황윤석과 民魚, 그 授受의 의미

Abstract

This paper covers the human relations of Hwang, Yun-seok (黃胤錫, 1729-1791) through croakers that he received or was presented. To overcome Regional limitations and to force his way into the mainstream, he chose for a teacher Kim, Won-hang (金元行) who was a man of a distinguished family lived in Hanyang(漢陽). He maintained a good relationship with the noble sons who were similar to Kim, Won-hang (金元行). His intention to give croakers to Kim, Won-hang (金元行) and to exchange croakers with the noble sons can be understood in this same context. The personal relationships with which he has connected were the core human relations in his office life. Therefore, it is significant that he always maintained a relationship with them. As a result, he frequently received support through “publicism” (公誦). Publicism(公誦) is personal connections which can be used to make special requests for a job position. However, requests during the Chosun Dynasty did not involve a third party, but involved asking directly to a human resources official. The Dynasty period shown in [Yijaenango (頤齋 亂藁)] did not have a problem of communicating requests. As revealed in previous studies, publicism, was a general act in those days. So, I think, we don’t need to criticize his publicism efforts.
