초록

이글은 220년 8월 曹丕가 고향 譙에서 大饗禮를 지내고 세운 <大饗碑>의 설립 목적을 究明하기 위해 작성되었다. 曹操사후 魏王을 거쳐 황제가 된 조비지만 명실상부한 후계자가 되기까지는 우여곡절이 있었다. 正室 卞氏의 장남임에도 불구하고 문학적 재능이 뛰어났던 동생 曹植과 부친의 선택을 받기 위해 치열하게 경쟁해야만 했다. 조조의 망설임으로 인해 太子 冊封을 둘러싼 갈등은 거의 10년 가까이 진행되었고, 그 결과 조비를 지지하는 집단과 조식을 지지하는 집단이 형성되어 갈등하였다.
조비의 즉위는 조식 지지파의 몰락을 의미한다. 공교롭게도 이들은 지역적으로 대부분 譙·沛지역 출신이었고, 이들에 대한 숙청은 軍權을 장악하고 있었던 초·패 출신들을 동요하게 하였다. 이는 안정적인 황제권의 창출을 꿈꾸는 조비에게는 부담이 되었을 것이다. 따라서 조비는 南征 중 고향을 찾아 대향례를 베풀며 초·패 출신들의 동요를 무마시킬 필요가 있었을 것이다. 이렇듯 禪讓 직전 굳이 고향을 찾아 대향례를 치를 수밖에 없었던 사정이 <대향비>의 이면에 존재했던 것이다.

영어초록

This paper is written to illuminate the purpose of Cao Pi’s erecting the “Memorial Stone of Grand Feast” after practicing the ceremony of Grand Feast in his hometown in Qiao in August 220. Following Cao Cao’s death, Cao Pi was enthroned as Emperor through the enthronement as King of Wei. Nevertheless, he had to go through many complexities until he truly secured his royal position as his father’s heir. Though he was the oldest son of Empress Dowager Bian, he had to work for Cao Cao’s approval as his heir through fierce competition against his younger brother Cao Zhi who was distinguished in literary talent. While Cao Cao remained undecided, the conflicts over the installation of the royal prince persisted for almost 10 years. As a result, there arose conflicts between Cao Pi’s supporter group and Cao Zhi’s support group.
Cao Pi’s enthronement meant collapse of Cao Zhi’s supporters. As a coincidence, they were mostly from Qiao and Pei regions, and their purge caused agitation among the local military power group from these regions. To Cao Pi, who was dreaming to generate a stabilized emperor’s power, it must have been a burden. Therefore, it is reasonable to suppose that, during his southward journey for invasion just before his enthronement as the emperor, Cao Pi needed to appease agitations among those from Qiao and Pei regions by offering the ceremony of Grand Feast in his hometown. In other words, behind the Memorial Stone of Grand Feast, there was a reason for Cao Pi’s visit to his hometown before his abdication of the throne, offering the ceremony of Grand Feast.
