However, it is difficult to change when something becomes a convention. Since Koryŏ was founded, it has been 800-odd years. There are (a lot of) families who upgraded from a low status to aristocracy, and their prestige positions have been inherited by generations. Their moral merits and achievements are so great that it is sufficient to glorify and illuminate historical books. How could that be inferior to the descendants of the Chinese prestige families like Cui(崔), Lu(盧), Wang(王), Xie(謝)? Let alone that Chosŏn is a more civilized dynasty than Koryŏ. The sage king of Sejong ascended the throne and became the instructor of Chosŏn people. He adopted rituals, laws, and Confucianism to rule the country. As a consequence, every scholar-official is literary and moral. (They are truly illuminated by) the high attainments. Therefore, if someone is crude and unlearned, then people will call him a savage as if Wu people call Chu people Cangchu(傖楚)<ref>魏晋南北朝时,吴人以上国自居,鄙视楚人粗伧,谓之“伧楚”。因亦用为楚人的代称。</ref>; if one makes a small mistake in terms of marriage, he will be treated as a barbarian; and if one has any stained behaviour, he will be isolated by others. Moreover, military men and businessmen are also low people as well even though they were born in scholar-officials' families. Certainly, there are tremendous obstacles for those people if they want to become a scholar-official. They have to commit themselves to study literature, do righteousness, cultivate themselves, regulate the family, and then they are able to behave (as a human being) in the world(行世?). Therefore, all behaviors like going into or withdrawing from the officialdom, active and passive motions will be pointed out by other people. | However, it is difficult to change when something becomes a convention.

No one could arrive at perfection in everything. As a consequence, partial opinions repeatedly occur, resulting in that even the sages cannot persuade people, unfilial people can easily hide (in the world). And then it becomes much more difficult for scholar-officials to behave themselves and establish the fame (行身立名). Thereupon, the system of the sate put weight on scholar-officials but not employ the severe punishment. So (there is room) for wicked people to get success, and even abuse public power to retaliate against a personal enemy. The literati purges(搢紳之禍) frequently happens. These mean people abandon scholars who have no frame, be vigilant against those who got a frame. Should they feel vigilant, they must slaughter the scholars(無名則見棄得名則見忌忌則必殺之). How difficult it is to be a scholar in our country. Moreover, when their vigilance declines, the debate about right and wrong use to come up. When the debate becomes more and more intense, the vigilance would be more severe. As a result, people will kill each other, (which is internecine). |

Yi Junghwan(李重煥)[1] says: our country is located outside of China. Our people were not involved in when the emperor of Xia granted surnames to his people, (according to the records) in Tribute of Yu 禹貢[2]. In other words, we have an independent nation in the east of China. However, the descendants of Kija became Sŏnu(鮮于); the descendants of Koguryŏ (高句麗) became the ancestors of Ko(高) family; and the kings of Shilla(新羅) assigned Park(朴), Seog(昔), Kim(金) to his people, and the king of Kaya[3] gave themselves the surname of Kim(金). These are all called aristocratic surnames. Since the end of Shilla, our state has started to communicate with China. From then on, people began to give surnames to themselves. However, only a few officials and prestige families had their own surnames while the commoners did not. Down to the time when Koryŏ united the three kingdoms, (the king) imported Chinese surnames and granted them to people throughout the country so everyone got a surname from that time. Before the king granted surnames, there had been diverse factions and clans. People regard the one from the same ancestral seat as their clansman. If one is from a different ancestral seat but with the same surname, people (usually) do not take him as a clansman of their family. Therefore intermarriage is allowed between people with the same surname since they are considered from different clans. However, why people think the surnames granted by the king of Koryŏ are particularly distinguished? Nowadays, that officials and scholars use that excuse and distinguish themselves from each other makes me so confused. Since Chosŏn was founded with proper justification(名分), the term of scholar-officials(士大夫) are (overly) emphasized. As a consequence, when recruiting officials, the court still exclusively give privileges to power families. The royal family and scholar-officials are the base of the gentry of the dynasty; the group below scholar-officials comprises diverse officials including bureaucratic ranked officials,[4], expectant appointees[5] and personnel managers[6]; the lower is secondary sons of yangban fathers, military officials, interpreters, accountants, doctors and noncommissioned officials, who are the people wandering outside of the (core) bureaucratic system; then who is lower than the above are petty officials, soldiers, and commoners; and people at the bottom are public and private slaves. People from slaves to petty officials outside the capital consist the stratification of the lowborn; secondary sons and officials with miscellaneous posts are comprised of the middle stratification; officials with formal bureaucratic rank and scholar-officials belong to yangban, which could be divided into two minor stratifications again--the scholar-official families can be grouped as power clans and prestige clans, according to different criteria, of which the branches are fairly complicated and (usually) do not communicate with each other. Due to this barrier, the scholar-official families cannot not bear the changes and decline. |

Therefore, occasionally the scholar-officials use to downgrade shift to commoners, and the commoners are also able to gradually upgrade to scholar-officials. Therefore, the Sŏnu(鮮于) families used to be ranked officials in Pyongyang and then collapsed that there is no scholar-official born in that family. Seog(昔) family and Ko(高) family have no descendants and only Shilla Park(朴) family and Kaya Kim(金) family are still continuing their noble status ascending up to the royal lineage. These two clans are exactly the distinct in our state. Moreover, there are also a number of Chinese people remained in our country. For example, there were ones following Jija, ones coming with Wiman(衛滿), and those who accompanied the princesses of Yuan when being married to our country. In particular, during the period when Koryŏ and Yuan were mixed into one state, people traveled across the two countries without any restriction, resulting in that a great number of people immigrated to our country. As to these immigrants, they did not receive the surnames granted by the king of Koryŏ, and their family factions are fairly blurred, and very seldom there are people who get a high position. In terms of Chinese immigrants who became prestige in Korea, there are Onyang Maeng family (溫陽孟氏), Yŏnan Yi family (延安李氏), Yŏju Yi family (驪州李氏), Namyang Hong family (南陽洪氏), Wŏnju Wŏn family (原州元氏),Haeju O family(海州吳氏), Inyŏng Nam family(宜寧南氏), Kechang Shim family (居昌愼氏) and Ch'angwŏn Hwang family (昌原黃氏). The others that are not included in the above surnames are the ones granted by the king of Koryŏ. That is why nowadays when examining the genealogical books of scholar-officials, the majority of their ancestors are those who received the surnames from the king of Koryŏ. However, it is difficult to change when something becomes a convention. Since Koryŏ was founded, it has been 800-odd years. There are (a lot of) families who upgraded from a low status to aristocracy, and their prestige positions have been inherited by generations. Their moral merits and achievements are so great that it is sufficient to glorify and illuminate historical books. How could that be inferior to the descendants of the Chinese prestige families like Cui(崔), Lu(盧), Wang(王), Xie(謝)? Let alone that Chosŏn is a more civilized dynasty than Koryŏ. The sage king of Sejong ascended the throne and became the instructor of Chosŏn people. He adopted rituals, laws, and Confucianism to rule the country. As a consequence, every scholar-official is literary and moral. (They are truly illuminated by) the high attainments. Therefore, if someone is crude and unlearned, then people will call him a savage as if Wu people call Chu people Cangchu(傖楚)[7]; if one makes a small mistake in terms of marriage, he will be treated as a barbarian; and if one has any stained behaviour, he will be isolated by others. Moreover, military men and businessmen are also low people as well even though they were born in scholar-officials' families. Certainly, there are tremendous obstacles for those people if they want to become a scholar-official. They have to commit themselves to study literature, do righteousness, cultivate themselves, regulate the family, and then they are able to behave (as a human being) in the world(行世?). Therefore, all behaviors like going into or withdrawing from the officialdom, active and passive motions will be pointed out by other people. From the reign of the King of Sejong down to the King of Sŏnjo, scholar-officials experience recession and prosperousness during the 200 years. No one could arrive at perfection in everything. As a consequence, partial opinions repeatedly occur, resulting in that even the sages cannot persuade people, unfilial people can easily hide (in the world). And then it becomes much more difficult for scholar-officials to behave themselves and establish the fame (行身立名).

According to current circumstances, if one wants to go into the officialdom, he will be inevitably involved in (conflict and) severe punishment; if one wants to withdraw from the officialdom and go back to countries, unless he goes to the places hidden among range upon range of mountains and rivers, it is difficult for him to find a proper shelter. Not only are people not easy to go back to mountains and forests, but people's words and deeds are under suspicion, which has nothing to do with ranked officials, chungin or the lowborn. Only scholar-officials are particularly suspected. No matter being employed or abandoned, highly or low ranked, going into or withdraw from the officialdom, scholar-officials cannot find a shelter. As a result, they start to regret that they had studied, cultivated and become a scholar-official. Instead, they feel envious of farmers, artisans, and merchants. In previous days, scholar-officials' station were unperturbedly above over farmers, artisans and merchants. But nowadays, their station seemly lower than others. It is a natural law that things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. That is why once one obtain the name of scholar-official, he would have nowhere to go. Is it able for a scholar-official to settle down (in the world) and establish his fame, if he abandons his title and hides among farmers, artisans, and merchants? The answer is "No". The turmoil of partial opinions (on political affairs) does not only influence scholar-officials. From ranked officials, chungin and the lowborn, everybody can get certain fame from those who get well along with(各以其所與好者不免人之名目). How could it be that no one gets well along with any farmer, artisan, or merchant? A man is different from wood and stone, or bird and beast. As people (with different stations) live in the same world, it is unavoidable to be contacted with each other. Once people start to contact, very naturally, there will be closeness and distantness. Closeness and distantness result in likes and dislikes. Closeness and likes bring about solidarity(向合); distantness and dislikes bring about deviation(離背). Once there are solidarity and deviation, there is a demarcation that people with different stations are not able to cross the boundary, neither to stand in the middle. The demarcation is so clear that it restrains everyone, and it is not like a mountain or river, that (to get rid of it) can be harder than to wear away a stone. The demarcation has no direction but has clear definition that no one can be excluded. That is how the partial opinions are formulated. Initially, the partial opinions were produced by the scholar-officials. However, in the end, the disadvantages make people cannot accommodate each other. There is an old saying that fire generates wood, and once a fire breaks out, the wood must be destroyed. Therefore, if people say neither east, west, south, or north can live, there will be nowhere to live. If it becomes nowhere, there will be no east, west, south or north, and the universe will be mixed up. How could people live without the discrimination of scholar-officials, farmers, artisans, and merchants? Then the earth will become nowhere. That is the reason why I record the earth where scholar-officials live. |
