韓國蠶業政策의 變遷에 관한 考察 : 朝鮮時代를 中心으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the light that clothing may be considered one of the major determinants of the cultural and industrial development of a race or nation, it is undisputable that silk-yarn is one that has had a prominent influence upon the industrial history, particularly on the textile side of Korea.
Sericulture in the peninsula may be traced to its origin in the ancient China, and since its inflow around A.D. 285 according to "Sam guk Ji, a well-grounded historical book, it began to settle down as a small-scaled domestic industry.
The primitive type of sericulture, however, had not yet been worth mentioning in terms of its scale and skill, until the age of Triple-dynasties (三國時代)when official uniform system was finally put in force.
The exchange value of silks by that time came to meet with much recognition in the market, which gave access to an increase in the demand.
But the most distinct impetus underlaid for the sericultural development in the era can be found in the physiocratic politics of Yi dynasty with notable administrative support for this particular industry.
The establishment of silk worm-rearing houses, that is, a sericultural complex at local level and the enforcement of the mulberry cultivation projects, among others, played a great part in the differentiation of its structurem the popularizaton of the know-how and the growth in crops. In addition, Royal ceyemony for the nation-wide sericulture held in the Court by the queen including the court ladies, showed good examples to the people and helped them encourage themselves.
For all these considerations, sericultural aspects of the kingdom were encountered with a variety of prevailing irregularities among the officials concerned as well as harms inflicted upon the public, which combined to result in closing most of the state-run silkworm raising houses.
During the latter half part of the dynasty as drastic an administrative measure as was hardly expected, was taken in an attempt to revitalize the decaying industry, of which the results were far from being satisfactory, not only due to the
Confucianistic idealism then prevalent in the scholaristic circles, but also due to the lack of scientific technology which could make possible the silk products of better quality and greater quantity. This is an evident factor which kept the industrial structure of the nation remaining constantly backward.
Nevertheless, her sericultural development could be attained to a certain extent, of which the causes are:
1) Royal court stimulated the growth of sericulture by showing examples of silk-worm raising.
2) The exchange value of silks was highly recognized in the domestic market.
3) Silks also was mobilized as government issues.
4) Oveerseas demand for silks became increased as tribute to sucha Chinese dynasty as Ming.
5) As an official uniform silks was in remarkable demand.
6) Considered highly valuable, demands for silks among the privileged and the rich appeared to increase.
Thus, the sericultural industry of Yi dynasty, even after the popularization of cotton, secured its impregnalbe position as a key industry of the age.
