ABSTRACT

This study examined the list of the successful applicants for Yeogkwa documented in Yeogkwa Yujib, the secondary source, and the list included in Yeogkwa Bangmok, the primary source for the applicants who passed Yeogkwa. Both lists were analyzed, based on the family names and family origins of those applicants, and the years of examination during the period of 1807 through 1888 and also compared with Yeogkwa Bo, another secondary source.The results are as follows: First, of total 33 family names, 32 names were included with the reappearance rate of 96.9%. Second, of total 94 family origins, 92 were included with the reappearance rate of 97.9 %. Third, in terms of the successful applicants by family names, of total 940 family names, 919 were reproduced with the reappearance rate of 97.7 %. Fourth, when the successful applicants were analyzed by years of examination, they were reproduced 100% until 1876 except 1849. Fifth, Yeogkwa Yujib showed some errors in recording the successful applicants. 12 applicants were incorrectly recorded with the error rate of 1.27%. Sixth, the overall rate of reappearance of the successful applicants in Yeogkwa Yujib is 97.7%, while Yeogkwa Bo shows 71.1% reappearance rate. The comparison of Yeogkwa Yujib with Yeogkwa Bo showed little relevance between them. Overall, it can be concluded that despite some omissions and errors, Yeogkwa Yujib which reclassified the successful applicants listed in Yeogkwa Bangmok by names and family origins is highly valuable as the secondary source of biographical information.
