1)This study is based on the official Chinese history of the ancient Korean(中國正史朝鮮傳) clothing and ornaments, and also tries to discover, study, and adjust the system of the ancient Korean clothing and ornaments. Ancient Korea has very poor official records of its clothing and ornaments. Therefore, this study had no choice but to rely on the official Chinese history to cover for the lack of resources. The official Chinese history documents are not only important for studying ancient Korean history, but also important for studying about the ancient Korean clothing and ornaments. This research selected historical documents about the ancient Korean clothing and ornaments from fifteen different Chinese dynasties' official documents, and then systematically classified the documents in order to compare them. All these processes confirmed the following subjects. In regards to the Kwan(冠 : general hat), the hat types included Check(幘), Byun(弁), Jeol-poong(折風), Jowoo-Kwan(鳥羽冠), So-gol(蘇骨), and Na-kwan(羅冠). These Kwan(冠) were influenced from Chinese clothing and ornaments. Gold and silver decorations on the Kwan(冠) were influenced from the Scythai culture. The feather decorations on the hat were residual of the bird worshiping culture or the hunting lifestyle. These things show that the ancient Korean clothing and ornaments originated the clothing and ornaments from the North. But the use of Jo-woo(bird feather) was common around the globe in many ways during the ancient times, regardless of area and period. The official Chinese history describes men's hair style as Choo-gyul (魋結) or sometimes pronounced, Choo-gyul(椎結). These seem to describe the topknot. Women had various types of hair styles such as Yu-byun-bal-su-hu (女辮髮垂後 : wear women's hair in a braid). The official Chinese history show that the ancient Korean clothing and ornaments originated the clothing and ornaments from the north. The ancient Korean clothing and ornaments 본 논문은 석사학위 청구논문의 일부임
Ancient documents, characters, and relics are the utmost important materials when it comes to researching ancient clothing. Of these, the ancient characters explain the contents of the time, which makes it an objective historical record. China has hieroglyphics, such as oracle bone inscription and bronzeware script, which existed in Sang[Eun]ㆍJu era. This character is formed by a simple line and detailed drawing, showing the object or the concrete form and characteristics, so the reader can understand the meaning. Oracle bone inscription and bronzeware script, which are written in pictograph, include contents that help to grasp the original shape and form of ancient official hats. Chinese characters Geon(巾,건) Byun(㝸,변) Myun(免,면) Mo(冒,모) Ju(冑,주) and Kwan(冠,관), which are the names of the official hats, have been researched, and Mi(美,미) Ryung(令,령) Wang(王,왕) and Hwang(皇,황), which are the characters related to the official hats, have been studied. Geon(巾,건) switched its form from shape of material around waist to wraping wearer's head. Byun(㝸,변) is a hat with decoration, and Myun(免,면) is in form of a helmet with ornaments. Mo(冒,모) in bone script looks like a hat with decorations on each sides, but in bronzeware script, it is more like a simple round hat Ju(冑,주) covers one's head and has decorated ornaments, and The Kwan(冠,관), which is now a common name of official hats, is not shown in oracle bone inscription or bronzeware script, It might have been used later than the other two types of hats. As for the related Chinese characters, Mi(美,미) is in the shape of a feather decoration, Ryung(令,령) is similar in shape to the letter'A',and Wang(王,왕) is in shape of simple hat from 령 with decorations. Hwang(皇,황) is like a Wang(王,왕)'hat, but with fancier decorations.Oracle bone inscription and bronzeware script show the original form and shape of ancient hats.
