metadata.value: The paper focuses on the one of the Kingship symbols in Korea in the Joseon period namely
  “The Screen of the Sun, the Moon and the Five Peaks” (Irworobongbyeong). The Screen was
  one of the obligatory attributes of the ruler, it symbolized his presence and connection with
  the universe. According to the modern South Korean historians, the first Screen was placed
  behind the lifetime portrait (1393) of the founder of the Joseon dynasty — Yi Seong-gye
  (T’aejo, 1335–1408, ruled 1392–1398). According to my research, this statement is unreasonable
  because the portrait of Yi Seong-gye has not survived, and we can deal only with its copy
  now, that was painted in the 18th century. The article explains that the Screen originally was
  only one of the symbols of the royal authority but its role changed in the 17–19th centuries,
  after the Manchu conquered Korean peninsula — this dramatic events led to sudden increase
  of anti-Manchu and (later) anti-Qing views which influenced and strengthened Korean selfidentity.
  Basing on the historical examples, I conclude that the Screen started to play an important
  role in the state ritual starting from the anti-Manchu politics but became irreplaceable
  part of Kingship only in the late 19th century. Apart from the historical view, the article gives
  interpretation to visual images on the Screen and studies the meaning of the Screen in the
  state ritual. According to the results of our research the Screen placed behind a King’s throne
  symbolically made a King a ruler of space and time.
