The purpose of this study is to re-examine Yŏ-je(厲祭) by targeting Yŏdan( 厲壇) of the Hansungbu(漢城府, Hanyang area) during the Joseon Dynasty. Yo ̆-je is a ritual to appease Yo ̆-gui(厲鬼), who was considered to be the source of plague and disaster. Since space(空間) and symbols(象徵 物) were not carefully discussed in the existing studies, this study focuses on ritual space and ritual symbols. Therefore, this study attempts to clarify the cultural value of death inherent in Yŏ-gui, focusing on material culture. Joseon Dynasty attempted to build a new Yŏ-dan from the beginning of the dynasty. Yŏ-dan had begun to be built in the 15th century, but it was shaped according to the formality by etiquette in the 16th century. In Hanyang, ritual spaces were located outside the four gates. It can be divided into permanent and temporary space. The permanent Yŏ-dan was located in the Bukgyo(北郊) outside the ChanguiMoon(彰義門) and the temporary Yŏdan was located in Samgyo. Yŏ-dans of Hansungbu were built in the same form of Youngsungdan(靈星 壇). Yŏ-je was held in Yŏ-dan in Bukgyo after ceremony of Seonghwang(城 隍) to Yŏ-dan in Namgyo(南郊). Seonghwang is god of the other world, he places a role in bringing MusaGui(無祀鬼) together. As for the arrangement structure of the altar, memorial tablet of Songhwang was placed facing south, tablets of MusaGui were placed left and right of Seonghwang on the lower altar facing each other. The number of tablets of MusaGui was 12 in the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty under the influence of Ming, but it changed to 15 in king Sejong period. I guess that types of sorrow abnormal death reflected sense of value of the contemporary people were added. This study seeks to value Hansungbu's Yo ̆-je in that it has developed its thesis from the perspective of material culture. The purpose of this study is to re-examine Yŏ-jeby targeting Yŏ-danof
