金昌業의 『老稼齋燕行日記』에 나타난 盤纏과 그 의미

Abstract

The purpose of research in this article is to consider the list of objects used for BanJeon(盤纏) and the usage patterns during Yeonhaeng( 燕行), focusing on Kim Chang-up(金昌業)’s Nogajae Yeonhaeng Diary[老稼齋燕行日記] . The Yeonhaeng delegation(燕行使) took various objects of Joseon with them in the name of BanJeon to use such objects in place of money in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. These were used for personal traveling expenses, including the cost of meals and lodging and the cost of sightseeing after crossing the Amnokgang River. As a Yeonhaeng delegation was a diplomatic mission being dispatched there to carry out their official duties, Joseon Dynasty provided them with BanJeon out of courtesy to those going on a long journey. However, since BanJeon were provided to them differentially according to their status, the members of the delegation lower in status than the top three high-ranking delegates(三使) had to personally prepare BanJeon to ensure their smooth Yeonhaeng. In Kim Chang-up’s Yeonhaeng record he wrote while accompanying the Yeonhaeng delegation as a military officer in 1712, various objects he took with him are listed as the terms for BanJeon, together with written specific usage patterns, thereby drawing attention. This article reveals that Kim Chang-up’s BanJeon originated from his family, and examines in detail such objects as pills(丸藥), paper(紙), folding fans(扇), tobaccos(南草), tobacco pipes(烟竹), writing brushes(筆), ink sticks(墨), iron(火鐵), swords(鞘刀), silver(銀), and dry food(乾糧), which were used as BanJeon. The usage patterns of BanJeon were examined by dividing them into the purpose of meals and lodging and the purpose of sightseeing. As a result, it has been found that the BanJeon used for the cost of meals and lodging were used when his travel route was different from that of the chief delegate for other reasons. The BanJeon used for sightseeing were classified into seven categories according to their detailed purposes: gifting(膳物), rewarding(謝禮), purchasing(購入), amusement(娛樂), solicitation( 請託), charity(積善), and extortion(喝取). It has been confirmed that a lot of BanJeon were used for sightseeing, as the purpose of Kim Chang-up accompanying the Yeonhaeng delegation was sightseeing in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. Through this article, the author would like to further consider the personal expenses in Yeonhaeng, which have not received much attention so far, and use it as a leap forward to look at the reality of Yeonhaeng in a broader way.
