15-17세기 光山金氏 禮安派의 田畓所有樣相의 변화

Abstract

This study is to define the meaning of location and size of the farmland, its trade, management and operation : by using the Kwangsan Kim Ye-Ahn Clan's Bunjaegi(document of property inheritance), and compared with the actual condition of the farmland in the late Chosŏn Dynasty. In the 15th century, the farmland was concentrated on the residence where Kwangsan Kim Ye-Ahn Clan lived and they usually acquired by inheritance. In the 16th century, the farmland expanded to the Gyeongsang-do until northern part and the southern part, the Chungcheong area and Gyeonggi-do, not only an inheritance but also reclamation or a purchase as well was one in the method which secures the farmland. The total area of their farmland broadened gradually, Ye-Ahn occupied late 30 percent of the farmland, and the rest of other place other areas of it were gradually broaden, too. Accordingly the Kwangsan Kim Ye-Ahn Clan concentrated on their farmland mainly the residence, but as the phase of the family became higher they widened their farmland through marriages with a various distinguished families. They also acquired their farmland by reclamation and purchase. From 17th century, the farmland was concentrated on and around the residence of Ye-Ahn again, they secured the many farmlands. This reasons are followed as below. Frist, this clan hardly had a chance to be a central official position they couldn't possess other areas of farmlands. Second, the average distribution of property disappeared, and the property was concentrated to the eldest son. Third, because the Yeongnam Sajok(local elites) was separated from the center, they could not strengthen their power in other areas. This study will be able to guess the social and economic status of this clan. Also with analyzing the Bunjaegi and the farmland trade record of the different family, it is possible to explain the economic part of Sajok if the meaning of the actual situation for farmland can be revealed.
