Abstract

In the seventeenth century at the peak time of the Little Ice Age, there was the social turmoil caused by violent weather. This study has analyzed 583 key words, for 14 years from the 4th year (1653) of the rule of King Hyojong to the 7th year (1666) of the rule of King Hyeonjong of the Joseon Dynasty in『The Record of the Joseon Dynasty』, through big data. This researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the Little Ice Age of the Joseon Dynasty in the seventeenth century, and its impact in『The Journal of Hendric Hamel』 and 『The Journal of Travel to Joseon Dynasty』 utilizing the same way. This shows that a meaning is generated and incorporated within multiple interactions, through 'connection and convergence',' the key words of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The Little Ice Age throughout the seventeenth century in『The Record of the Joseon Dynasty』suffered from calamities that cost the lives of many people in the wake of epidemics and natural disasters. Then, the rescue work was proactively developed by distributing a wide variety of medical books, which made a contribution to the evolution of medical technologies. When there occurred famine caused by disasters, the relief work was performed by installing and operating Jinhyulcheong (Relief Goods Distribution Administration). On top of these, Cheiguhyulbeop was institutionalized for the purpose of moving grains in areas where there did not occur famine, to the areas which were ravaged with famine to provide relief. These developments prove that those times committed to pursuing a policy of rescuing people's life. 『The Journal of Hendric Hamel』shows that the roaring weather, storms, winds, and ocean waves in the seventeenth century at the peak time of the Little Ice Age had the impact on the Jeju drifting of the Sperber in which Hamel's members boarded. No sooner Hamel's members had arrived at Jeju, than they were transferred to Seoul and lived their life as exiles in a Seoul military camp and Jeolla army headquarters in Gangjin, where the outbreak of famine over a 3-year period made those members transferred to Namwon, Suncheon, and Yeosu, separately. The steps were taken in order to overcome famine. In the Little Ice Age, there was moral obligation toward even sinners. 『The Journal of Travel to Joseon Dynasty』or Book on "Fishing Work" shows that Hendric Hamel conducted a comparative analysis of herring, a fish of icy current, in Joseon, and herring across the north sea in the Netherlands, his hometown. The prosperous herring in the seventeenth century across the East Asia Joseon waters led to the fish boom in the north sea of the West European country Netherlands. Through herring, a fish of icy current, it was found that the Little Ice Age in the seventeenth century did not just emerged in certain zones but across the whole globe.
