This paper pays attention to the Yangrorye event held at Sungkyunkwan in the Joseon Dynasty. The reason I paid special attention to the event was that it was a practical educational event for filial piety education for the Yusang of Sungkyunkwan. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to find traces of Yangrorye other than the 『Annals of the Joseon Dynasty』, just as the data related to Sungkyunkwan were almost lost, making the study of Sungkyunkwan difficult. Therefore, the study of Yangrorye is limited and has limitations, but it was considered that the Yangrorye in Sungkyunkwan could be sufficiently grasped because they could be roughly inferred.
In fact, Yangrorye was also performed in the royal family as a practice event of the thought of the elderly, and it was also a national social edification event. In addition, it was done almost the same in local Hyanggyo, including Sungkyunkwan, the best institution of higher education in the Joseon Dynasty.
Therefore, this paper clarified the origin and procedure of Yangrorye, and that it was a national event, and analyzed the Sungkyunkwan Yangrorye event, especially by taking actual cases at Sungkyunkwan. At the conclusion, the educational significance of the nursing ceremony held at Sungkyunkwan was discussed, and in addition to the issues of modern transmission, such as an educational rehabilitation event for the elderly, on October 2nd at each level school, he mentioned.
