Abstract

This article examined the daily life and educational responsibilities of the father from noble family in the 16th century through Swaemirok. In particular, the special situation of the Imjin War dramatically shows the desire and feelings for Oh Hui-mun's children. For Oh Hui-mun, the Imjin War was not only a matter of survival, but also a time of threatening to maintain the noble family. In this situation, Oh Hui-mun was worried about the safety and survival of his family, but longed to pass the civil service examination of his sons. At first glance, Oh Hui-mun's seemingly contradictory attitude was related to social structural phenomena and was an unavoidable reality for the noble family at the time. The daily life and responsibilities of the father from the noble family shown in the Swaemirok were as follows. He tried to protect the family as a community of humanity by practicing filial piety and filial piety even in a situation where humanity collapses. In addition, the daily life of adults, such as housework, caring for elderly parents, and hospitality for relatives, was shared with children naturally, and in this process, children were taught to internalize the thought of Confucianism. In addition, he was very interested in the pass the the civil service examination of his sons, such as recording the progress and results of their study in detail. By supporting the entire process of the Celebration of passing exams, he helped their son build social networks. Finally, throughout the Swaemirkok, it can be confirmed that the various emotions that he reveals are caused by the circumstances of the family, especially the children, rather than the war itself. Among them, passing the exam was the greatest joy, and the death of a child was both sorrow and pain. Swaemirok will serve as a clue in examining the appearance of a Korean father.
