Abstract

There were general Yang’an registers that were created through the government’s land survey projects, but there were also other kinds of Yang’an registers as well, which documented all the information of land units created by individuals and individual houses, general authorities of local governments or the Gungbang offices, or even Seoweon and Hyanggyo schools. And there were registers that were created by the land owners as well. Government-created Yang’an registers were produced mainly for preservation, and copies which were made out of the original documents were the ones that were actually used. Examined in this study is how Gungbang Yang’an registers, Haengshim-chaek documents or personal(individual) registers were created and used in the past. And it will also be emphasized in this article that not only the government or the local authorities who were in charge of levying taxes, but also the land owners who were paying taxes, were well utilizing the Yang’an registers.
