『산학선생안』의 자료적 특성과 의미

Abstract

In this article, we focused on Sanhak Seonsaeng An(Sanhak Seonsaeng List, 筭學先生案) regarding the status of ‘middle men’ and especially ‘Juhak’[籌學]. It is difficult to know exactly when and for what purpose the Sanhak Seonsaeng An was written because there is no preface, introduction, or publication record. It began to be included in 1488∼1505(Hongchi period), and its lower limit can be determined to be around the first half of the 19th century (1814). A total of 899 people are included in Sanhak Seonsaeng An. First, there are informations 1)about a person(Seonsaeng) himself and 2)about households of him. Personal information such as name, another name[字], family clan[本貫], birth year, etc., and career matters such as the year of employment, Government office career, and his status and class. The order described is consistent with the Juhak Ipgyuk An(Juhak Admissions List, 籌學入格案) until a certain point. It was written in chronological order, in the order of the ‘pass’[入格] of examination and the ‘entry’[入仕] into Government office. However, from No. 290 of 899, it was different from that of Juhak Ipgyuk An. This was because of the gap between the ‘pass’ of examination and the ‘entry’ into Government office. Even if some people has passed the examination in the same year, the year of ‘entry’ into Government office may vary depending on his grades, and there can be some cases where he could not enter the Government office. Their Government office careers shows that they have entered various Government offices as well as the Sanhak Cheong[算學廳] of Hojo[戶曹]. There were 23 cases in which he was promoted to Tangsangkwan[堂上官]. And they moved on to other departments in Chapkwa[雜科] or advanced to Mukwa[武科] and Samashi[司馬試]. It can be seen that they wanted to raise their social status through move to other departments and pass of high level examinations.
