Abstract

This study examined the Hagdong Seowon incident of Andong in 1738. The incident means that Sarim of Namin Party abolished violently the Hagdong Seowon(鶴東書院) in 1738 (the 14th year of Youngjo reign) which had been established in Beobseong-dong(法城洞) of Andong-bu for the principal memory of Kim Sang-heon. This incident was a collision caused by Noron party which had intended to establish a seowon as their own stronghold in Andong. Actually, Andong had been the stronghold of Namin Party. The first attempt to establish a seowon for the memory of Kim Sang-Heon(金尙憲) was in 1721. At that time, the attempt by Kim Jin-ok(金鎭玉), a local officer in Andong, was failed. Although Lee Deo-bu, a local officer, and Kang Won-il(姜元一), a gentry of Noron party, tried again, the attempts were frustrated for the resistance of Namin gentry. The establishment of Seowon for the memory of Kim Sang-heon was possible by Yu Chuk-gi(兪拓基) and Eo Yu-Yong(魚有龍) in 1738. Yu was assigned as a provincial governor and Eo was joined as a local officer in Andong. Then, Kang Won-Il from Kang family of Jinju which had based in Beobjon, Ahn Taeg-Jun(安宅駿) from Ahn family of Sunheong which had based in Gagu, and Sin Sa-Guk(申思國) from Sin family of Pyungsan took central roles in Noron party of Andong. However, the Andong Gam-young and Andong-bu were wholly responsible for financial support for the Noron in Andong. Although some Noron members of Andong involved in the attempt to establish Hagdong Seowon in order to 'prevent the occurrence of a rebellion such as Musin Revolt in Andong', Yu Chuk-gi and Eo Yu-Yong took key roles in the establishment of the Seowon. Noron members of Andong who had supported the establishment insisted that those involved in abolition of the Seowon were the force in the deception by Musin Revolt(戊申亂) suspecter. However, most of the opposition force against the Seowon establishment were those who had raised an volunteering army during Musin Revolt. Therefore, only two of those involved in abolition of the Seowon were sent into exile. On the other hand, Yu Chuk-gu and Eo Yu-ryong who had enforced the establishment were dismissed from official positions, which resulted in unfavorable situation to supporters of the Seowon establishment. In fact, the decision of King Youngjo was reflected in the result. King Youngjo had taken notice of political trend in Youngnam province after Musin Revolt in 1728. King Youngjo was concerned that Youngnam force would break out rebellion for profound distrust to the central government. For those reasons, the incident was wrapped up with the punishment to the provincial governor and the leader of abolition.
