18세기 호남과 근기 실학자의 ‘사이’와 ‘거리’

Abstract

Hwang Yoon-seok, a Noron scholar from Jeolla-do, and Ahn Jung-bok, a Namin scholar from Gyeonggi-do, were recognized as a well-informed and professional scholar, and were given a chance to get into office through the Tangpyeong policy promoted by King Yeongjo. Though Hwang Yun-seok and Ahn Jung-bok had never met each other in their lives, they were similar in office after becoming bureaucrats. However, Hwang Yun-seok was appointed to the Jangneung Chambong, and he met Jeong Sul-jo, the vice governor of Yeongwol, and listened to Ahn Jung-bok's story in detail. Jeong Sul-jo introduced 『Dongsagangmok』written by Ahn Jung-bok, saying he was close to Ahn Jung-bok. After that, Hwang Yoon-seok worked as the head of the central department and participated in the compilation project of 『Moonheonbigo』. At that time, a Namin scholar, Shin Kyung-joon took charge of the historical geography of 『Moonheonbigo』, summarizing the views of Namin, including Ahn Jung-bok. Hwang Yun-seok and Ahn Jung-bok went through a similar route in the government office, and in 1779, Hwang Yun-seok was promoted to the rank of Mokcheon governor after Ahn Jung-bok. Hwang Yoon-seok, who was appointed as the head of Mokcheon, obtained and read 『Daerokji』 compiled by Ahn Jung-bok. Daerok was the old name of Mokcheon. Hwang Yoon-seok, who had looked through 『Daerokji』, said Ahn Jung-bok described it in great detail. Ahn Jung-bok, as the magistrate of Mokcheon, thought of it as an opportunity to research the practical knowledge and tried to establish the ethics of the village. The compilation of 『Daerokji』 was part of such efforts. Hwang Yoon-seok praised Ahn Jung-bok's efforts, but pointed out the limitations, saying that he ruled too loosely.However, Hwang Yoon-seok also failed to overcome the limitations of Ahn Jung-bok and was pushed him out of office by the lower management of Mokcheon. In short, This situation was not their limitations at that time, but a social evil of local administration.
