18세기 후반~19세기 전반 水原別路 구간과 綿布의 유통

Abstract

The route of the Suwonbyeollo was based on the Hanseong- Siheung-Anyang-Sageun-Hwaseong route. This route was divided into two sections: Section ① (Sageun to Hwaseong) and Section ② (Siheung to Anyang). Section ① had confirmed traffic as early as the 17th century, and by the mid-18th century, it was utilized as a major thoroughfare with significant traffic. In the late 18th century, the government established the Mokpo-jeon at Suwon’s new town, through which cotton fabrics from the Samnam region were gathered. Additionally, the government routed the tax grain from the Samnam region through Suwon’s new town. Subsequently, Section ① saw the development of a local market in Suwon’s new town, where active trading of cotton fabrics took place. Meanwhile, in Section ②, as logistics expanded from Section ①, a Balcham was established, and the road width was expanded. Later, to secure funds for Anyang-cham, Gunpocheon-jang was relocated to Anyang-jang, and Gunpo-jang was re-established at the original site of Gunpocheon-jang. At the restored Gunpo-jang market, the distribution of cotton fabrics was also active. These developments reflect the approval process by the government regarding the economic activities of the people and the changes in logistics that were carried out under its influence.
