ABSTRACT

Jinmu Wonjong Kongsin Rok Kwon is a book which listed the names and prizes of people who served to put down the rebellion of Lee Gwal in 1624. In this study, the copy of Jinmu Wonjong Kongsin Rok Kwon issued to Kim Hui-min who rendered distinguished services against this event, was examined to analyze the characteristics of people listed in terms of their official positions and social status. The result shows that a total of 6,205 persons(1st grade: 624 persons, 2nd: 1,088, 3rd: 4,475) with 283 official titles are listed in this book, and the largest group of 1,385 persons belonged to ‘Chul Sin’ who earlier passed the official examinations, but were not assigned any official positions at that time. Also, an analysis of their social status reveals that 2,720 persons were ‘Yangban’(the highest class of noble birth) which constituted the largest group, while ‘Yangin’(free men) were 1,566, ‘Chunin’(men of low class) were 1,066, and ‘Jungin’(men of middle class) were 853 persons.
