조선시대 예안 광산김씨의 친족활동

Abstract

The lineage activities conducted by Gwangsan Kim family from Yean in the Joseon period show the following features: 1) pursuing a strong unity within the kinship village; 2) seeking a regional solidarity within the local community to unite other lineages of same surname in the neighboring region; and 3) forming a kinship lineage beyond local community by interacting with other lineages from same surname residing at a long distance. For example, Ochoen village rules(洞規) and Hujodang fellowship gathering(稧會) in the 16th century demonstrate well how the lineage activities of the kinship village expressed the rules of the village, social order and cultural feature. Meanwhile, Jeongneungdong fellowship gathering, which had been constantly organized between the Yean clan of Gwangsan Kim family from Ocheon, Gyeongsang Province, who belonged to Toegye School of Yeongnam Namin (Southerners), and the Kim Gye-hwi and Kim Jang-saeng family, who were categorized as Yulgok School of Giho Seoin (Westerners) in the 16th century to succeed to the relation made between Kim Yeon from Ocheon and Kim Jong-yun from Giho in the 15th century, was a kinship network beyond regionalism and school ties. Moreover, the surname gathering(姓會) of Gwangsan Kim family was a lineage gathering among the relatives with same surname in Ocheon and Gudam, governed by Andong-bu, Gyeongsang Province, and it represents its unique feature of combining the kinship unity and regional solidarity at the same time. This family gathering used to be held in a Buddhist temple in spring (March or April) and in autumn (September of October), and the participants promoted mutual exchange, amity and aid by drinking and talking, writing poems, or contemplating music. This gathering ceased for a while due to the Manchu invasion of Korea in 1636, but revived in the form of Sandong family gathering in the 19th century. The surname gathering of Gwangsan Kim family was a new form of family gathering uniting the kinship solidarity among the relatives with same surname in the neighboring region, and it is remarkable for being distinguishable from other forms of gatherings to promote the solidarity of a clan, such as a lineage council or a family council.
