Abstract

The lineage village is a very characteristic form of village in Korea. Although it was known as having established on the base of the Lineage Law, the complexities of political and economical structures played an important role in the process of establishing the village. The continuous political struggles between the scholar officials forced them to abuse the blood ties as well as the academic and regional relation. Using the disorder of land ownership system, the ruling elite made chances to expand the private land ownership, and these became the fiscal background of the formation of the lineage village and the agglomeration. The capital area's lineage villages were used of fiscal background by scholar officials lived in Hanyang. In the reason of political struggle, the initiator came to Osan-ri in late 16th Century. And in early 17th century, with a government dignitary, Shin Kye-Young, and with the reproduction of population, Osan-ri formed a typical lineage village with many clan households in the late of 17th century.

종족촌락이 일정한 시기에 전국적으로 일반화되었다는 사실은 이것이 등장했던 당시의 사회적 상황을 반영한 결과물입을 의미한다. 따라서 당시의 사회적 배경, 특히 지배집단으로서 사대부계급의 정치적 입장의 변화 및 강력한 혈연 공동제의 물적 기반이 되었던 토지제도와의 관련성 속에서 종족촌락의 발생과 발달을 살펴보는 것은 종족촌락을 이해하는 한가지 방법이 될 수 있다. 정치적 갈등이 지속되면서 사대부들은 학연, 지연뿐만 아니라 혈연을 중요한 정치적 배경으로 활용하였으며, 사적 토지 소유를 확대함으로써 종족촌락의 형성과 확대를 위한 물적 토대를 확보했기 때문이다. 근기권(近畿圈)의 종족촌락들은 한양에 근거를 두고 있던 유력 가문들의 경제적 근거로 활용되었으며 이러한 근거를 확보해 가는 과정에서 정치권력이 중요한 배경으로 작용하였다. 정치적 갈등으로 오산리에 입향한 영산신씨 가문은 사적 토지 소유와 가문 출신의 현달한 관료를 배경으로 17세기 후반에 이르러 안정된 종족촌락으로 발달하였다.
