The King [thus] states: Throughout all ages, Haedong [Korea] with its eight provinces has been reckoned as a valiant vassal state, most eminently praised among the frontiers. If the Gwanbuk region [lit. north of the passes] is thoroughly governed, all the other regions would listen to [the governor’s] directions. Nobody else but an important minister could be appointed [for such a post]. At present, to whom should its governance belong? Only you, my minister, are a descendant of a prominent family and decent grandson. You are a learned literatus who has experienced many flourishing posts. When you lecture on the Classics, all can hear their origins come forth. Your discussion of affairs is fiercely passionate and uplifting. So much so that people voluntarily bring you wine. Your official career has alone reached eight different positions and you have struggled and maintained regulations pure. The defense of the country had once been lent to two northern provinces and their eulogy remains sweet. Everywhere you have worked, be the tasks big or small, you have accomplished them with appropriateness. I have pondered these words with great concern which did not let me sleep [言念丙枕宵旰之憂]. I consider the governance of cultivating peace in the Northern regions to be a matter of great importance. Until now, the royal traces of a dragon rising has said to be in the old village of Fengpei. [1] Since antiquity, the terrains of dangerously narrow paths has been called the ancient road between Long and Shu.[2] Our warriors, horses, armory, and weapons are an elite force. Our stations, moats, pavilions, and defenses are high and mighty[士馬甲兵之精銳, 臺隍亭障之堅高]. The army's appearance is strong and so the conditions of the state can be elevated. The air of the north is plentiful and so the signals on the frontiers can be extinguished. However, the transformation effected by the king has not yet reached all far-away regions. Already, we have lost control of the method of pacifying and managing [those people there]. The customs of those lands are half-mixed with the civilized and barbarians and they carry out many uncouth and hostile customs. Tied up with all the official records and ledgers, and reporting sessions, all the officers [there] simply proceed in accordance [with this] and tinkle with documents and laws. Then, when met with droughts and bad harvests, how could the common people not turn to privation and stealing? There is no way I can contribute to the aiding of these people [lit. 山社] and to the relief of these [ 政須實心之懷綏].

Introduction

This document is an instruction to appoint Kim Hŭi (RR. Kim Hee. 1729-1800 CE), Grand Minister of Assisting the Censorate, to undertake the duties of Surveillance Commissioner of Hamgyeong Province, in conjunction with conducting the duties of the Military Commissioner of the Land and Naval Forces, Supreme Mobile Inspector, Chief Border Inspector and Chief Magistrate of Hamhŭng. on July 3rd, 1792 (the 16th year of Jeongjo's reign).

Kim Hŭi is the son of Kim Sangkyŏng (RR. Kim Sanggyeong), whose hometown was Kwangsan. In the test of Augmented Liberal Arts of 1773, Kim Hee passed the imperial examination of Office of Scrutiny for War. In the year of 1777 (the 1st year of Jeongjo’s reign), he was selected as Censor of Scribing and Reporting. Later, he also undertook the duties of Assistant Official of Personnel Section, Subeditor, Grand Censor, Chancellor of the Directorate of Education, Surveillance Commissioner of Gangwon Province , Councilor of Personnel Section, Great Keeper of the Fundamental Laws, Vice-minister of Personnel, First Adviser in the Office of Special Advisers, Horse Pasturage Supervisor of Gwangju, Minister of Justice Section, Minister of Rites Section, Surveillance Commissioner of Gyeonggi Province , Commissioner of Seoheung County, Surveillance Commissioner of Hamgyeong Province, and Senior Deliberative Official successively.

In the conflict of the sip'a and pyokp'a, the recommending of officials [to be appointed to the office] became a contentious issue. Following this, after being the Supervisor of the Central Council,[1] Kim then became the Head of the Central Council. After visiting Qing China in 1795 and 1797 as Deputy Envoy of Appreciation,[2] he entered the Hall of Senior Officials.[3]

The King [thus] states: Throughout all ages, Haedong [Korea] with its eight provinces has been reckoned as a valiant vassal state, most eminently praised among the frontiers. If the Gwanbuk region [lit. north of the passes] is thoroughly governed, all the other regions would listen to [the governor’s] directions. Nobody else but an important minister could be appointed [for such a post]. At present, to whom should its governance belong? Only you, my minister, are a descendant of a prominent family and decent grandson. You are a learned literatus who has experienced many flourishing posts. When you lecture on the Classics, all can hear their origins come forth. Your discussion of affairs is fiercely passionate and uplifting. So much so that people voluntarily bring you wine. Your official career has alone reached eight different positions and you have struggled and maintained regulations pure. The defense of the country had once been lent to two northern provinces and their eulogy remains sweet. Everywhere you have worked, be the tasks big or small, you have accomplished them with appropriateness. I have pondered these words with great concern which did not let me sleep [言念丙枕宵旰之憂]. I consider the governance of cultivating peace in the Northern regions to be a matter of great importance. Until now, the royal traces of a dragon rising has said to be in the old village of Fengpei. [1] Since antiquity, the terrains of dangerously narrow paths has been called the ancient road between Long and Shu.[2] Our warriors, horses, armory, and weapons are an elite force. Our stations, moats, pavilions, and defenses are high and mighty[士馬甲兵之精銳, 臺隍亭障之堅高]. The army's appearance is strong and so the conditions of the state can be elevated. The air of the north is plentiful and so the signals on the frontiers can be extinguished. However, the transformation effected by the king has not yet reached all far-away regions. Already, we have lost control of the method of pacifying and managing [those people there]. The customs of those lands are half-mixed with the civilized and barbarians and they carry out many uncouth and hostile customs. Tied up with all the official records and ledgers, and reporting sessions, all the officers [there] simply proceed in accordance [with this] and tinkle with documents and laws. Then, when met with droughts and bad harvests, how could the common people not turn to privation and stealing? There is no way I can contribute to the aiding of these people [lit. 山社] and to the relief of these [ 政須實心之懷綏].

There are frequent changes in the norms of the etiquette of officials at court. We can see that the situation is becoming increasingly more severe.

[However,] It is not true that there is no-one I can rely upon. Therefore, I bestow unto you, the seal of Surveillance Commissioner of Hamgyŏng Province n conjunction with conducting the duties of the Military Commissioner of the Land and Naval Forces, Supreme Mobile Inspector and Chief Border Inspector. I hope you can recover the ideal political blueprint, think about the royal appointment, declare the regulations and vibrate the moral, make the disciplines clear and investigate the military affairs [詰戎機 lit. opportunity for war].

As to the strict prohibition of smuggled commodities [lit. ginseng and fur], universally observe whether it is clean or dirty. As to the difficulty of edifying the customs of the military, extend in combination, grace and martial dignity. When it comes to the area of appointment regarding the regulation of judging, there are only old regulations. As to the ways of applying your own leadership, you ought to shoulder responsibility with all your heart. [宜肩乃心] Alas!

Only the sun emerges from the flower’s base From the Daoist trinity [三清] comes the moon Departing for the frontier 1000li away Forever will you be a shining star.

I hereby give you my instruction You ought to, my minister, consider all these things.

The 57th year of Qianlong's reign, 7th month, 3rd day

Discussion Questions

  1. What does the edict tell us about the working in the Northern region of Choson? What assumptions did the Choson court make regarding the Northern region of Choson? Do you think the Northern region occupied a special position in Choson's history? If so, a special position of what nature?
  2. How long would it take for Yôngjo (RR: Yeongjo) to write this royal instruction? Would he make one of his ministers read it before sending it?
  3. Was the nature of the language that he uses in this instruction different from the one in his other instructions to officials of the Noron faction?
  4. How does this royal instruction reveal the relationship between the king and his ministers? In addition, how does it reveal the importance of the frontier and the ancestral homeland of the Chosŏn (Joseon) kings?
  5. Why was it so important to Chŏngjo to create a respectful tone of voice and appease Kim regarding his appointment?
  6. What struggles did ministers face in Hamgyŏng Province? Where there similar posts or regions that were disliked by officials?
  7. What were the most coveted positions within the Chosŏn bureaucracy? Why?
  8. What is the history of Gwanbuk's status and role in the Joseon dynasty? Presumably, since this document is from 1792, establishing control over this region was an ongoing struggle throughout the course of the dynasty. Was this effort finally successful?
  9. Were the king's assessment of the province and advice more customarily requisite--thus perhaps more general and literary--parts of this kind of documents? Or could they actually be taken as the way to communicate the king's wishes to the appointee to be taken as specific instructions--which would be done over a phone call or in face-to-face meetings, was it now?
