Abstract
Building on the discussion from previous chapters, this chapter first looks at the domination of wild beasts through the hunt, a public symbol of monarchical power in the Koryŏ–Mongol era, as it shifted from the responsibility of the king to the responsibility of the bureaucracy. The chapter argues that along with restraining the actions of kings, the state attempted to transform human–animal relations. Animals grew more plentiful in the expanded domain in the north and were increasingly sacrificed on the altars of both the state and private homes, examined in the second half of this chapter. Ritual sacrifice is an important yet often neglected historical analysis. While based on earlier principles of Confucian rites, these rituals took on added meaning in early Chosŏn. Animals, wild and domestic, helped define Chosŏn identity, becoming the blood and bones of the dynasty’s political legitimacy. This chapter explores the consequences of these newly regulated royal hunts on human and animal interactions within state, political and cultural developments of the fifteenth century.
