乃菴 崔左海의 춘천에서의 학문‧강학 활동과 인적 네트워크

Abstract

This thesis examines the academic and teaching activities he carried out in Chuncheon (春川) and the human network he built based on the local community, targeting the 18th-century Chuncheon-born scholar, Choi Jwa-hae(崔左海, 1738-1799). The Suseong Choi clan(隋城崔氏) has lived in the Seosang-ri(西上里) of Chuncheon since the 10th generation. Accordingly, Choi Jwa-hae based himself here from his youth and actively engaged in academic and teaching activities. His academic and teaching activities in Chuncheon can be largely divided into four periods and locations. These are the youth period, the adult period, the middle period, and the old period. Among these, the most magnificent ones were his activities during his youth and old age. Through this, Choi Jwa-hae was able to establish the foundation for his academic research and writing work, and to train his students on a wide scale. The aspects of the human network that Choi Jwa-hae formed based on the Chuncheon can be largely divided into three categories. First, the social relations centered on Choi Jwa-hae’s relativesl, second, the social relations with the Uiryeong Nam clan(宜寧南氏) who lived in the area adjacent to the Suseong Choi clan, and third, the social relations with government officials and local celebrities. Through these, we can indirectly understand the academic reputation that Choi Jwa-hae had in the local community at the time.
