The purpose of the study was to inspect aspects of the society in the latter half of Joseon Dynasty, a period of upheaval, base on Tongmun that Sajok in the era of Joseon Dynasty collected public opinions. The subject was 141 Tongmun at OksanSeowon in Gyeongju that was a representative Yangban(兩班) council at Yeongnam. Tongmun made in the 19th to early 20th century was published by 84 organizations in order of Seowon(書院), Hyanggyo(鄉校), Seodang(書堂) and Danso(壇所). Tongmun publication organizations consisted of 8 places in Seoul, Honam(湖南)and Chungcheong(忠清), 30 villages among 72 villages and 75 places in Yeongnam(嶺南). Subjects of Tongmun included new construction, reconstruction, Sansong(山訟),in other words, lawsuit against the tomb, order of ancestral tablet, legitimate child and bastard child, Hyangjeon(鄉戰)represented by Munjasibi(文字是非), ancestral ritual formalities, publication of collection of works, Confucian scholars' Sangso(上疏), Confucian scholars' punishment, Seowon management and filial son and woman of chaste in order. In particular, new construction and reconstruction of Seowon and Sawoo(祠宇) for sacrificial rite of ancestors, ancestral rite attending , publication of collection of works of ancestors and other ancestral rite projects were constantly done during all of the periods. Yangban who could have social position and privilege owing to ancestors made efforts to keep rights at the community by those projects. Tongmun was evenly made out from the 19th century to early 20th century to include contents of new construction and reconstruction of Seowon and Sawoo, publication of collection of works, Yubeol(儒罰), punishment against Confucian scholars), ancestral rites and others in the former half of the 19th century. In the 19th century when Yangban's social and economic state was rapidly destroyed, Yangban made efforts to keep rights by paying homage to famous ancestors. Such a phenomenon remained unchanged in the latter half of the 19th century, and confrontation and division between Yangban were worsened to get rights in Hyangchon(鄉村). At that time, Sansong concerning economic rights and dispute between legitimate child and bastard child at social discrimination occurred. On the other hand, Yangban fought against not only collapse of traditional thought but also foreign power aggression to keep common interests and ideology and to do Sangso(上疏)activity in order to overcome the government's crisis. In the 1900s, Munjasibi and other dispute between Yangban were worsened. From 1910 to 1920 under Japanese Colonist's rule, Yangban lost social and status privilege and Confucian ideology was declined. Yangban made efforts to rebuild not only ancestral rite being foundation of thought and status but also Seowon and Sawoo, and gave reward to filial son and woman of chaste to revive and expand Confucian thought. Yangban made effort to keep rights at Hyangchon society again. Yangban kept Confucian thought to recover it and to conflict with anti-Confucian thought of modem intellectuals and laborers and to produce social problems. Japanese Colonists' attack against Manchria(滿洲)in 1931 and Sino-Japanese War(中日戰爭)in 1937 and other wartime systems weakened Yanban's social activities. As a result, Tongmun informed inspection into financial operation of Seowon to let Japanese Colonists get war materials. Tongmun showed that Yangban cooperated each other to keep rights and to fight each other for their profits from the 19th century to the 1920s. After the 1930s under Japanese Colonists' wartime system, Yangban's social activity was rapidly weakened. |
