계암일록(溪巖日錄) (1603~1641)을 통해 본 안동지역 사족의 사찰이용 양태

Abstract

This study analyzes the usage patterns of temple visits by the country nobility in Andong, an area with strong Confucian order in the 17th century through 『Gye-am Daily Journal』 (1603~1641) written by Kim Ryeong (金坽, 1577~1641). The current status of temples in Andong and neighboring areas was thoroughly identified through analysis of 『Sinjeung Dongguk Yeoji Seungram (新增東國輿地勝覽, Revised Augmented Survey of the Geography of Korea)』, 『Yonggaji (永嘉志)』, and 『Yeojidoseo (輿地圖書, Atlas and Geography of Korea)』 in the 17th century. Based on this premise, Kim Ryeong visited temples near Andong, which was his living area, for ‘Clan Meeting (姓會)’. “Clan Meeting (姓會)” was held mainly at temples in Andong, including Yongsu Temple (龍壽寺), Hyeonsa Temple (玄沙寺), and Bongjeong Temple (鳳停寺), in which various kinship activities were carried out through genealogy work and congregation meetings. In addition, the temple was used as a means of exchange by expanding human network while using the temple with the ones-in-law formed through marriage. Meanwhile, the temple was used as a place for pleasure. Kim Ryeong toured the temple where his ancestors and predecessors visited and thought of it as an extension of learning. These visits were recorded in detail in his diary. In addition, the temple was the place where paper was produced and supplied. Monks of Buddhist temples in Andong, such as Yeondae Temple (蓮臺寺), Bongjeong Temple (鳳停寺), and Yongsu Temple (龍壽寺), suffered from excessive labor due to paper production. In addition to paper production, the diary shows that the temple functioned as a place to publish books such as scriptures and literary collections, demonstrating the use of temples in Andong during the Joseon Dynasty. As such, in the view of the local nobility in Andong, Buddhist temples rarely function as places of faith but served as a source of daily necessities and as a place of pleasure and joy.
