科擧 落幅紙의 着服과 流通 實態를 통해 본조선 후기 생활상

Abstract

This paper attempted to examine the life history of the time, focusing on the various aspects seen in government offices, markets, and private sectors, through the Nacpokji(落幅紙, which is the answer sheet) for those who failed the previous exam. Officials such as Si-gwan, who was the first to hold the fall paper classified by the seesaw, pocketed and used it as a means to fill their own self-interest. The court used several means and methods to prevent this, but this was a customary act that did not disappear throughout the late Joseon Dynasty. The fall that flowed into the market was traded at different prices depending on the time of the year, and the price fluctuated over time depending on the situation of the time. On average, the preliminary test’s Nacpokji was traded at the lowest price, and the Dongdang Nacpokji was traded at the most expensive price. In the late Joseon Dynasty, the noble class even asked an acquaintance who went to the city to see if it fell in order to overcome their poor lives, and the candidates of the a man of humble origin had to endure a piteous situation in which their original passed viewing rights fell. As such, the Nacpokji in the late Joseon Dynasty reflected the life of the time in various forms in the court, market, and private sector. Through this, we were able to encounter the efforts of the court to save paper supplies as much as possible, the prices that fluctuated according to the situation at the time, and the pitiful story of being a victim due to various evils of the past system, which contributed to understanding the reality of cultural history related to the civil service examination system.
