진도 4성씨의 결속과 향사(鄕祠)의 변화 과정

Abstract

This paper focuses on the two points by researching on Bong-amseowon(鳳巖書院), Hyochungsa(孝忠祠), Hyanghyunsa(鄕賢祠), which were facilities for worshipping ‘the wise man of the district(鄕賢)’ in Jindo, Jeollanamdo, South Korea. First, the perception of whom to present as ‘the wise man’ under the condition of an island was changing according to the 17~18th centuries, 19th century. Second, the reconstruction of the 20th century was constrained by these conditions at the time of formation of worshipping facilities. The four lineages of Jindo are subject of the establishment of these facilities. They settled in Jindo at least before the 15th century. And based on the Order awarded for Japanese invasions of Korea, they were known as the influential lineages in Jindo in the 17th century. And they formed a solid alliance through mutual marriage from the 15th century. The people of Jindo founded Bong-amseowon which worships the exiled due to the limited conditions in the 17~18th centuries. However, in the 19th century, as the paternal kinship groups were organized, they created public facilities to worship their ancestors. That were Hyochungsa and Hyanghyunsa. Jindo people worchipped only Changnyeong Jo’s ancestors in Hyochungsa and the four lineages of Jindo gathered their renown ancestors together in Hyanghyunsa. But since its demolition in 1868, the three facilities had face different fates. Bong-amseowon has not been restored since the 20th century. And Hyochungsa became just a worship facillity of one lineage. However, the four lineages restored Hyanghyunsa together and people in Jindo still regard it as a facility to worship ‘the wise man of the restrict’. And it has now emerged as a cultural heritage of Jindo.
