Petition submitted on a certain day<ref> According to Sim Yeong-hwan (Senior Researcher at the Jangseogak Archives of The Academy of Korean Studies), it was usual that the exact date was not filled in because the drafter did not know when the petition would be delivered after it was completed. According to Mun Sukja (Researcher at the SNU Law Research Institute), the documents of the late Joseon period tended to omit the date unlike those of the early- or mid-Joseon period.

The bill of sale<ref> A bill of sale (''myeongmun'' 明文) was given to a buyer when a deal was concluded between two individuals privately before having a government’s warrant.</ref> to Chief Female Slave Wolmae<ref> Slave Wolmae is carrying out this business for her master Yi Pilseong. The ''yangban'' literati considered it shameful to be involved in business transactions themselves during the Joseon period.</ref> on the 8th day of the 12th month of the 20th year [1682] of Emperor Kangxi’s reign [1661-1722]
 +
  
The document mentioned on the right is as follows: Since I have many people in my family and keep encountering a series of severe famine, it is difficult to find the way to live on. 
+
右明文爲臥乎事段 矣身許多食口 連値㐫荒 生利爲難乙仍于 勢不得已 花山一道面 大路越員伏在 若字畓玖斗落只 參夜味內東邊參斗落只 壹夜味負數拾負參束庫乙 正租拾石以交易
  
 +
The purpose of this bill of sale is as follows:<ref> The literal translation of this sentence would be “The bill of sale mentioned on the right is as follows.” There are two explanations on the usage of wu 右 (“right”): one is that it refers to the word “bill of sale” 明文 written vertically on the right side. The other is that it suggests the document placed in a ruler’s right side which he was supposed to deal with first. Thus, wu 右 means the present document, which is based on A Clear Distinction of Styles (''Wenti mingbian'' 文體明辨). See Kim Seong-gap, “Joseonsidae myeongmun e gwanhan munseohakjeok yeon-gu 朝鮮時代 明文에 관한 文書學的 硏究,” (Ph.D. Diss., The Graduate School of Korean Studies, 2009), 66-7.</ref> Since I [Dami] have many people in my family and encountered a series of severe famines, it is difficult to find the means to live on.<ref> This was a typical statement of contracts because it was forbidden for people to sell their inherited lands at their disposal in the Rank Land Law (''gwajeonbeop'' 科田法). However, in the sixth year of King Sejong’s reign, it was allowed in such urgent situations as providing for the funeral and burial of their parents, repaying their outstanding debts, or escaping from the grinding poverty. See Veritable Records of King Sejong, Year 6 (1424), Month 3, Day 23, Entry 3. (available at http://esillok.history.go.kr/front/index.do). Thereafter, people usually started with plausible excuses when they wrote this kind of document.</ref> In this situation, I have no other choice but to exchange a strip of rice paddy for ten ''seok''<ref> One ''seok'' 石 (''seom'' in vernacular Korean) is approximately 180 liters. </ref> of unhusked rice. The rice paddy is three ''durakji'' on the east side of three strips of paddy among nine ''durakji'' of the ''yak''<ref> ''Yak'' 若 is the 283rd character in the ''Qianzi wen'' 千字文 (''Thousand Character Classics''), which is used to refer to the location of the land.</ref> paddy on Daerowol Plain of Hwasan ildo-myeon,<ref> This is located in modern Haenam in South Jeolla province.</ref> producing ten loads<ref> The character for “load” is bu 負 (“burden”) or bu 卜 (“Korean A-frame carrier”), which is the amount of crop yields that a man could carry on his back with the A-frame carrier.</ref> and three bundles<ref> The character for “bundle” is ''sok'' 束 (“bind”), which is the amount of rice plants. A handful of rice plants are called one pa 把 (“to grasp”). Ten handfuls (''pa'') of rice plants make one bundle (''sok'').</ref> of grain.

So in this situation, I have no other choice but to exchange a strip of paddy with ten ''sŏk'' of rice.

Introduction

1683년 해남현(海南縣) 입지(立旨)


http://archive.aks.ac.kr/Inspection/insDirView.aspx?dataUCI=G002+AKS+KSM-XD.1683.4682-20101008.B003a_003_00409_001


1682년(肅宗8)에 私奴 淡伊가 幼學 李必晟의 戶婢 月梅에게 畓 9마지기를 放賣하면서 작성한 明文.


주제

  1682년(肅宗8)에 사노 담이가 畓 3마지기를 유학 이필성의 호비 월매에게 正租 10石을 받고 팔면서 써준 明文이다. 正租는 벼를 말한다. 매매 대상인 토지는 花山一道面 大路越員에 있는 若字 畓 3마지기인데, 이는 세 배미[夜味]로 이루어진 9마지기의 일부분으로서, 東邊의 한 배미이며, 卜數로는 10卜 3束이다. 배미[夜味]는 하나의 논두렁으로 구획된 畓 한 개를 헤아릴 때 쓰는 말이다. 따라서 이는 면적의 광협과는 상관이 없는 말이다. 員은 전답이 소재하는 들판을 이른다. 이 명문의 작성에는 畓主 이외에, 證人으로는 사노 石碧이, 證人 및 保人으로는 內奴 處日이, 筆執으로는 진득창이 각각 참여하였다. 內奴는 內需司에 소속된 종이다. 이 명문에는 증인, 보인, 필집이 각각 이 매매의 내용이 진실함을 진술한 招辭가 붙어 있으며, 官에서는 이를 기초로 이듬해인 1683년(肅宗9)에 이 매매 사실을 확인해주는 立案을 발급하였다.

  마지기(斗落只)는 파종량을 기준으로 한 전답의 면적 단위이다. 1마지기는 한 말[斗]의 씨앗을 파종할 수 있는 면적인데, 대개 토질에 따라 그 면적의 크기에 다소 차이가 있다. 卜數는 소출량에 근거한 租稅 單位이며, 負數로도 쓴다. 1負는 타작하기 전의 볏단 한 짐의 분량이다.

References

  1. The characters for a scholar are yuhak 幼學, which literally means a “young learner” who did not pass the civil service examination yet. JaHyun K. Haboush translates it into a “student scholar” (Haboush, The Confucian Kingship in Korea, 90) and Eugene Y. Park renders it into a “degreeless scholars.” (Park, Between Dreams and Reality, 41).
  2. Durakji 斗落只 or durak 斗落 (majigi in vernacular Korean) is the amount of land on which one mal (18 liters) could be planted as seed. The size of land has varied in different regions. It is approximately 150-300 pyeong (495-990 square meters) for rice paddies and 100 pyeong (330 square meters) for dry fields. See James Palais, Confucian Statecraft and Korean Institutions, (Seattle and London: University of Washington Press, 1996), 364.
  3. According to Sim Yeong-hwan (Senior Researcher at the Jangseogak Archives of The Academy of Korean Studies), it was usual that the exact date was not filled in because the drafter did not know when the petition would be delivered after it was completed. According to Mun Sukja (Researcher at the SNU Law Research Institute), the documents of the late Joseon period tended to omit the date unlike those of the early- or mid-Joseon period. Mun Sukja, “Reading the Documents of Property Distribution” (lecture, The Academy of Korean Studies, Seongnam, Gyeonggi province, August 22, 2018).
  4. An abridged certificate is called ipji 立旨, while an unabridged one is iban 立案 (estate certificate of registration). This document was made as a petition at first. Once the petition is ratified by a government office, it became a certificate. Therefore, the same document can be both a petition and a certificate.
  5. A bill of sale (myeongmun 明文) was given to a buyer when a deal was concluded between two individuals privately before having a government’s warrant.
  6. Slave Wolmae is carrying out this business for her master Yi Pilseong. The yangban literati considered it shameful to be involved in business transactions themselves during the Joseon period.
  7. The literal translation of this sentence would be “The bill of sale mentioned on the right is as follows.” There are two explanations on the usage of wu 右 (“right”): one is that it refers to the word “bill of sale” 明文 written vertically on the right side. The other is that it suggests the document placed in a ruler’s right side which he was supposed to deal with first. Thus, wu 右 means the present document, which is based on A Clear Distinction of Styles (Wenti mingbian 文體明辨). See Kim Seong-gap, “Joseonsidae myeongmun e gwanhan munseohakjeok yeon-gu 朝鮮時代 明文에 관한 文書學的 硏究,” (Ph.D. Diss., The Graduate School of Korean Studies, 2009), 66-7.
  8. This was a typical statement of contracts because it was forbidden for people to sell their inherited lands at their disposal in the Rank Land Law (gwajeonbeop 科田法). However, in the sixth year of King Sejong’s reign, it was allowed in such urgent situations as providing for the funeral and burial of their parents, repaying their outstanding debts, or escaping from the grinding poverty. See Veritable Records of King Sejong, Year 6 (1424), Month 3, Day 23, Entry 3. (available at http://esillok.history.go.kr/front/index.do). Thereafter, people usually started with plausible excuses when they wrote this kind of document.
  9. One seok 石 (seom in vernacular Korean) is approximately 180 liters.
  10. Yak 若 is the 283rd character in the Qianzi wen 千字文 (Thousand Character Classics), which is used to refer to the location of the land.
  11. This is located in modern Haenam in South Jeolla province.
  12. The character for “load” is bu 負 (“burden”) or bu 卜 (“Korean A-frame carrier”), which is the amount of crop yields that a man could carry on his back with the A-frame carrier.
  13. The character for “bundle” is sok 束 (“bind”), which is the amount of rice plants. A handful of rice plants are called one pa 把 (“to grasp”). Ten handfuls (pa) of rice plants make one bundle (sok).
  14. His age is not recorded in the original text. The space for Dami’s age is not filled in.
  15. His age is not recorded in the original text. The space for Seokbyeok’s age is not filled in.
  16. Yak 若 is the 283rd character.
