16세기 성주목 향리의 조직구조와 사회적 위상 : 『묵재일기』를 중심으로 = The Hyangri Clerks of the Seongju area and their Social Position in the 16th century

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Hyangri system of the Chosun dynasty was based on the Sam-Ban system which had been developed since the middle stage of the Koryo dynasty period. Six chambers(the Yuk-bang/六房 offices,) were established to serve as adjutants to the local prefect(magistrate), and the Gigwan/記官 clerks were put in charge of e administration. The Hyangri clerks who were stationed at the Six chambers were subordinates to the Three Cong-Hyeong/三公兄 figures, but reported derectly to the prefect with local administration issues.
The Hyangri clerks of the Seonju-mok area in the 16th century were in charge of taxation and transportation. And they were also in charge of receiving guest officials and visitors, security details, social relief orders and medical care. Tasks for the Hyangri clerks were fairly diverse, and the clerks were trained and organized to handle hem professionally.
The Hyangri clerks were in a position to lay out obligations for the Sajok scholar-officials, because the scholar-officials were also under orders to pay taxes, and the clerks were the ones who were overseeing the process. As a result the scholar-officials had to approve the influence of the clerks, and the prefects of the Gun or Hyeon areas were even protecting the clerk class from the scholar-officials in order to secure an environment for stable local ruling.
