朝鮮時代 淸州地域 인물의 文集刊行과 그 의미

Abstract

“Collections of works”(文集) provide a collection of all the works of an author, thus claiming very high value as historical materials. It is thus a very important research task to shed light on the historical meanings of collections of works. This study thus set out to examine the publication of collections of works by 73 figures in the Cheongju area(淸州地域) in Joseon(朝鮮時代) and their meanings. The authors were first categorized according to the year of birth and then examined for their character. The results show that collections of works were published mainly by Igeo Sajok(移居士族) rather than Toseong(土姓) in Cheongju in the 15th century. An overwhelming percentage of 73 were born in the 19th century or later, and most of them belonged to the Noron line. The authors were then categorized according to the family name and examined in their nature. It was found that 30 families published a collection of works in Cheongju, and the Shin family of Goryeong(高靈申氏) in the Namin(南人) line left the most collections of works at 15. All of their collections of works were, however, published only in the 20th century. They were followed by the Park family of Suncheon(順天朴氏) in the Noron(老論) line with six collections of works published. They all lived in the 19th or 20th century except for one, and all of their collections of works were published only in the 20th century, as well. The Park family of Milyang(密陽朴氏) in the Noron line published five collections of works, ranking in the third place. The members of the family were born and died in the relatively earlier 15th~17th century and started to publish a collection of works in the 17th century. The collections of works published by the 73 figures were categorized by the periods to review their patterns. The findings indicate that the publication of collections of works started in the 17th century and that the figures in the Noron line published their collections of works main in the 18th and 19th century. The figures in the Namin line started to publish a collection of works during the Japanese rule with as high as 57.5% of their collections of works published after 1945. The review results by the publication periods show that the years of compilation and publication were considerably later than the birth and death dates in most figures, which suggests that the original collections of works must have been lost in good parts before compilation and publication in many cases. Despite that, those collections of works contained a considerable amount of records about Cheongju and its figures, which led to the review of their content about the area. There were many parts about Palgyeong(八景) and Gugok(九曲) that were considered as the essential elements of Sajok residence. The collections of works also provided detailed records about Seowon(書院) and Sawoo(祠宇) and also Nu(樓), Jeong(亭), and Dang(堂), which were representative spaces of local Sajok in Joseon. The collections of works also included records about many figures of loyalty and filial piety such as the army raised in the cause of justice during Imjinwaeran(壬辰倭亂) and the figures that adhered to their principles at the end of Joseon. A good number of collections of works also mentioned devoted daughters-in-laws, virtuous women, Gyehoi(契會), and Shihoi(詩會). Taking a further step from the previous studies on collections of works that focused on the Yeongnam region(嶺南地域), the present study catalogued the collections of works of 73 figures in Cheongju, analyzed their content, and granted meanings to them, which ensures its significance. The study also demonstrated that the publication of collections of works by local figures presented a lot of implications for the local history(地域史). That is, the study reported that the character of figures that published a collection of works and the publication patterns of those collections by the periods coincided with the history of Cheongju. It was also found that the collections of works of figures in Cheongju contained the only diverse and detailed records as local research materials, which verifies the great importance and utilization value of collections of works as local materials.
