繼後立案을 통해 본 조선 후기 입후 양상에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate, summarize and analyze existing Gyaehu Iban (successor certificate) to reveal the aspects and features of Iphu (Naming the Successor) in the late Joseon Dynasty. Although Gyaehu Iban is the core material related to Successor Naming system in the late Joseon Dynasty, its utilization was relatively low because of poor accessibility of data and historical value has been considered low because of its uniform form and contents. However, it became the target of the analysis because the recent changes in the research environment have made it easier to access the data and it is possible to check certain changes in every period even in the stereotyped form. Gyaehu Iban have in common with priesthood certificate, adoption certificate, service certificate in terms of selecting volunteers. However, priesthood certificate rather has a contradictory value with Gyaehu Iban in terms of protecting the right of succession of the child of a concubine. In addition, adoption certificate is different from Gyaehu Iban in terms of highlighting the meaning of parenting and service certificate is different n terms of giving meaning to the selection of volunteers. Existing Gyaehu Iban identified 95 cases. Based on 『Gyeongguk Daejeon』, this can be divided into general Gyaehu Iban and special Gyaehu Iban. General Gyaehu Iban was issued when it met all the requirements of 『Gyeongguk Daejeon』 and special Gyaehu Iban was issued with the special permission of the king even if all the requirements were not met. When general Gyaehu Iban was summarized by period and region, it was found that there is a difference in the successor naming procedure of the center and the province. In particular, when the certificate applicant was a local resident, the time, expenses, and psychological burden required to issue a certificate increased compared to Seoul residents. Therefore, the government made efforts to supplement the system by issuing the certificate through local authorities, but in reality, the process of receiving the document of the provincial offices was selectively added to the successor naming procedure. Special Gyaehu Iban is subdivided into three cases according to its contents. The first is related to the successor naming procedure, in which the parent's consent was not obtained due to the death of native family and parents of two families. The certificate has been issued with the special permission of the king and a system of institutional acceptance was prepared in the late 18th century. Therefore, there was a change in the content of the certificate according to the change of the procedure. The second is related to the successor target and it was allowed in the form of a privilege because the eldest son's adoption was intended to be admitted to a minimum extent. Therefore, there was a certain aspect that the certificate was formally issued. The third is other cases and it was found that certificate was issued with the special permission of the king depending on the importance of the matter.
