구한말 제주 문인 부해 안병택의 삶과 교섭

Abstract

This thesis explores the life of “Buhae” Ahn Byung Taek in the relation to the interaction between the main land and Jeju. Born in Jochun-eub, Jeju-do, Buhae continued on the school of Nosa due to the influence of his father, Ahn Dal Sam. After his father died in Jeju-do, Buhae crossed the ocean to settle in the mainland. However, he remained in close contact with Jeju despite the distance. It is noteworthy that he left Jeju in search for the school of principle unlike most Jeju elites of the time. He was also active in educational activities in the mainland as part of Jeju literati. Although he lived in Jeolla-do, Buhae was a Jeju person in his mind. In this sense, he lived the typical life on the border. However, he did not collapse on the border but became a bridge between the two different groups, influencing people both in the mainland and Jeju-do. The earlier generation of Jeju asked Buhae about the incident surrounding Ki Jung Jin and Choi Ik Hyun because he was familiar with the network of these two schools through his father. He actively arranged the meeting of the next generation and Ki Woo Man in order to pass on the teachings of his master to Jeju-do. Moreover, it is likely that he had relation with the great scholars of Confucianism, Jun Woo and Kwak Jong Suk school under the same goal of recovering the nation’s power. In summary, Buhae is located within the basic structure of “mainland literati-Buhae-Jeju literati” with more detailed structures of “Ki Jung Jin, Ki Woo Man-Buhae-Jeju literati,” “Choi Ik Hyun-Buhae-Jeju literati” and “Ju Woo, Kwak Jong Suk-Buhae-Jeju literati.” Under the circumstances of Jeju at the time, Buhae took an integral role in the establishment of Jeju intellectuals. Future study on Buhae’s pupils and colleagues is expected to support and solidify the conclusion of this study further more.
