조선시대 모시 생산지와 저산칠읍(苧産七邑) 모시제작기술의 특징

Abstract

Jeosanchil-eup was a word that reached all seven towns in southwestern Chungcheongnam-do, where ramie was produced a lot during the Joseon Dynasty, and ramie in this area gained a reputation for its excellent quality and was distributed nationwide. This paper tried to investigate the technical characteristics of the production technology of ramie in Chil-eup, Jeosan, focusing on the correlation between materials and technology. By comparing and examining the growth conditions of ramie grass and modern and modern climate data, it was possible to confirm that the Jeosan Chil-eup area was a very suitable area for the growth of ramie grass climatically and geographically. In addition, through the research report of the Central Laboratory of the Government-General of Korea during the Japanese colonial period and the modern literature data, it was found that the technology suitable for the characteristics of the local materials was developed. and the technology related to manufacturing, including material processing, was improved. In particular, the technology of making yarn was a key technology for producing high-quality ramie in Chil-eup, Jeosan. Hoseo local producers had a certain standard for the quality of ramie fiber, which is formed through long-time production experience in the region. In addition, it is thought that the technology that can produce fibers that meet certain standards, regardless of the characteristics of the material origin, was shared and transmitted. Jeosanchil-eup ramie production technology is a useful example to examine the correlation between materials and technology, which is a component of crafts, in that the climate and environmental conditions suitable for material growth, the characteristics of materials, and the technology processing have developed based on a specific area.
