『운수지(雲水志)』 을묘본(1675) 편찬과 지역사적 의의

Abstract

Unsuji is the Eupji of Imsil-Hyeon during the Joseon Dynasty. Imsil-Hyeon Eupji was incorporated into the Yeojidoseo(1760) as a national geography of the late Joseon Dynasty, including The SejongSilok Jiriji and Shinjeung dongGukyeojiseungram compiled in the early Joseon Dynasty, and after the Honam-Eupji was compiled in 1793, it was incorporated when it was published in 1847, 1871, 1895, and 1899, respectively. However, since the a national geographical book and Honam-Eupji were prepared to oversee the entire region, the contents of each item are very brief. From a regional point of view, there are inevitably many flaws. Recognizing this problem, some local leaders in the 16th and 17th centuries compiled the Eupji, private local geography with local figures, one of which is Unsuji, compiled in 1675. Unsu is a nickname of Imsil-Hyeon during the Joseon Dynasty. The first discovery of the Unsuji was in July 2023. Unsuji, published in 1904, contained a postscript of Unsuji by Shin Gye-jing, Imsil-Hyeon Superintendent, written in 1675. And there was a clue that he had read it in the legend, so he only speculated that there was a Unsuji compiled in 1675. The Unsuji was compiled by the Superintendent of Imsil-Hyeon, Shin Gye-jing, along with Han Pil-sang and Lee Si-yeon. It follows the compilation of Hamjuji(咸州誌) written by Jeong gu(鄭逑) in 1600. Hamjuji is an Eupji of Haman-gun, and consists of 42 items, compared to Unsuji, with 32 items consisting of 38 items in terms of content. Usually, the purpose of compiling a geographical book(地志) was to edify the people and correct the customs of the village after the Imjin War in 1592 and Mancbu’s invasion in 1636 as the leader, and to organize the history of the village so that it could be revealed in detail. The earliest Eupji, private local geography in Jeolla-do was Seungpyeongji(昇平志), published in 1618, and Unsuji, compiled in 1675, is the oldest Eupji among the 14 cities and counties in Jeonbuk State. In this respect, this paper aims to reveal the local historical value of the Unsuji by reviewing the details of the collection, bibliographic, and contents of the Unsuji, and lay the foundation for future research on local history.
