『高山誌』(1964) 편찬과 고산지역 艮齋門人의 역할

Abstract

Ganjae School in Gosan area published 『Gosanji』 in 1964. At that time Gosan lost it's administrative position, because of reorganization of the nation's provincial government system in 1895 and inclusion to Wanju province in 1935. However, Gosan's residents have maintained local identity themselves. To remember their local history and culture, they decided to compile 『Gosanji』 and work together. Ganjae School tried to succeed to Confucian tradition. For this the member of Ganjae School who protected Confucian values and dignity collected writings about their own region and compiled the materials into a book. More important thing is that they also recognized Korea's tumultuous modern history as the continuity of history, not the age of discontinuity. The composition of 『Gosanji』 almost resembles a Uepji(town chronicles) published in period of the Joseon dynasty. However, As for persons included in 『Gosanji』, there was a gap between 『Gosanji』 and other Uepji, furthermore character and emphasis is very different. The persons of 80% included in 『Gosanji』 lived in the 19th century. In the end, 『Gosanji』 could be a record of people in local history.
