Abstract

This paper examines the existence of the poor rescue facilities and the implementation of the system, which is now called the 'Geolincheong', which many people now know, among the actions of To-jeong Lee Ji-ham(1517~1578). It was mostly discussed to examine the meaning of his actions and stories in 'the viewpoint of the Strange behavior'. The reason is that many books in the late Joseon dynasty portrayed him as a cause. However, when look at the related records and stories of Lee Ji-Ham, He operated relief facilities for the poor people. Starting from the official history of the Joseon Dynasty, the Joseon Dynasty Records, are a record that he saved the hardest people. Thus, historically, it seems to be clear that the implementation of poor facilities and institutions for the people is clear. However, it is difficult to find the name 'Geolincheong' in these records and stories. This name first appeared in The Kyunghyang Shinmun. and The word then spread as the popularity of a novel called Lee Jae-un's "Tojeongbigyeol" became popular which was published in 1992. And the word "Geolincheong", which is based on the popularity of this novel, is familiar to people but has become a natural historical term. Therefore, the name 'Geolincheong' is a very careful situation to use as it is. From now on, we need a way to bridge the gap between the actual record and the name we made in the novel. As an alternative to this, we need to use the official name of the institution that had compassion for the people of the Joseon Dynasty, or historically a new name worthy of it. In this article, these topics in turn.
