Abstract

This paper examines materials not included in the Pyoam Yugo related to Pyoam Kang Se-hwang (1713~1791) among the materials held by the head house of Hak-am Kang Seok-gu (1726~1810) enshrined in Jadong Seowon in Gimcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Pyo-am and Hak-am were relatives of the same Jinju Kang Family, but Pyo-am was a descendant of Jukchang-gong Kang Ju (1566~1650) and Hak-am was a descendant of Chalbang-gong Kang Bu (1536~1606), making them very distant relatives. In addition, Hak-Am's predecessor had a friendly relationship with the Namin of Yeongnam by having a residence in Gimcheon, Gyeongbuk since the time of Namwa Kangseol (1583~1651), and Pyoam mainly lived in Ansan and Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, so he was close to the Namin near Seoul-Gyeonggi. However, Pyo-am and Hak-am interacted with each other based on a close relationship that had been established since their ancestors. In particular, Pyo-am, who was based near Seoul Gyeonggi, was in charge of supporting Hak-am's life in Seoul and other literary activities. Perhaps that is why there are ancient documents and books existing in Hak-am’s head house that tell us about his interactions with Pyo-am and his descendants. In this paper, first of all, three types of materials directly or indirectly related to Pyoam and other materials from the head house collection were presented by decoding and translating them. And then, I intensively reviewed a scroll of poems written by Pyoam and Hakam shared in 1771 at Buan, Jeolla Province, the place of appointment of Samdangjae Kang Wan (1739~1775), a commentary on King Yeongjo's handwriting written by Pyoam to Hakam in 1776, <Songjeong> which was mistaken for Pyoam's work in 1788, and three types of <Song Jeongeonjongsiguiyeongnamseo> that were mistaken for Pyoam’s work in 1788. Through this, the nature and significance of the materials were revealed, including Pyo-am and Hak-am's companionship and poetic aspects, Pyo-am's travels to Buan in Jeollanam-do and his relatives in Jinju, and Hak-am's human side and academic orientation, also, four poems, one epilogue, and one congratulatory message (祝文) were unearthed. Above all, the author of <Jeongeonjongsiguiyeon- gnamseo>, which had been mistaken for Pyoam's work, was corrected as Jungam Kang Icheon (1768~1801), Pyoam's grandson. The reason why it was misunderstood is because the name of Kang I-cheon (executed as a Seohak in 1801) was erased from the document due to Hak-am's agony in trying to establish Neo-Confucianism, Yeongnam Namin's identity, and Jadong Seowon. As discussed above, thanks to the existing Hak-am head house materials, it became an important opportunity to understand the chronology, literature, and political stance of the Jinju Kang family in the late 18th century, as well as the handwritten manuscripts of Hak-am and Pyo-am, Kang Wan, and Kang I-cheon.
