ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to identify the publishing culture activities at Milyang area in the Gyeongsang region. Among them, we covered the printing culture of the Milyang region, which is well known as the home of the Pyochung Temple, one of our three traditional cultures Yeungnamroo and Samyungdaesa so on. Buddhism flourished early in Milyang, and Confucianism and classical science developed together in the Joseon Dynasty. As a result of the study, temples began to be published early on in Milyang, with temples focusing on the temple. From the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty to the end of the 19th century, publishing activities continued in this area. Also, the publishing activities of government offices continued until the 17th century with the publication of Confucian books and materials centered around the 15th century. Later in the late Joseon Dynasty, private publishing activities flourished as the demand for books in government offices moved to private houses. There were also many publishing activities in various places, such as Seowon, Jaesa, Hyanggyo, and Nujeong. Of the 113 books published in Milyang, 93 (82.3 %) were woodblock-printed. However, after the 19th century, 20 species (17.7%) of wooden type were published. This showed that private publishing preferred moer cheaper and efficient wooden type printing.
