안상의 가계와 생애 및 『금합자보』 편찬 과정

Abstract

An Sang 安瑺(1511～1579) was a descendant of An Hyang 安珦(1243∼1306), the first Neo-Confucianist, and in particular his mother side relatives made efforts to keep company with other sarim 士林(Neo-Confucianists), study and practice Neo- Confucianism. Therefore, it could be said that his ideological backgrounds lied in the sarim Neo-Confucianism. Meanwhile, it seemed that both of his father and mother sides cultivated those who were well aware of music and he could be naturally exposed to music. Specifically, his mother's side great-grandfather was well versed with musical insight and knowledge sufficient enough to accurately understand the efficiency of hapjabo 合字譜(combined character notation), principles of combining [hap 合] letters [cha 字]) created by Sŏng Hyŏn 成俔(1439～1504);thus, based on Sŏng Hyŏn's notation system, An Sang could arrange pieces of music and compile his Kŭm hapchabo 『琴合字譜』(Tablature Notation for Kŏmun'go) by citing the content of Akhak kwebŏm 『樂學軌範』(Guide to the Study of Music)compiled by Sŏng Hyŏn. Furthermore, it appeared that Sŏng Hyŏn's positive attitude towards hyangak 鄕樂was also passed down and Sŏng Hyŏn reflected it into his Kŭm hapchabo. An Sang’s official posts could be divided into the central and provincial ones. In the central government, he made significant accomplishments as a central government official, by participating in the project of restoring Kyŏngbok palace 景福宮and compiling Kŭm hapchabo at Changagwŏn 掌樂院(Royal Music Institute of Chosŏn Dynasty). In the provincial government, he was a role-model type provincial governor. During his official post as a governor of Yŏngch'ŏn county 榮川郡, he did his best to cultivate the people by practicing his filial piety on his own as an individual and governor who wanted to keep commemorating the spirit of Sŏncho 先祖, by establishing Yŏngmoam 永慕庵. In addition, he founded Isan Sŏwŏn 伊山書院,revered ancient sages, and attempted to bring up competent persons learning such noble meanings and causes. During his governorship in Chunghwa county 中和郡, he endeavored to perform his duties as a governor by publishing the books of famous Confucianists, such as Sokmunbŏm 『續文範』, Hansŏ chŏnch'o 『漢書傳抄』, Kŭnsarok 『近思錄』, and Yonghak sŏgŭi 『庸學釋義』, and settling down and propagating the Neo-Confucianism, the then national ideology, and by cultivating the custom. While in office in Tŏkwŏnbu 德源府, as a deputy official, he published wooden Kŭm hapchabo. There were time and spatial differences in An Sang's compilation and publication of Kŭm hapchabo. While in his office as a Chŏ' mjŏng 僉正 at Changagwŏn, the hapchabo stored in court Changagwŏn was not in a complete form; thus, he kept revising it and compiled Kŭm hapchabo. Keeping the old saying of Hyogyŏng 『孝經』in mind that there was nothing better than music in changing the custom, he published the beginner's book for kŏmun'go 玄琴, Kŭm hapchabo, for those who wanted to learn how to play kŏmun'go in provinces but could not learn it due to a lack of instructors there. Moreover, he asked people to practice Confucius music theory through kŏmun'go. The reasons for his publishing Kŭm hapchabo should be understood in tandem with the reasons for establishing various books in Chunghwa county the consolidation of Neo-Confucianistic social order and the enlightenment of the custom in provincial districts.
