조선 초·중기 진주 승산리의 역사 변천

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the historical transition of Jinju Seungsan-ri in the Early·middle Choson period. Seungsan-ri corresponds to Sangseungeosan and Haseungeosan among the four natural towns belonging to Jinjumok Dongmyeon. It was joined by neighboring Yongbongri after Imjinwaeran. The road used in the daily lives of Seungsan-ri people was relatively well-developed. Seungsan-ri especially was located on a shortcut connecting the inland Uiryeong·Sanga area from Goseong area of South Coast. Around 1474 was the time when the village was formed in Seungsan-ri. The site where the village was originally formed was a northern member of Yeondang, which is the historic Site of Heo dong-lib. The first person to settle down was Heo Chu, who settled in Seungsan-ri Gimhae Heo Family. In 1474 Heo Chu married a daughter of Gang sug-gyong at Jinju Bandongsanri Jinyang Gang Family and moved to Seungsan-ri soon after. As a result, Seungsan-ri became the residence of Sajok. Heo Chu, although unable to achieve his goal in learning, was merely a chambong official. But he devoted himself to his life as Sajok, and was deeply involved with the Haman Jo family members in Haman Wonbukri. In particular, Eogye Jo ryeo was highly regarded as a Saengyukssin and greatly influenced Heo Chu's life. Seungsan-ri built the Sajok village in the late 15th century, but did not grow up to be the town of many Sajok residents until the mid 17th century. Heo Chu was the first steppingman in Seungsan-ri's growth as Sajok village, and Heo Guk-ju was the man who established the family's political·social foundation. Although Heo Guk-Jue did not make a big mark in public office and academic circles, he was certainly based on the political and social circles of the Seungsan-ri Gimhae Family, who was involved in militia activities during Imjinwaeran. Seungsan-ri was limited in growth as a Sajok village during the mid Joseon period, but Seungsan-ri Gimhae Heo Family was developed as a major government office town after the mid 17th century.
