AB - The social status of military officials, which was one of the pillars of the ruling class in the late Joseon Dynasty, was degraded due to the hierarchy of the civil service-oriented government system and many applicants for the examination. However, military officers were a group that formed exclusive privileges by using institutional devices that enabled hereditary succession. Although the war produced successful candidates from commoners, it still took a family background to advance to important positions. Elite families who failed to produce liberal arts-level students even took the military service examination to prevent the decline in their social status. The military service examination was selected as one of the paths for the elite to maintain and restore social power and resources in the fluid late Joseon Dynasty class order.
Noh Sang-chu(盧尙樞) is a person who chose this route. Noh Sang-chu, who lost his influence in rural community society and faced challenges from the commoners, followed his grandfather's lead and took the military service examination to raise his family again. Noh Sang-chu was aware of regional and political limitations. In the process of becoming Seonjeongwan(宣傳官) even after passed examination, Noh Sang-chu was in a position to compete with the common people. Also, as a military officer, Noh Sang-chu had to endure the hierarchy with civil servants.
Noh Sang-chu is a person who realistically shows the social status of military officers in the late Joseon Dynasty, and an analysis of his class consciousness will help him understand the class order that was being subdivided in the late Joseon Dynasty.
