We attempted to find the style of flower arrangement from the drawings of Uigwe and paintings of folding screens for the royal ceremonies of the late Joseon dynasty. In the pictures of the Uigwe and folding screens, we could see the linear, circular, and oval types Junhwa used to decorate the left and right sides of the throne placed in the center of main parish at the national banquet. There were also identified the Sanghwa which was used to decorate food on it, Jamhwa which was used to decorate head to be worn on the caps or hats, and Hwaga which was used to decorate the style supporting the large awnings at the national banquet. Hwaga was found, in the Musin Jinchan Dobyeong. In 1795, it was found that decorations on the floor, which are quite similar to the table decorations and modern space decorations, and flower shoot presented by king and flower decorations which were bound to the stick which was presented by king to country old men from Wonhaeng Eulmyo Jeongri Uigwe and Hwaseong Reunghaengdobyeong

According to "Jinjak-yigwe(進爵儀軌)", a special banquet was held at Yungyungdang(演慶堂, a kind of royal theatre) to celebrate the 40th birthday of Queen Soonwon(純元王后) in 1828. This banquet is famous for the presentation of nineteen new Jungjae(呈才) repertoires that the Crown Prince Hyomyung(孝明) created. In order to explore the theoretical basis for the reproduction and presentation of Yungyungdang(演慶堂) Jinjak(進爵, a type of royal banquets), in this article, the imagination and experience of the presentation of Yungyungdang Jinjak are pursued, while focussing on audience's reception. In Yungyungdang Jinjak, King Soonjo(純祖), Queen Soonwon and the prince were the special audience; they participated in the procedure of Ye(禮, etiquette of ceremony) and also were considered as the characters of certain repertoire of Jungjae. Hyomyung arranged the spectacles from the myths of Taoist gods and immortal hermits, as well as historic episodes of the past emperors' elegant tastes of music. These mythic and historic images lead the audience toward the imagination and experience on the transcendental world. Hyomyung, managing the administration as the representative of King Soonjo, tried to show absolute royal authority through the splendid performances of Yungyungdang Jinjak, so as to overcome the politicaly difficult situation. He set up the sacred world for his father King Soonjo, distinct from the secular ordinary world, and emphasized his position as the bridge between the two sides. He expressed his filial duty through the devotion of performing arts to display absolute royal authority.
