The Kingship and Establishment of the Chohoe System in Early Chosŏn
Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2005, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The chohoe (朝會, court conference) was a ceremony symbolizing royal authority which was conducted in traditional East Asian societies heavily influenced by Confucianism. The Chinese character for cho (朝) has traditionally been understood to express meritorious retainers’ act of meeting the king. Meanwhile, the term chohoe meant the actions carried out as part of the relationship between ruler and subject. More specifically, the term chohoe connoted the regulations and ceremonial etiquette which governed the meritorious retainers’ act of meeting the ruler. Therefore, the ruler-subject relationship exposed through chohoe ceremonies served as an active expression of the monarch-centered order.
