Discussion Questions
- 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?
- 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?
- 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?
- 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?
- Why was it so important to Chŏngjo to create a respectful tone of voice and appease Kim regarding his appointment?
- What struggles did ministers face in Hamgyŏng Province? Where there similar posts or regions that were disliked by officials?
- What were the most coveted positions within the Chosŏn bureaucracy? Why?
- 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?
- 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?
