17세기 초 안동지역 사회의 재편과 서애학단의 활동

Abstract

Ryu Seongyong(柳成龍) and his scholars had worked actively during the period of ruling system of Sajok(士族) in the Joseon Dynasty. The ruling system of Sajok was established early in Andong ares. Moreover, the ruling system set up firmly their initiative as accomplishing a political task of overcome of war. This study focused on examining how ‘the ruling system of Sajok’ was consolidated in the 16th century through overcoming the aftereffects of war. Ryu Seongyong, an eminent disciple of Lee Hwang, was a figurehead of Toegye school in Andong areas. He also activated as a leader of Nam Party after Nam and Buk party had been divided. His political influence was established strongly in Andong and Sangju areas. However, Ryu Seongyong and his scholars could not exert their absolute power in Andong areas. Jo Mog(趙穆) who took hold leadership in Yean areas as an elder under Togye school, while Ryu Seongyong did not exert a strong power because of holing official position for a long time. However, various problems which had caused from the war required a new reorganization of local community. Ryu Seongyong was involved actively in every pending issue of Andong community with using his academic authority. Ryu had academic orientation focused on reality and practice, which aimed for empirical experience and practice rather than ideological debates. Scholars of Seoae literary circle in Andong areas were local gentries who had been based on local community, and leading scholars of the circle were Kim Bongjo(金奉祖), Kim Yunan(金允安), Jang Heunghyo(張興孝), and Gueon Ki(權紀). Scholars in Sangju areas worked in central political circles, while scholars in Andong areas had local propensity. Ryu Seongyong pushed ahead with the restoration project of postwar with local gentries. Ryu attempted the reorganization of Hyanggyu(鄕規) which had been enforced before Japanese invasion of Korea. Ryu conceived of Enlightment for civility(禮敎) and local gentries centered society through establishing Hyangyak(鄕約). Additionally, Ryu had a keen interest in reconstruction of Yeogang Seowon(廬江書院). Since then, scholars of Seoae School Ties(西厓學團) including Kim Bongjo devoted themselves entirely to set up academic authority in Andong areas. These activities of Ryu and his circle was not only the efforts to establish their academic position but also the process to reorganize local community after an unexampled war in the history of this dynasty, Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. In conclusion, Seoae School Ties had attempted to reestablish the Andong local community as using two central axises, Seowon and Hyangyak.
