17세기 전라도 泰仁의 사족과 武城書院의 位格 변화

Abstract

During the Joseon Dynasty, Museong seowon was located in Taein- hyeon, but now it is located in Chilbo-myeon, Jeongeup-si. Museong Seowon was constructed in 1615. At the time of its construction, it was named Taesan Seowon. Taein people built Taesansa for Choi Chi-won, and expanded Taesansa to build Taesansa Seowon. Then, the plaque of Sinjam, who was appointed as Taesan's prefectural governor, was enshrined to commemorate him. In 1630, additional memorial tablets for Jeong Geuk-in, Song Se-rim, Jeong Eon-chung, and Kim Yak-mook were enshrined. They were Neo- Confucian scholars who passed the bureaucratic selection test and were either from Taein or had a relationship with Taein. In 1675, a plaque was enshrined in memory of Kim Kwan. They were also descendants of Song Yeon-son, who lived in Taein, and were scholars representing Taein, who kept ethical principles and beliefs during the political collapse of Confucian scholars. In 1695, Confucian scholars from Taein gathered to request a signboard written by the king himself. This is because the sign of the king's handwritten signboard symbolized the status of a seowon recognized by the state. They requested the document which was to be written by the king, involved 200 people from Taein and nearby areas. Most of the people who signed the documents were connected to the Seo-in. When local Confucian scholars gathered and asked for it, the name of Museong and a signboard written by the king were approved after discussion by the government. Museong seowon became a state-recognized seowon in 1695 when Seo-in was in power. After recognized by the state, Museong seowon could receive economic and social preferential treatment and gradually increased its status in the region.
