ABSTRACT

The aim was to try to infer a role of ethical and social emotion based on the existing discussion of grasping a factor of a change in Hyangchonsajok(鄕村士族) and Geohyangyunri(居鄕倫理) of the late Joseon as a change in social․economic position and social standing. Examining social relations and background in enjoyment of 『Wimungacheop(魏門歌帖)』 , which had been handed down from generation to generation by Jangheung Wi's Munjung(門中:clan), the expression of ethical emotion like a sense of shame and the expansion in sympathy can be confirmed to contribute consistently to a change in Geohyangyunri(居鄕倫理). Expression and sympathy in the status-based self-consciousness as Sajok(士族) were feelings that are shared widely by literary people in the society of county villages at that time. Responsibility as a family head who needs to proceed with operating household, frustration according to it, and guilt for family members were also feelings in ethical character, which are continuously expressed and sympathized. This ethical emotion can be said to have been formed as the more solidified collective emotion of Hyangchonsajok by driving social practical behavior of containing new life norm and ethics.
