Since Kim, Ju-hui(김주희) settled down at Sangju City in 1915, the influence of Sangju Donghak(상주동학) rapidly grew. For 30 years, Kim Ju-hui established a new direction of Donghak, by proposing a new explanation of Donghak philosophy. Kim Nak-se(김낙세), the deputy leader took efficient care of all the affairs of the Church. In reality, Kim Nak-se was involved in all the important affairs - getting the church officially sanctioned, construction of the Church buildings, printing of Scriptures and Songs, the mission work and the education of followers. In view of his role and status, Kim Nak-se’s another noteworthy achievement was his diaries. His diary of 17 volume set has been likened to a time capsule that contains all the affairs for the previous 53 years. In November 1943, several Japanese police arrested members, captured mounds of papers and books together with their symbolic flags and took them to Sangju Police Station. Finally, Japan surrendered to the Allies in 1945 and Korea got independence. Unfortunately the leader and the deputy leader had died before 1945 from the after-effects of torture by the Japanese police. So Donghak had declined drastically. Including Donghak Scriptures, words of Chants, woodblocks, movable types, printing instrument, mass vestments, flags and furnishings, 289 kinds of 1,425 pieces were handed down and stored in Sangju Donghak Church. These materials are not only great for the study of the religious significance of, and the history of Sangju Donghak, but also great materials for the study of the history of Korean linguistics and literature, social education, bibliography and printing. Printing instruments stored in Sangju Donghak Church are important proving material to demonstrate the printing technique at a turning point. Furthermore. 4 factors (which are woodblocks and wooden types, printing outfit, printed books and related documents) are stored and preserved wholly in Sangju Donghak Church, which has a great significance and value in printing history.

A Study on the Background and the Process of King Jeongjo’s Publishing His Official’s Collections of Work - Especially on Noeyeonjip, Ganghanjip, Bomanjaejip and Beonamjip -

This study investigated the background and the process of King Jeongjo’s publishing his official’s collections of work, especially on Nam Yu-Yong’s Noeyeonjip, Hwang Gyeong-Won’s Ganghanjip, Seo Myeong-Eung’s Bomanjaejip and Chae Jae-Gong’s Beonamjip, all of which were ordered to be published by King Jeongjo. All of them had taught Jeongjo as a royal tutor while Jeongjo was a prince. Three of them had represented national literature as the Head of the Royal Academy. One of them had help Jeongjo make a significant contribution to state affairs as a prime minister. The tradition that officially publish one’s collections of work, who served as a royal tutor and the Head of the Royal Academy, was derived from Nam Yu-Yong’s Noeyeonjip, and was passed down to Hwang Gyeong-Won’s Ganghanjip and Seo Myeong-Eung’s Bomanjaejip. Works of Nam Yu-Yong and Hwang Gyeong-Won were so elegant and sincere that there was a lot of accord with Jeongjo’s policy trying to restore people’s style of writing fallen into decadence. Seo Myeong-Eung immensely helped Jeongjo with his academic talent when Jeongjo compiled and published various books so as to consolidate the foundation of the throne at the initiatory stage of Guyjanggak. Jeongjo was so impressed by Chae Jae-Gong’s consistent protection for Prince Sado, who was Jeongjo’s father, that he especially selected Chae Jae-Gong as a prime minister. Chae Jae-Gong successfully assisted Jeongjo’s policy in various categories. It took about 3years for Noeyeonjip and Ganghanjip to be published from Jeongjo’ order. On the contrary, Bomanjaejip and Beonamjip were privately published after Jeongjo passed away. The publication of Bomanjaejip and Beonamjip took a long time due to the political obstacles that occurred shortly after Jeongjo passed away. In case of Noeyeonjip and Ganghanjip, Jeongjo read both of them and ordered to publish after the writers passed away. Bomanjaejip and Beonamjip, on the other hand, were read and given a panegyrical poem by Jeongjo during writer’s life time. Jeongjo ordered to publish Bomanjaejip and Beonamjip as soon as the writers passed away. Ganghanjip had a lot of content that were strongly opposing Qing. Jeongjo was concerned that Ganghanjip might have bring about diplomatic conflicts between Joseon and Qing, so he did not write prefaces for Ganghanjip. Since Bomanjaejip and Beonamjip could not be published during Joseon’s life time, there are no Jeongjo’s prefaces, only panegyrical poems written by Jeongjo. Nam Yu-Yong’s descendants wanted to print only 40-50 sets for private use at the time of printing Noeyeonjip, because they were not afford enough. On that basis, it can be assumed that more than 50 sets for private use were generally printed at least when a collection of work was published under the orders of King during the Joseon dynasty. According to Jeongjo’s memorandum, 23 sets for official use were generally printed at the time of printing Ganghanjip. It can also assume how many sets of collection of work for official use were generally printed.

Lee, Yun-Na | 2016, (66) | pp.305~331 | number of Cited : 1

PDF

Lee Sang Juk(1804-1865) and Kim Seok Joon(1831-1915) who were interpreters of Joseon Dynasty in 19thCentury took a part in publication of books between Joseon and Qing Dynasty. Lee Sang Juk was participated in the publication of Eungsongdang-jip, which is a collection of his own works, Cheounroisigo collection of works of Lee Jung jik(1781-1816) who is a his father, and Mongwansigo by Lee Jung ju. Kim Seok Joon published Songmokgwan-jip, a collection of works of Lee Un Jin and Woosunjunghwa-rok, collection of Lee Sang Juk who was a teacher of him. Kim Seok Joon was participated in the publication of Hongyakruhuein-rok, which is a collection of his own works. Among these collections, Eungsongdang-Jip, Cheounroisigo, and Songmokgwan-Jip were published in Qing Dynasty. The reason for they were able to publish collections of works in Qing Dynasty was because of that basically, there was an social interaction with literacy men in Qing Dynasty. When they stayed in Qing Dynasty, they were actually involved in publication of collections of works, however, they were able to publish books in Joseon as they exchanged letters with literacy men in Qing Dynasty. The reason of publishing the collections of works in Qing Dynasty was because of the social interaction with literacy men in Qing Dynasty. When they were interacting, they exchanged gifts each other and they generally used to exchange their collections of works as well. In Joseon, a collection of works can be published after the writer die, therefore, writers in Joseon generally did not exchange their collections of works with others. Writers in Joseon who wanted to interact with literacy men in Qing Dynasty used to organize their collections of works into manuscripts and also published the collections to exchange with them. Therefore, the publication work of books by Lee Sang Juk and Kim Seok Jun can be understood in this context.

This study aims to examine the background of publication and the system of Sasongyuchi (詞訟類聚), which was most widely known and continuously distributed and reproduced during the Joseon Dynasty period and to look into changes in publication status and the version of Sasongyuchi before and after the Imjin War. I have also examined how local magistrates nationwide used Sasongyuchi reproduced in this manner based on records in old literatures. Sasongyuchi was published again as a book printed using wooden movable type called Gyeolsongnyuchi in Jeonju before the Imjin War following its initial publication by Kim Tae-jeong as a xylographic book in Jeonju in 1585. Several woodblock-printed books attached with supplementary manuscript apart from Sasongyuchi in Jeonju were published after the Imjin War although its place of publication is not known. Yeongcheon Sasongyuchi, which was a script version of the wooden type book Gyeolsongnyuchi was also published. The periods of publishing these woodblock-printed books have been estimated based on the reference of the ownership stamp in the body, ‘Daemyeongnyeongi’, ‘Bonchonyeongi’, Gangi etc. since they were not mentioned in historical sources. Along with these, it has been identified that Sasongyuchi was quoted in national law books and law book collections created by the king’s command, which confirms that it was an offical litigation guidelines used in practical purposes and that local magistrates nationwide read Sasongyuchi during their term in office and used it as a reference material for actual litigation cases based on the preface of Park Tae-bo, Jeong Yak-yong’s appointment as a local magistrates and offical records of government authorities. The brief introduction of Sasongyuchi has been presented from its initial publication in 1585, followed by its revised and complementary versions of Gyeolsongnyuchi and Gyeolsongnyuchibo. When it comes to Sasongyuchi, however, it is not easy to estimate the change of its publication based only on the change in its title and presumably there were many occasions of its publications along with the presence of its multiple copies. Therefore, further researches into books or manuscripts that influenced the initial publication of Sasongyuchi and its revised and reproduced versions will be required in the future.
