19세기 경상도 하양현 育英齋 설립과 운영 양상

Abstract

This article has examined the establishment and operation of Hayang Yukyeoungje, the only village school that retains its original form of building structure in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Yukyeoungje, a type of yangsaje, is not only superior in terms of value in architectural history but also is valuable for its collection, based on which this study has examined the vital and concrete aspects. First, the study has explored the trends of provincial noble families in Hayang in the late Joseon Dynasty period through civilian army activities during the Imjin War, Hyangan and Yuanan and found that the families who produced the so-called ‘8 martyrs of Imjin War’ led by Hayang Heo family and other influential families who moved into the village following the Imjin War, including Cheongdo Kim family continued to lead the local authorities. In addition, the growth of provincial noble families and the promotion of learning led to brilliant achievements such as the creation of exceptional scholar Ryu Chi-myeong and the establishment of Yukyeongjae. Yukyeongjae was successfully built in 1823 with the leadership of local governor Lee Tae-seung and the cooperation of scholarly families. The study was able to identify the details of the education conducted at Yukyeongjae through the ‘Jaegyu’ written aligned with the regional characteristics. The educational activities that were carried out include geojeop and essay contest, and the poem left after attending the even gave a glimpse of the educational atmosphere there. The study has also found out based on numerical data that Yukyeongjae contributed to producing local talents who successfully passed the Samasi test. The farmland is found to have been 135 duraks in area, which indicates relative economic well-being. Typically, the yangsaje, the dormitory building for students, has financial and operational independence, but Yukyeongjae belonged to Hayanghyan Confucian School, indicating little difference between the Confucian school and Yukyeongjae in terms of their participatory influence. Operated exclusively by existing influential families, it has fulfilled its role as an educational institution. Established as part of the education promotion policy of the local chief, Yukyeongjae, is a significant research topic that serves as an example of government schools in local villages in the 19th century.
