潛隱 姜恰의 저술로 본 그의 삶과 교류 인맥의 특징

Abstract

This study is designed to find out the characteristics of Kang Heup (pen name: Jameun)'s life and his personal network. Although Kang Heup was born in Hanyang-Paju area, he took his family to Bonghwa Beopjeong after Qing Invasion of Joseon and took root in the region as the origin of Jinju Kang family. Then, Jinju Kang's family located in Beopjeon took the ideology of Noron faction and Soron faction, which was rare in Yeongnam area at that time. The reason why this study focused on Kang Heup's life and his personal network is to find out why the descendants of Jinju Kang family located in Beopejon took that ideology for their family study. The books authored by Kang Heup, which have been passed down to the current period, include the manually scribed book "Iodangseojoyugo", the carved wood plate printed book　('Mokpanbon') "Jameunseonsaengsilgi" published in 1912 and the carved stone plate printed book ('Seokinbon') "Jameunseonsaengsilgi" published in 1969. The Seokinbon published in 1969 was not much different from the Mokpanbon. The manually scribed transcript was compared with the Mokpanbon to get the following conclusions. First of all, the Mokpanbon "Jameunseonsaengsilgi" was created by adding or deducting some contents to and from manually scribed book "Iodangseojoyugo". The editing seems to have been made in early 1900s and the style of addition or deduction of contents in the editing process shows that his descendants took the ideology of Noron faction and Soron faction in that period. Kang Heup's ancestors had taken root in Paju from early days and Kang Deok-Seo, or his grandfather had have a good relation with the great scholar Yi I. At that time, their family members had taken high government positions in Seoul and married to people from the reputed family located in Seoul and Gyeonggi area, thus resulting in naturally becoming the faction of Seoin. On this backdrop, Kang Heup became a teacher for Kim Jang-Seng and got good relation with his students. When in Seonggyungwan, he even submit a plead for the Uyuljongsa in cooperation with other Confucian scholars. This study have researched Kang Heup's life and his personal network for the period before and after his moving to Bonghwa Beopjeon while checking many of his background elements such as the origin of Kang Heup, his family's position, and his relation with monks and his friends as well as other background. In conclusion, even though after moving to Bonghwa Beopjeon, he had made a lot of efforts in order to take firm roots in the area such as marrying his family members to the members of other reputed aristocratic families in the area, the scope of his personal network did not much vary. Especially, while making active exchanges with Taebaekohyeon who took root in Bonghwa area in the same period, his personal network kept the scope similar to that which had been before moving to Beopjeon. This personal network had affected even his sons, nephew and grandson's relation. On that backdrop, his Jinju Kang family located in Beopejon had expressed the ideology of Noron and Soron factions in Yeongnam area, which was rare in the period.
