18세기 金理守의 「擊錚」을 통해본 섬주민의 賦稅 대응

Abstract

Chosun society in the 18th century is considered as a time of changes. Especially, it is regarded as a growth process of the new social power by the contradiction of medieval times. Therefore, empirical investigation is needed to understand the various and abundant fact of Chosun society. To complete it, the case study using primary source which has concreteness and simplicity of the people for research in history is required. In this view, Kyuckjaeng(擊錚) is noticed because it has vivid voices of the people in a period of dissolution of medieval times. As the population of cities increased and economic base was made in the 18th century, islands wereturned into places to produce nation's wealth. In the process, the powerful in the land occupied socioeconomic interests and then the residents in islands coped actively with it. One of them was Kyuckjaeng. This is a case study on Kim, Leesu's(金理守) Kyuckjaeng, and he lived in 1756 to 1805 as a resident in Heuksan island(黑山島) in the late 18th century. The analysis is Kimleesujun(金理守傳) transcribed by Kim, Gwangeun(金匡殷) in 1813. On January 18 in 1791, Kim, Leesu, a resident in Heuksan island, intercepted a royal carriage and did Kyuckjaeng. The reason why he did it was the negative effects from imposing a tax on the residents of Heuksan island. They were offering local products to superior offices and doing forced labor. The hardest work of them was offering paper compulsorily to Hunlyundogam(訓練都監). At one time, when the paper mulberry grew naturally in Heuksan isalnd, the residents there made paper and offered it to the central offices but couldn't do it because the paper mulberry became extinct. However, a taxation once made was not adaptable. The residents in Heuksan island complained about the negative effects from offering paper compulsorily to superior offices many times in accordance with the legal process but it was not resolved. Eventually, they went ahead with Kyuckjaeng and appealed directly to the throne. They did not deny a taxation itself but coped actively with it to correct the social contradictions breaking out in cities in the 18th century.
