* Reenactment Ceremonies at Jongmyo Shrine

The Jongmyo Jerye (Royal Ancestral Ritual in the Jongmyo Shrine) was a state ritual performed by the kings of the Joseon dynasty to honor the virtues of their ancestors and to pray for the peace and prosperity of the nation. Among all state rituals of the Joseon period, it was the largest and most significant, and thus also called the Jongmyo Daeje (Grand Ancestral Ritual). During the ceremony, the king, accompanied by the crown prince, high-ranking civil and military officials, and members of the royal family, personally conducted the rituals at the shrine. The ritual followed precise Confucian protocols, including the preparation of offerings, libations of wine, recitation of ritual texts, and the welcoming and sending off of ancestral spirits. During the Joseon period, the ritual was performed four times a year — in the first month of each season — but today, it is held only once annually, on the first Sunday of May.

The Jongmyo Jeryeak (Royal Ancestral Ritual Music in the Jongmyo Shrine) is the music performed during this ritual, representing the highest form of court ritual art, in which music, dance, and instrumental performance are harmoniously integrated. The two main musical suites, <i>Botaepyeong</i> (“Maintaining the Great Peace”) and <i>Jeongdaeeop</i> (“Founding a Great Dynasty”), are performed in accordance with the ritual sequence. They praise the accomplishments of past kings and express wishes for royal prosperity and national stability. In the early Joseon period, more than forty instruments were used; today, the ensemble features fifteen instruments, including <i>daegeum</i> (large bamboo flute), <i>dangpiri</i> (reed pipe), <i>taepyeongso</i> (double reed instrument), <i>haegeum (two-stringed fiddle)</i>, <i>ajaeng</i> (seven-stringed zither), <i>pyeonjong</i> (bell chimes), <i>pyeongyeong</i> (stone chimes), <i>bak</i> (wooden clappers), <i>chuk</i> (wooden sound box), <i>eo</i> (wooden scraper), <i>banghyang</i> (metal chimes), <i>janggu</i> (hourglass drum), <i>jeolgo</i> (large double-headed drum), <i>jingo</i> (seated drum), and <i>jing</i> (large gong). While the music is performed, two ritual dances accompany it: <i>Munmu</i> (Civil Dance), which extols the literary virtues of the ancestors, and <i>Mumu</i> (Military Dance), which celebrates their martial achievements. Together they embody a refined harmony of solemnity and restraint, symbolizing the dignity of Joseon’s royal Confucian culture.

The Jongmyo Jerye was designated a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 1975, and the Jongmyo Jeryeak in 1964. Both were jointly inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2001. This recognition affirms that the Confucian ideals of ritual propriety (<i>ye</i>) and music (<i>ak</i>) have been transmitted without interruption for more than six centuries, standing as a precious spiritual legacy of humanity.

Today, Jongmyo Shrine hosts a variety of reenactment events that allow visitors to experience these living traditions firsthand.

<i>Myohyeollye</i> was a ritual in which the queen or crown princess, after marriage, visited Jongmyo Shrine for the first time to pay respects to the royal ancestors.
