조선시대 放榜과 遊街에 관한 일고

Abstract

Existing researches on Gwageo(科擧) have been concentrated in the following aspects, such as type and writing of Gwamoon(科文) or the institutional history recorded in law books and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. Hence, the approach of life history and cultural history is insufficient, and so, It is not easy to reenact various ceremonies and the schedules related with Gwageo. Therefore, I examined the developing aspects of the phased schedules through time and space which were composed of Hoesi(會試), Chulbang(出榜), Bangbang(放榜), Saeun(謝恩), Alsung(謁聖), Yooga(遊街), Domoon(到門) making use of various books like the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, collection of works, diaries etc, and various typed ancient documents and pictorial data. And then I deduced the daily life of classical scholars of the Joseon Dynasty, and the understanding of the day's persons on Gwageo through diverse anecdotes showing by each steps. It was reasonable that whole family's attention was focused on taking Gwageo of descendants and relatives because the rise and decline of a family depended on continuous coming-out of applicants who passed the Gwageo. Passing Gwageo and Yooga were the most glorious moment not only to applicants but also to their parents, and it is a vary useful method for government to recommand study. Besides, Management on the human related network started substantially from the moment of passing Gwageo(科擧) because it was a first way for classical scholar to enter government service. Visiting and showing courtesy to the first placed winner of Gwageo with Dongnyon(同年) who passed Gwageo in the same time as soon as Chulbang came out, and maintaining Banghoe(榜會) for a life, paying attention to Bangjoongsackjang(榜中色掌) as well as the selection of Bangim(榜任), meeting influential people in the time of Yooga, and visiting chief officer of the area before doing Domoon, all kind of these motion are a way to consolidate the human related network. In particular, the chronic bad custom that chose mans of distinguished family and selected them for Saengwon(生員), Jinsa(進士), and the unreasonable tendency of Saengsamjinyook(生三進六) that differentiate mans of low-family and selected them for third ranked Saengwon, sixth ranked Jinsa were reformed by Yongjo(英祖) in 1747. It is clear for this reform to became significant turning point in the way of selecting talented person. However, the Banghoe which the first placed winner of Gwageo leaded has become obsolete, and the tradition that regarded the first placed winner of Gawgeo and Bangim as important was naturally disappeared.
