In this paper, I examine the hyangrye (鄕禮, “village rites”) yeosurye (旅酬禮), hyangeumjurye (鄕飮酒禮), and hyangsarye (鄕射) performed in rural society in the 16th and 17th centuries as recorded in the Hyangyaktongbyeon (鄕約通變) of Hong Jung-sam, a Silhak scholar in the late Joseon Dynasty, with attention to the procedures, contents, and characteristics of the rites. Yeosurye, hyangeumjurye, and hyangsarye, which had been performed since the early Joseon Dynasty, were hyangrye performed by nobles in rural society that were considered important in establishing order in rural villages centered on Hyangyak. Therefore, among the Confucian rites to strengthen the ruling order of local nobles in Hyangyak, those related to drinking culture and archery can be seen as the most important rites along with the hyangeumjurye. However, studies of hyangrye such as yeosurye, hyangeumjurye, and hyangsarye conducted in rural society so far are extremely meager and have been limited to introducing the contents of a collection of works from a specific region or by a particular individual. Accordingly, I investigated the procedures, contents, and further characteristics of the hyangrye performed in Hyangyak at the time, focusing on yeosurye, hyangeumjurye, and hyangsarye yakryeong, which are mentioned in combination with the Hyangnyaktongbyeon.
