Royal banquets of Goryeo were fundamentally hosted by the king for virtuous men or for the people on felicitous occasions; the king would hold felicitous assemblies, which acted as a medium for the king of Goryeo to practice benevolent rule as part of the process of gaining/maintaining the king’s authority, grace, and harmony. These resulted in amicable unity. Through holding diverse types of banquets such as yeon(宴), gogyeon(曲宴), chiju(置酒), hyang(享), po(酺), and hyang(饗), the king attempted harmony between his subjects and himself by upholding moral obligations and respect between ruler and subjects, order between the old and the young, and propriety toward others. Furthermore, the ruler tried to communicate with the people through provisions for the elderly and banquets for the people as well, of which there were so many varied types that these could be called “politics of banquets”. As can be seen from above, the various royal banquets of Goryeo are not only events where the sovereign bestowed benevolence and confirmed his authority, they also were significant for fostering harmony between ruler and his subjects and edifying the people.
