조선시대 경북지역의 효자⋅효녀⋅효부 사례분석 ― 『慶尙道邑誌』를 중심으로

Abstract

In this study an analysis of filial sons, daughters, and daughters-in-law at forty-one towns in the Kyongsangbuk-Do province during the Chosun Dynasty was according to the contents of the 『Kyongsang-Do-Eup-Ji』 was conducted. Also the inflow of the morality of Confucianism into the Kyongsangbuk-Do area and the regional aspects have been investigated. When the cases of filial sons have been classified, they turned out to be various. Among the classified cases, while their parents were alive, cutting off one's finger or flesh were predominant. After their parents passed away, cases of living in a small-roofed hut near the grave of his parents for three to six years was noticeable. On the other hand, toward the latter part of the Chosun Dynasty, the number of filial sons increased. Frequently, within a family of filial sons, there were many more. The family background and social status of filial sons were distinct. Looking at the social status of filial sons, 65% were Yangban, on the other hand approximately 22% came from common people(including soldiers) and slave servants. Regarding the types of rewards awarded, 49% were Chung-ryo or Chung-mun which were most frequent, and the next frequent was "Jeung-jik". Notably, among the government positions given by Jeung-jik the most frequent is "Ji-peong" and in the case of government positions "Chambong" was given frequently. On the other hand, cases of filial daughters and daughters-in-law were limited to only 9% of all the filial persons. At the Chosun Dynasty, for women it was emphasized that ”the virtous deed (烈)” for her husband is emphasized more than "filial piety(孝)“ toward their parents which is a Confucianismic view of feminity. In terms of regional distribution, the Andong area(安東) had the most filial sons and then the Sangju area(尙州). Here, it can be noted that within the Kyungsangbuk-Do area many filial sons can be found in an area where it is more populated and were the affects of the Yangban were stronger.
