흥해 최씨 일가의 거창 정착과終慕堂 崔胤貞의 향촌 사회 활동

Abstract

In this paper, I explored the process of settling in Geochang of the Heunghae Choi family during the Joseon Dynasty and establishing the family tradition after that. In particular, I focused on Choi Yoon-jung's life, consciousness, and activities that contributed to the local community. Heunghae Choi's family began to live in Geochang from the time of Choi Gye-dong. Choi Sook-ryang, the son of Choi Gye-dong, discussed his studies while interacting with Kim Goong-pil and Jeong Yeo-chang at Odosan Mountain in Geochang. Since then, the family tradition has been established over the four generations leading to Choi hoo-won, Choi Yoon-jung, Choi Hae-doo, and Choi Tae-yeon. They did not have a will for secular profit, lived in the hometown, devoted themselves to learning, and actively contributed to community activities. In particular, while studying Neo-Confucianism, Choi Yun-jeong actively participated in solving local issues such as the establishment of Dosanseowon Confucian Academy and the implementation of the Daedong Law in Yeongnam. In this regard, Choi Yoon-jung's activities have great implications for those who study regional studies today.
