 Revival of Grand Archery Meets of the Era of King Yeongjo |
|
 Significance
The Grand Archery Meets (Daesaryeui) was one of the five major state rites of the Joseon Dynasty, which aimed at promoting harmony and unity as well as ritual courtesy among the kings and their courtiers. The Joseon kings were expected to develop martial skills as well as attain academic knowledge and cultural refinement, which were all considered necessary virtues of rulers. Toward this purpose the royal archery meets began soon after the dynasty was founded. They have been revived, based on events held in 1743, the 19th year of the reign of King Yeongjo.
