This study conducted a survey research on the acceptance of proess, building method, and the structure of the L.S.M.B(Lime Soil Mixture Burial) in the tomb institution of Joseon dynasty. Especially, this study attempted to understand the alteration of L.S.M.B(Lime Soil Mix Burial), Hoegwakmyo which are kinds of L.S.M.B in the Seoul and Gyeonggi-do South Korea, the middle and end of Joseon dynasty.
In the early years of Joseon dynasty, L.S.M.B(Lime Soil Mix Burial) was only used Sadaebu(士大夫) who was ruling class. L.S.M.B was allowed to use ruling class and the cost of constructing it was very expensive. So, only the rich and influential noble family could use it, but after middle of Joseon dynasty, rich common people could begin to use this burial institution.
The building methods of L.S.M.B have two ways, one is hoegeokmyo(灰隔墓)and the other is Hoegwakmyo(灰槨墓).
Hoegeokmyo was used in the early years of Joseon dynasty and its constructing ways is that people dig a ground to make a grave, and make the outer coffin in the grave hole, and the place the inner coffin in the center of grave, and put in the lime between the exterior coffin and ground, finally, make the grave mound after making this burial equipments. This form has two coffins, the outer coffin and the inner coffin, in general and its constructing cost was very expensive because it was necessary to participate the many people and prepare some funeral equipments to make the tomb.
Hoegwakmyo was beginning to use in the middle of Joseon and its methods is a little different with Hoegeokmyo's. The methods is that people placed the coffin after making the lime wall. Therefore, it is able to reduce the human power and the cost. It was several wars that the reason of using the Hoegwakmyo in 16~17century. Several wars brought about the material lack, so people couldn't use the Hoegeokmyo in the erarly years of Joseon. Since《朱子家禮》was adopted to the etiquette manual, making the Hoegwakmyo was using for many common people.
Like the above statements, the L.S.M.B has two types, Hoegeokmyo and Hoegwakmyo. The Hoegeokmyo is known to be constructed by 《國朝五禮儀》methods and the Hoegwakmyo by 《朱子家禮》processes.
Joseon adopt the thesis of politeness from 《朱子家禮》 but It is not sure of introduction of 《朱子家禮》in Joseon dynasty. In Korea dynasty, Ahn hyang introduced the thesis of 《朱子性理學》 to the people from Yuan(元), Chinese dynasty, and it should influence many Sadaebu who would be rulling class in joseon dynasty about social and political mind. So, these facts let the Sadaebu accept 《朱子家禮》naturally.
In the end of 16 century, the mourning and funeral ceremony began to perform as the《朱子家禮》but there were many difference of form about some concrete clauses. Seon-jo(宣祖) who was the king in Joseon dynasty ordered to translate the 《朱子家禮》in Korean but he can't success. Because the manners of 《朱子家禮》was many different to common people's customs and life and it was very strict. Though these problems, 《朱子家禮》make the ruling class strengthen in their social position and it started to spread common people, who wished to participate in upper classes culture to put 《朱子家禮》theory into practice.
In the change aspects of L.S.M.B, Hoegeokmyo was used from the early Joseon times to 16~17 centuries and Hoegwakmyo had been begun to find 16~17 centuries.
This study compare Hoegeokmyo with Hoegwakmyo on their basic structure, the connection shape of the horisontal and vertical board of coffin, and divided the periodizatioin, the middle and end of Josun dynasty, using the remains which was excavated in these tomb and confirm constructing methods through the excavation research. Like this, The building of L.S.M.B has shown us various social, political aspects.
