Goryeong Bak Clan Soyungongpa Documents

These are books and documents held by the Goryeong Bak clan. From the Goryeo through the Joseon period, the Goryeong Bak clan hereditarily held local clerical posts (hyangjik) in the Goryeong region, and in the late Goryeo period rose to the status of office-holding gentry (pumgwan) through military service. In the early fifteenth century, Bak Hyeong became a meritorious subject of King Sejo and thereby an established member of the local gentry (sajok), after which the family grew into a powerful lineage representing the local gentry of the Goryeong region. The Goryeong Bak clan's property-division documents, land and slave (nobi) records, petitions (sosang) and official certification documents (ipan) combine realism, specificity and accuracy in their content, making them important materials for understanding the social conditions of the time.
