昌寧姓氏族譜의 山圖製作과 地理認識에 관한 硏究

Abstract

The making of the mountain map in genealogical records started in the late 17th century when patrilineal genealogical records made their appearance. It was intended as a way to solidify the clan and to maintain its hierarchy. The mountain maps in the genealogical records were rich in the Neo-Confucianistic world view of the participating class and in the Fengshui geographical ideas. Those perspectives are well depicted through the medium of mountain maps and mountain discourse. In particular, the mountain maps inserted in 『the Genealogical Record of Changnyung Seong Clan』 compiled in the early 18th century not only show the characteristics of mountain maps in their initial stage, but also offer an opportunity to understand the Neo-Confucianistic world view and the Fengshui geographical ideas of the time. The mountain maps of ?the Genealogical Record of Changnyung Seong Clan? are composed of the 3 parts of title, picture map and mountain discourse - the traditional technique of mountain map making. The overall framework of the picture map is faithful to the traditional method of mountain map making, which describes the ideal land space of Fengshui. The mountain discourse gives explanations on content mountain maps intended to offer in association with picture maps in a Fengshui perspective. In addition, the mountain maps of ?the Genealogical Record of Changnyung Seong Clan? laid out their purposes in making the maps, which represent important information in identifying the intentions of the participating class that made the mountain maps in the Chosun Dynasty era. Furthermore, in connection with grave legends the mountain maps of 『the Genealogical Record of Changnyung Seong Clan』 complete the land composition of Fengshui. The fact that grave legends are combined with mountain maps to bring about a Fengshui land composition suggests that the idea of clan rules is expressed by means of mountain maps.
