced by ceremonies of China.
An enthronement ceremony was concluded with performing the rite in 'Sijomyo'(the shrine for the founder of a dynasty) or 'Sin-gung'(the divine palace). This rite assured the people of the new king s conduct of state affairs in the religious aspect. In theses rites, a state-founding myth was reproduced. The new king was covered with the thing symbolized a red egg descended from heaven, and he took off it, and then he was reborn as sacred king.
An enthronement ceremony in Silla dynasty was a kind of passage rite. In social respect, the ceremony meant recovering king's power and social system which were collapsed by the preceding kina's death. As for a new king himself, the ceremony meant that he took off his secular state, then gained sacredness, then was reborn as a genuine sovereign. In enthronement ceremony in Silla dynasty, the new king got married to a woman who was a symbol of fertility. This performance reflected an ancient idea. Ancient man believed that a new king's enthronement and sacred marriage had relation with establishment of the new state order and the securing of fertility. We can interpret that enthronement ceremony in Silla dynasty is not only agricultural bur also ancestral. Because these ceremonies are just alike in representing an idea of death and rebirth.
