조선후기 新興勢力의 향촌기반 구축과정에 대한 연구 - 慶尙道 丹城縣 靑松 沈氏 사례

Abstract

Gyeongsang-do Danseong-hyeon was one of the districts through which the typical form of Sajok-dominated system can be confirmed, and the Sajok-dominated system began to be established in Hyangchon society in the late Joseon Dynasty. Due to the characteristic of the region where Sajok-dominated system got stably constructed, it might be relatively difficult for newly emerging forces to grow up. Nevertheless, there were some growing forces at Danseong-hyeon after the 18th century, among which Cheongsong Shim clans was pretty representative. This study intended to make clear the process in which the growing forces, which newly flowed in Hyangchon society in the late Joseon Dynasty, constructed their Hyangchon base. Through this, this study examined the conditions and process in order for them to be incorporated into the dominance network of Hyangchon society. As a result, this study confirmed that that the requirements for securing social influence in a region should be basically meet the three aspects. First, from the aspect of personnel organization, more than a certain number of members were a requisite. Second, it is thought that establishment of regional base through the formation of a single-lineage village was also a prerequisite for maintaining power in Hyangchon society in the late Joseon Dynasty. Third, it was confirmed that the solidarity with other Sajok through marriage was also a very important element in being incorporated into the ruling network of Hyangchon society.
