조성당 김택룡의 인맥 기반과 문학 네트워크

Abstract

Through a cross-analysis of the literary collections and diaries of Kim Taek-ryong (1547-1627), a classical scholar from Yean, Gyeongsang Province, this study aims to first examine his network of connections throughout his life, and then to explore the characteristics and formation of his literary network. In Kim Taek-ryong’s network, apart from blood and marriage networks, his teachers Jo Mok (1524-1606) and Geum Nan-su (1530-1604) formed the basic axis. Those with whom they interacted closely and intimately on a day-to-day basis included Geum Nansu and Jo Mok and others around them, while those with whom they maintained loose relationships, sometimes in solidarity, sometimes in conflict, included Toegye’s literati and people around them. Before the age of 40, Kim Taek-ryong lived mainly in the local area while studying and polishing his scholarship, and after the age of 40, he began his official life in Seoul. From 1610 (Year 2 of King Gwanghae-gun’s reign) until the age of 64, Kim Taek-ryong traveled between the local area, Seoul, and other places according to his official duties. By 1611, he traveled again back and forth among Yean, Yeongju, and Bonghwa to lead a local life. A characteristic phenomenon in his networking base is that when he was out of the region, he interacted with a wide range of people from the pan-Toegye school and Yeongnam on school relations and regionalism, but when he returned to the region, he narrowed his circle to Wolcheon school within the school and the Hwaseong Jo family of Wolcheon and the Bonghwa Geum family of Bupo in Yean. Moreover, in his later years, events such as the ‘enshrinement of Wolcheon’ led to conflicts with non-Wolcheon figures in Toegye school. Kim’s literary network was selective and intensive in terms of time and space. In the temporal dimension, it was the moment when time was available, and in the spatial dimension, it was when a limited area was naturally created. The period that satisfied both of these conditions was when Kim stayed in Gyodong as an attaché of the Ming army from 1600-1601, and during this period alone, Kim wrote 30 poems in 47 stanzas and gave them to a total of 10 people, including the Chinese general and the prefect of Gyodong. Other than this, he did not focus on a specific person at a specific time, but it was characterized by the fact that he closely exchanged Han poems with local governors such as Gyeongsang-do Governor, Andong Governor’s Aide, and Yeongju County Governor based on his reputation and status accumulated through his official life.
