진짜인가, 진짜로 만든 것인가 - 18세기 ‘광노자(狂奴子)’ 사건의 이해 -

Abstract

This article describes the factors and processes that were at the center of people's attention at the time of the "Gwangnoja Incident": a real blood-seeking dispute that arose in the process of recovering the related officials and their descendants who were killed in the aftermath of Gyeyujeongnan. In 1746, Jeong Bun was reinstated along with Kim Jong-seo and Hwang Bo-in. Those who claimed to be descendants at the time were the Jeongs who lived in Yeongi-gun and the Jeongs who lived in Jinju. The Jeongs, who lived in Jinju were considered descendants based on Jeong Bun's suicide note, but the situation changed rapidly as the Jeongs living in Jangheung appeared. Thanks to help from the Jangheung vice president Hwang In-young and the chief of the judicial branch Jo Eom, the Jeongs living in Jangheung went up to Seoul with the tombstone of the "Gwangnoja" Jeong Won, which was discovered by opening the tomb. In Seoul they asked renowned men to write about the discovery. Along with the atmosphere of emphasizing loyalty by restoring Danjong and related officials, people were fascinated by the dramatic story of the Jeongs living in Jangheung discovering the tombstone and proving themselves to be real descendants of Jeong Bun, where by the logic of a sentence linking various situations that existed in fragmentation to the inevitable fate of the heavens created, a happy ending for the less fortunate.
