Abstract

This article analyzes 20 possessions related to the fish weirs (漁箭) located in Dangjin, Chungcheong-do in Gyujanggak, Seoul National University. After classifying documents according to the flow of events to determine their date and writer, the form and the specific location of the fish weirs are identified. <Dangjin Document> was written by the powerful family decendent from Jeong Jong, who had lived in Yeomi-ri, Haemi from the end of the 17th to the beginning of the 20th century. This family was recorded in Seonwonrok (璿源錄) in 1681, it started to be entitled to the sovereignty on the fish weir sites in Maenggot-myeon, Dangjin. The fish weir sites, which were accorded to the family, was a very wide area encompassing the entire coastal area of ​​Maenggot-myeon, Dangjin. Also, the fishing gear installed at the sites included various fishing gear other than the fish weirs. As a result, the boundaries of the sites were ambiguous and the rights were comprehensive so that there existed a possibility of dispute from the beginning. The sovereignty on the sites was also based on the internal economic relationship in that the famliy provided the capital for the fishermen, but was essentially based on the non-economic relationship intervened by the government. When the family's political stance was weak or its management on the sites was loose, it was bound to be difficult to maintain the sovereignty on the sites. Moreover, because the sovereignty on the sites was delegated on the ground of which, from the start, was based on the royal status recognized by the state, it could always be rejected according to the central governmental policy.
