Abstract

This article is written to review the aspect of Seogye family’s clan management who now settle down in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi-do. However, I admit that this article is more about arrangement of basic materials rather than full-scale and serious analysis. The Seogye family took lead of compiling the pedigree with Bannam parkssi, the head clan, sicne the first half of 17th. They also made jong-gae(宗契) in the late 18th. At this time, jong-gae(宗契) basically aimed to hold a memorial service to Seogye(西溪) Park-Se-Dang(朴世堂) and regulated mutual aid of members. Based on the type of Jok-gae(族契) in korea, this is aspect of Jok-gae or jong-gae which go along with the process that change from relative system to parental lineal. Besides, Seogye family implemented Yemok(禮木)-system for preparing budget to manage clan. The yemok system carried out at Seogye family seems to have been borrowed from a public institution. It was not only conducted at Seogye family. Although it was for financial goal, it also functioned as a system to make their members responsible and consistently interested in stuffs of clan. Like this, the Seogye family internally strengthened their solidarity through clan management and Jong-gae enactment. Additionally, they externally kept their family status through marriage with influential family. And based on this marriage relationships, they continued Long Standing relationship. 『Seganggaechup(世講契帖)』 and 『Oryeongyejwamok(五聯契座目)』 were materials that reflected these circumstances. A long standing friendship between families was likely to be a foundation to keep their status and prestige as Kyunghwa-sajok in the late choson. The instance of seogye familyt carries important meaning as the example that suggests the appearance of Kyunghwa sajok’s clan management in the late choson. However, it is little bit difficult to conclude how Kyunghwa-sajok operated clan only by the example of Seogye family at once, much more materials are expected to be accumulated in the future.
