조선후기 晉州에서 실시된 洞約의 분석

Abstract

There were quite a few cases of the native tribes (士族) using dongyak (洞約). In addition hyangyak (鄕約) was used in the whole district under the leadership of the chief of that time in Jinju. 13 cases have been discovered. The enforcement time of dongyak varied. Myeonri (面里), which used dongyak, was a mostly stable basis for native tribes. However, the family which took the leadership of dongyak changed. During the Japanese invasion of Korea, various families participated. There were, however, instances in which certain descendants of some families lead together. However, after the 17th century, while Confucian norms were proliferated and the family system changed, influential families occupied dominant positions in each village. However, there were many cases in which non-native tribes (in addition to native tribes) participated in dongyak. In these cases, the inner organization was divided into sangdong (上洞) and hadong (下洞). Native tribes and non-native tribes were strictly differentiated in respect of their positions. This differentiation weakened along with social change but there there were many cases in which the differentiation was maintained. Sometimes only native tribes participated in dongyak. There were various regulations of dongyak according to dongyak of Jinju. Every dongyak was not completely accepted in Jinju, which was influenced by Toegye (退溪)'s hyangyak. Dongyak in Jinju was remarkable as it paid attention to the operation of study rooms (書室) and the education of the children of the members.
