17세기 영남지역 재지사족의 동향과 향촌사회 - 밀양 재지사족 李而楨을 중심으로 -

This study aims to examine the movement and characteristics of local noble family in the 17th century Yeongnam region through the life of Yi Yi-Jeong(李而楨 ; 1619-1679), one of Miryang's Byeokjin Yi clan(碧珍李氏) that rose to a powerful local noble family after the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. In the 17th century, generally, the ruling system of local noble family became more conspicuous than before the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. Yi Yi-Jeong family appeared as a powerful one in the postwar restoration process. The people of Yi Yi-Jeong family exercised their influence by participating in the ruling structure of country society diversely. In this background Yi Yi-Jeong took part in Hyangyak(village code)'s enforcement as a main member of Hyanghoi's operation, and took the lead in moving Seoweon(private academy) and receiving Seoweon's name from the king. He was not a famous Confucianist philosopher but a typical character that lived a Confucianist life. Through life he maintained a position as a member of the ruling system of local noble family through the leading participation in the ruling structure such as Hyangan, Seoweon, Hyanggyo, Hyanghoi and Hyangak, living a typical life of local noble family taking no office. In short, his life is characteristic of local noble family in the 17th century Yeongnam region.
