1801년의 부안현 ‘결입안’에 대한 기초적 분석

Abstract

Kim Jeong-ha was from the Buan Kim clan which had long lived in Woobandong village, Buan hyeon. At around late 1779 or early 1800, Kim sold all of his house and paddies and dry fields, and moved to a village called Ongjeong in the same Buan hyeon. More than 20 years later, Kim Jeong-ha's son Kim Gi-jeong wanted to return to home village Woobandong. But, Gang Jae-tae who had owned the house and paddies and dry fields of Kim Jeong-ha refused to return those house and farm fields. Thus, Kim Gi-jeong had no choice but to sue Gang to the Buan hyeon office. The legal procedure took a long time, during which mayor of Buan hyeon was changed. Concerned that some trouble might happen in the future, Kim Gi-jeong demanded and got the certificate, namely ipan, recording the details of the case from Buan hyeon. The document has attracted many researchers to do researches in various respects. But, the document was written in choseo (草書), a very cursive style of writing Chinese characters, and, in the process of writing in normal characters (正書) by later scholars, more than 60 charactered were wrongly written, making it difficult to understand the document. Therefore, this study tried to accurately understand choseo characters of the document, and change them into normal characters. In addition, this study examined the process of how the case was investigated and tried in hyeon office, and what questions were raised. This study is only a rudimentary research on the ipan, and it seems that more researches in the future should analyze various problems which occurred in the process of investigating and trying the case.
