조선 후기 사역원 공간구성의 변화와 그 의미

Abstract

The transformation of Sayeokwon in the late Joseon period had four key characteristics. First, senior interpreters and civil officials were given preferential treatment. The buildings for Hun-sang Dang-sang(訓上堂上) and Sang-sa Dang-sang(常仕堂上) were arranged together in the inner area, reflecting a higher spatial hierarchy. Additionally Gyeomgyosu-cheong(兼敎授廳), for just two civil officials, had its own separate building since post-war reconstruction. Second, the core of the Sayeokwon, the Sahak(四學) had distinct workspaces. Buildings for Chinese Studies(漢學) and Japanese Studies(倭學) were prioritized after the Imjin War, followed by the addition of Mongolian Studies(蒙學) and Qing Studies(淸學) under King Hyeonjong, reflecting restored structures and preparation for international instability. Third, separate workspaces were established for officials involved in diplomatic missions to Qing. These missions included interpreters such as Sang-Tongsa(上通事), Chasang-Tongsa(次上通事), and Apmul-Tongsa(押物通事). Until the late reign of King Yeongjo, each position was allocated its own independent office building. Lastly, the space symbolized both Qing tributary reality and Ming loyalty. Under King Sukjong, the building for Qing Studies moved to a higher hierarchical area, while the pavilion's name changed to "Yeolcheon(冽泉)", embodying Ming loyalty and reminding interpreters of its significance.
