Abstract
In general, the tombs of the Joseon Dynasty are recognized as a blood transfusion method in which a rectangular tomb is dug and a body (wood coffin) is laid down from top to bottom, filled with soil, and a burial mound is raised. In the recent precision excavation process, rectangular blood transfusions similar to those of the tomb were found at intervals toward the foot of the Togwangmyo and Hoemyo during the Joseon Dynasty, and the short walls of the tomb and the short walls of the blood transfusion were sometimes connected. Therefore, this type of tomb was defined as a “Horizontal tomb” by borrowing the structure of a cross-sectional stone chamber (stone wall) tomb.
 First, it was confirmed whether the actual burial was possible in the lateral mausoleum. In the case of Hoemyo, the burial body was first created using Sabanghoe and Cheonhoe, and in the case of Togwangmyo, the wooden frame was used. After that, the size (length×width) of the store subject was compared with the size (length×width) of the grave map and the size (width×height) of the store subject by the size of the aisle, and most of them were confirmed to be actual stores. In addition, a number of traces of blocking the foot-side fault wall at the end were found in the horizontal earthen mine and Hoemyo, and it is believed that the actual store was conducted.
 Next, as a result of analyzing the relics excavated inside the horizontal tomb, it was found to have been built in the early Joseon Dynasty through white porcelain stones, tombstone stones, and coins, and the relative dates such as porcelain and metals are also from the 15th to 16th centuries.
 In the Joseon Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism became the center of politics and society, and in particular, etiquette became the standard for 『朱子家禮(Zhu-xi's Family Courtesy)』. However, even during the reign of King Seongjong, the culture of preferring stone chamber(stone wall) tomb, where the Soodo (Myodo) was created, was maintained between the Sadaebu(or noble families), which could be confirmed in the tombs of Park Ik and Roh Hoe-shin.
 In the process of replacing stone chamber(stone wall) tomb with a Hoemyo, it is believed that Myodo remained and continued the tradition of the previous era, and the clan and vassal of the tomb would have been the mainstream. Therefore, it is not confirmed after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, when the etiquette of 『朱子家禮(Zhu-xi's Family Courtesy)』 was established.
