朝鮮後期 宮房의 手本 작성

Abstract

This thesis aimed to examine Subon(手本) written by the Gungbang(宮房) in the late Joseon dynasty based on the Subon, and those registered on the records. The role of the Gungbang, which was a living space for the royal family in the early Joseon dynasty, changed in the late Joseon dynasty with the establishment of Gungbangjeon(宮房田) for supporting their living expenses; this resulted in stress being placed on the economic character of the Gungbang. Accordingly, the Gungbang was established not only as a living space for the royal family, but also as an income source and a place to carry out ancestral rites. The appearance of the Gungbang that performed such functions can be examined from the documents produced there. In general, the types of documents considered are those issued by Gungbang, such as Subon, Satong(私通), and Doseopaeja(圖署牌子), and those received, such as Iban(立案) or Soji(所志) among others. This thesis examined Gungbang’s Subon, which conveyed their opinions to the King and the Central Public Offices from the issuer of Subon. The Subon are documents written by Gungbang to report and send requests to the Naesusa(內需司). The Subon in China and Joseon were not official documents by law, but were written to report on official tasks. In Joseon particularly, these documents were used in accordance with the situation and purpose, and included the contents of the report with the requests. While there were no specific regulations on the format and template for the Gungbang’s Subon, those reported to the King can be analyzed by categorizing them into the actual Gungbong Subon and the reports for the Naesusa Danja(單子) attached to the Subon. This study found that the reports for the Naesusa Danja attached to the Subon were shorter in length than the Subon themselves. The format of the Subon consisted of a total of 12 items: the title of the Gungbang that wrote the Subon, the title of the Subon, the heading, the main content, the progress implemented, the conclusion, the date wrote, the name and position of the person in charge, the signed name of the person in charge, the seal of the Naesusa, the date received, and the place received. Some of these items showed changes over time. This study reviewed the approval process for the Subon from the Gungbang to the king, through the Naesusa. It was found that the role of the Ijo(吏曹), a higher authority of the Naesusa, varied depending on the era. First, the King gave his approval to the Ijo for dispatching the official document to the related ministries; however, the Ijo appealed to the King when his decision was considered to be inappropriate. The process later changed and the King ordered the Naesusa to send the documents directly to the related ministries. If multiple Gungbangs issued common requests, they wrote a joint report, which was called a DoSubon(都手本). The Gungbang that led the creation of the DoSubon coordinated and confirmed the content of the DoSubon with other Gungbangs by sending the initial draft of the DoSubon along with the Satong in advance; the position and name of the person in charge of each Gungbang that participated in the DoSubon, was also requested.
