지산 조호익의 시대와 운명(Ⅰ) - 전가사변과 인생 變轉을 중심으로-

Abstract

Jo Ho-Ik(曺好益), who was born in Changwon, Gyeongsang, wandered around the 6 provinces of Joseon(朝 鮮), and was an unfortunate Confucian scholar, who died in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsang. This article traced various issues that have not been discussed regarding Jo Ho-Ik(曺好益). First, This article traced his family lineage through his grandparents and mother. His family was a noble family, which had produced the state exam(科擧) passers for four generations. Also, his maternal grandmother was a cousin to Yi Hwang(李滉), and his mother was an aunt to Yi Hwang (李滉). Next, the relationship between Jo Ho-Ik and his teachers was traced. As a result, Joo Bak(周博), and Choi Hwang[崔滉, the main culprit of forced relocation of the entire family(全家徙邊)], were classmates passing a preliminary national examination(小科). Contrary to his literary name, his entry into the preliminary national examination(小科) was not written. The successive deaths of king, masters, father(君·師·父), and mother, and the forced migration incident seem to be the cause. Third, regarding Jo Ho-Ik(曺好益)'s entire family’s forced relocation, this text closely traced the nature of the case, circumstances, the main culprit, the dynamics of related people, precedents, and the nature of the crimes. This was an unprecedented and rare case involving a scholar family of Joseon(朝鮮). Fourth, the life and study of the 17-year period were examined from various angles. Jo Ho-Ik(曺好 益) lost his older brother, his younger brother, and his wife one after another. Jo Ho-Ik(曺好益)'s desperate heart was confirmed in several places. In the same year when King Seonjo did not pardon Jo Ho-ik, he appointed Choi Hwang to Daesaheon(대사헌), who had been said to be the culprit.
