士禍期의 士禍錄 『雪壑謏聞』

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to excavate 『Seolhaksomun』, a work of Nammyeonghakpa Jungbuk’s scholar Seolhak Lee Dae­gi(1551∼1628) and to introduce it to the literary world. In usurpation of Sejo, 『Seolhaksomun』 is a work to comprehensively depict 9 cases of Sahwa that occurred in the Sahwa period at the end of Myeongjong era such as Gyeyu Sahwa (Gyeyujeongnan), Byeongja Sahwa (Danjong Restoration Movement, Sayukshin Incident), Muoh Sahwa, Gapja Sahwa, Gimyo Sahwa, Shinsa Sahwa (Shinsamuok), Eulsa Sahwa, Jeongmi Sahwa (Yangjaeyeok Wallposter Incident), and Giyu Sahwa (Giyu Oksa). Lee Dae­gi wrote Sahwa record, 『Seolhaksomun』 by organically grasping the Sahwa period centering on the injustice usurpation of Sejo. It was a great risk to reveal his awareness through his writings because exposing the king's injustice as a subject was injustice and disloyalty. Suyangdaegun caused a coup in the first year of Danjong (1453), based on the strong vassal power and the weakening of the royal authority in early Danjong, and he seizure throne in the form of the abdication in the 3rd year of Danjong (1455). Sejo's conduct became a major flaw in justice, orthodoxy, and morality in Confucianism politics, the governing ideology of the time. Sayukshin attempted to restoration of Danjong, but eventually failed and were subjected to gruesome political retaliation. Since then, Kim Jong­jik built <Jouijemun>, which reveals the injustice of Sejo figuratively. This work provided the cause of Muoh Sahwa, and many Sarim got misfortunes. Afterwards, many Saryu got misfortunes after going through a few cases of Sahwa. Sejo was injustice, but he rose to the status of king, and later his descendants succeeded throne, and Joseon dynasty went on with continuity. Exposing the king's injustice could be disastrous as it swung the legitimacy of Joseon dynasty while at the same time being injustice and disloyalty as a subject. Therefore, Lee Dae­gi had a limitation in describing history by organically grasping the Sahwa period around Sejo's injustice, and he overcame these limitations by writing 『Seolhaksomun』. This study focused on two aspects that present Lee Dae­gi's historical recognition of the Sahwa period and overcoming the limitations of the historical writing of the Sahwa period, while looking at the general features of 『Seolhaksomun』.
