읍지(邑誌)를 통해서 본 조선후기 개성부(開城府)의 학교와 그 운영

Abstract

Focusing on the five Eupji of Kaesong-bu published in the late Joseon Dynasty, this paper summarized the main matters related to the schools and their management of Kaesong-bu in the late Joseon Dynasty. Since Kim Yuk (1580-1658) established the 'school' clause in the Songdoji (1648), the oldest eupji that exists in the Joseon Dynasty, the follow-up eupji also has a 'school' clause to contain major matters related to the schools existing in Kaesong and their operation. Focusing on the materials contained in the 'school' clause of various eupji, this paper examines the school education situation in the late Joseon Dynasty by dividing it into three areas: 1) Seonggyungwan and various Confucian academies and ancestral halls, 2) teaching officer: Gyosu and Bungyoguan(branch teachers); 3) Financial organization: Bunbongsangsi and Yanghyeongo. This paper has limitations in collecting and organizing data on Sungkyunkwan and 15 Confucian academies and ancestral halls, that existed in Kaesong-bu in the late Joseon Dynasty across the three areas above. Therefore a more detailed and multifaceted review is needed in the future on the background and meaning of the increase in the number of schools in Kaesong-bu, the actual activities of various schools in Kaesong-bu, the specific roles of instructors in Kaesong-bu, such as Gyosu and Bungyoguan, and the financial sources supporting schools in Kaesong-bu, its source, scale, and operation methods.
