19세기 말 서원 훼철령 이후 대응과 변화

Abstract

The Chugyechu clan gradually promoted royal family promotion projects by taking advantage of the royal family's preferential policies starting from the reign of King Yeongjo. As a result, their status as an aristocratic family was strengthened after the mid-19th century. After tracing, the Chu family was divided into Joseon and China, and after the Japanese invasions of Korea, the Chu Yu-gye family settled in Korea. However, because there was no distinct person, as generations passed, the clan was divided and the family lineage became weaker.
 However, after the mid-19th century, the scattered descendants were integrated to form a major head family, the family lineage was established, and the family's status steadily increased through various ancestral rite businesses. As a result, after destroying the headquarters, Daewongun was able to gather the public opinion of Cho clans and Confucian scholars across the country and launch a campaign to track down the Order of Munmyojong. Although Munmyojong failed, it served as an opportunity to publicize the chase throughout the country. Afterwards, Jo's descendants expanded their social network by interacting with influential families in each region through political and social connections, and each family carried out separate projects to honor their ancestors. As a result, Inheungseowon was rebuilt in Yeongnam in 1938 with the active cooperation of prominent families and Confucian scholars. After Daewongun's order to demolish the Seowon, the reconstruction of the Chugyechu Seowon in a situation where the Seowon was hardly rebuilt shows that the status of the Chugye Scandal has increased accordingly. The improvement of the status of the Chugyechu clan was possible not only because of projects to honor ancestors, but also because of the enlightenment and active social activities of descendants.
