Ritualization of Affection and Respect

Confucian rituals have constituted the foundation of religious practice in the traditional societies of East Asia. Paying attention to the Confucian ritual, this article explores the way Confucianism constructs its symbolic system based on people's natural feelings, particularly in the case of three-year mourning. It intends to show how the two feelings of "affection for the family" (chinchin/qinqin, 親親) and "respect for the honorable" (chonjon/zunzun, 尊尊) are ritualized in Confucian rites, and to illuminate the religious and social dimensions of Confucianism in premodern Korea by analyzing a seventeenth-century controversy over royal mourning from the perspective of these two principles
