18∼19세기 풍양조씨의 대종중 형성과 족보간행

Abstract

The previous research on relative communities suggest that they were formed in the late 17thcentury and had various activities among the families of the same clan based on ancestor worshipping and cordiality, which demonstrate cooperation among members of the clan, bond among cliques, and mutual benefits between the government officials and prospective bureaucrats Saint. This study discusses how this mechanism operated in a larger family clan rather than relative communities based on particular residential region. The subject of this study is Poongyang Cho Family, one of the most well-known Gyeonghwasajoks(京華士族) in Seoul. Poongyang Cho Family has lived mostly in Seoul but also in Gwangju(廣州), Suwon(水原), Imcheon(林川), Sangju(尙州), and Haeju(海州). The Poongyang Cho Family was formed during the mid-17thcentury while they prepared the graveyard for their ancestors and established memorial service at graveyard, and the On Activity for Ancestors were mainly led by the family lineage living in Seoul and carried out based on solidarity between gyepa(系派)s and contribution from provincial administrators. Publication of the family genealogy was also initiated by a faction and made possible by providence of material and human resources from Gyeong sang Administrator between Cangganbo(創刊譜, 1731) and Samchungganbo(三重刊譜, 1826) as well as contribution from the clan members. The result showed that the mutual benefits and vertical redistribution was based on moral obligation of the clan members serving as a provincial administrator.
