ABSTRACT

This study focuses on how the consciousness and behavior of people who were exiled to Jeonnam affected regional culture and spirit. From old times, Jeonnam was frequently used for a place of exile; especially in the early years of Chosun dynasty, a number of well known government officials were exiled to Jeonnam as results of competing for the power. Because of this historical characteristic of Jeonnam, there is an argument that cultural alteration by the consciousness and behavior of exiled people had influenced regional culture and spirit. That is to say, the argument considers that regional characteristics of Jeonnam, which are loyalty, resistance, civility and artistry,In the early years of Chosun dynasty, under the political circumstance of challenge and response, there were many writers from Jeonnam with flourishing literary works according to their own interests. At that time, they could have chances to contact with the exiled officials. However, poetry literature phenomena show that there were no cultural conflicts; rather, there were literary extend and transfer between two parties. Thus, it is possible that the exiled officials were assimilated into unfamiliar culture and spirit of Jeonnam, or they became intellectual stimulants as a result of close interaction with local people thanks to their social status; but, we cannot conclude in haste that regional characteristics were originated from the people exiled in the early stage of Chosun dynasty. If we continue on the time-periodic research after understanding the aspect of the exile to Jeonnam and the theoretical combination of literature and Confucianism, we could be more clear on cultural alteration between spiritual characteristics of Jeonnam and culture of the exiled.
