19세기 기술직 중인 가계의 변화와 기술직 중인 신분의 특징 -朴弘得(1752∼?) 가계의 사례-

Abstract

This paper researches the changed part of the JungIn(中人) lineage who occupied technical posts and the characteristic of the social status of the JungIn in the 19th century in the Josean(朝鮮) dynasty through the case study on the family of Park Hong-Deug(朴弘得) who was the descendant of the JungIn lineage, analysing the 15 ancient census documents as the main material. The JungIn in this paer says the sicial status that occupied technical posts exclusively in late Josean dynasty. Among the JungIn lineages, there were a few that at first produced successful candidates of the JuapGua(雜科) and JuHak(籌學) for several generations, but later didn't do. Among these lineages, there were many of which social status changed to other status that was different from the JungIn, but which the social rank was equal to the JungIn. This was the changed aspect of the JungIn lineage in the 19th century found through research on the Hong-Deuk's lineage in this paper. If the YangBan(兩班) lineages in the late Joseon dynasty could not produce Mun·Mu(文武) officials for several generations, these lineages degenerated to HyangBan(鄕班) or JanBan(殘班) lineage. But there was no change in their social status. Their social status was still YangBan. This was one of the characteristics of the social status of the JungIn differented from the YangBan. There was a reason the JungIn had these different character from the YangBan. The reason was that the period of the status formation of the JungIn was in the late 17th century, but that of the YangBan was the time of the founding of Joseon. As much as the formation period of social status of the JungIn was late, those who changed their social status into other social status among the JungIn sometimes appeared.
