This study used the big data method to analyze the chronological frequency of seafood appearance and variety mentioned by the veritable records of the Joseon dynasty. The findings will be used as a basis for Joseon Period's food cultural research. The web-crawling method was used to digitally scrap from the veritable records of the Joseon dynasty of Joseon's first to the twenty-seventh king. A total of 9,536 cases indicated the appearance of seafood out of the 384,582 articles. Seafood were termed "seafood" as a collective noun 107 times (1.12%), 27 types of fish 8,372 times (87.79%), 3 types of mollusca (1.28%), 18 types of shellfish 213 times (2.23%), 6 types of crustacean 188 times (1.97%), 9 types of seaweed 534 times (5.60%). Fish appeared most frequently out of all the recorded seafood. Sea fish appeared more frequently than the freshwater fish. Kings that showed the most Strong Interest Inventory (SII) were: Sungjong from the 15^thcentury, Sehjo from the 15^th, Youngjo from the 18^th, Sehjong from the 15^th, and Jungjo from the 18^th respectively. Kings of Chosen were most interested in seafood in the 15^th and 18^th centuries.

This study analyzed food poisoning articles in the Joseonwangjosillok to acquire historical evidence. The study method used case studies from the textual content of the Joseonwangjosillok. In all, there were fifteen cases of food poisoning in spring (60%), four cases in summer (16%), five cases in fall (20%), and 1 case during winter (4%). Most cases of food poisoning occurred during spring, followed by fall, then summer, and the least during winter. Foods that caused poisoning were as follows: twelve cases of seafood (48%), three cases of vegetables (12%), two cases of meat (8%), and eight cases of poisonous food (32%). Maximum cases pertained to seafood poisoning, which also spiked during spring. This could be attributed to the increased number of planktons as the sea temperature rose during spring. Due to the increased plankton, shellfish absorbed more toxins. The consumption of increasingly toxic shellfish resulted in more cases of food poisoning. The food poisoning frequency was the most severe during the 18th century, followed sequentially by the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, and was the least severe during the 19th century. Joseonwangjosillok showed that food poisoning cases happened most during social events where many guests or family members gathered to eat.

In this paper, we have studied Sogyupyo (小圭表, small noon gnomon) of the Joseon dynasty. According to the Veritable Records of King Sejong (世宗, 1418 - 1450), Daegyupyo (大圭表, large noon gnomon) with a height of 40-feet [尺] was constructed by Jeong, Cho (鄭招) and his colleagues in 1435, and installed around Ganuidae (簡儀臺, platform of Ganui). On the contrary, the details of Sogyupyo are unknown although the shadow length measurements by Daegyupyo and Sogyupyo are found on the Veritable Records of King Myeongjong (明宗, 1545 - 1567). By analysing historical documents and performing experiments, we have investigated the construction details of Sogyupyo including its development year, manufacturer, and installation spot. We have found that Sogyupyo would be manufactured by King Sejong in 1440 and placed around Ganuidae. And Sogyupyo would be five times smaller than Daegyupyo, i.e., 8-feet. On the basis of experiments, we suggest that although it is smaller, Sogyupyo was equipped with a bar [橫梁] and a pin-hole projector [影符] like Daegyupyo in order to produce the observation precision presented in the Veritable Record of King Myeongjong.

We analyze the design and specifications of the Sun-and-Stars Time-Determining group of instruments (Ilseong-jeongsi-ui, 日星定時儀) made during the Joseon dynasty. According to the records of the Sejong Sillok (Veritable Records of King Sejong), Sun-and-Stars Time-Determining Instruments measure the solar time of day and the sidereal time of night through three rings and an alidade. One such instrument, the Simplified Time-Determining Instrument (So-jeongsi-ui, 小定時儀), is made without the essential component for alignment with the celestial north pole. Among this group of instruments, only two bronze Hundred-Interval-Ring Sundials (Baekgak-hwan-Ilgu, 百刻環日晷) currently exist. A comparison of the functions of these two relics with two Time-Determining Instruments suggests that the Hundred-Interval-Ring Sundial is a Simplified Sundial (So-ilyeong, 小日影), as recorded in the Sejong Sillok and the Seongjong Sillok (Veritable Records of King Seongjong). Furthermore, the Simplified Sundial is a model derived from the Simplified Time-Determining Instrument. During the King Sejong reign, the Sun-and-Stars Time-Determining Instruments were used in military camps of the kingdom's frontiers, in royal ancestral rituals, and in royal astronomical observatories.

Sauna, or hanjeung (汗蒸) is a physical sweating method that uses external heat to forcibly raise body temperature to treat cold damage disorders (傷寒) in traditional Korean medicine. This study focuses on the fact that the sauna was recorded as a healing and bathing method on the Vinaya Pitaka (律藏), and investigates the records of folk sauna therapy of Joseon Dynasty from the perspective of Buddhist medicine which played a significant role in ancient medicine history in Korea. Although the word 'hanjeung (汗蒸)' first appeared in "The Veritable Records of King Sejong (世宗實錄)" in the Korean literature, this study aims to confirm the possibility that the tradition of Buddhist sauna bathing has already existed since the Three Kingdoms period in Korea, based on the fact that sauna bathing was recorded in the Vinaya Pitaka and that the ancient Buddhist bathing culture was introduced in ancient Japan. In addition, the succession of the Buddhist sauna tradition by Goryeo will be traced back through the records of 1920s urban saunas in Gaesung (개성) which was the old capital of Goryeo and had a strong tendency to adhere to traditional Goryeo customs. Finally, the study tries to identify the elements of the Buddhist sauna bathing on the records of folk sauna therapy in the Joseon Dynasty. As a result, this study examines how the Buddhist sauna bathing culture in ancient Korea, which was led by medical monks, spread in the general public and influenced the folk sauna therapy in the Joseon Dynasty.

This study aims at defining the meaning of Pobeckchuck in the historical view-point, which appeared in the History of Joseon Dynasty, regarding the periods from the ruling period of Sunjo to that of Sunjong as the latter part of history. Pobeckchuck used in King Sejong was redressed in accordance with the measurement in the Kyeonggukdadejeon(code), in which time one Pobeckchuck was 46.80cm long. It is known that Juchuck, Hwangjongchuck, Youngjochuck, Joraegichuck etc. which had been used in the ruling period of Sejong Dynasty, were used till the period of Youngjo. Also, the document shows that in the 12th ruling period of Sunjo, Pobeckchuck was used for measurement, and in the 20th ruling period of Sunjo, newly-made ruler was only used for the measurement of fields, but no more details about how long it was. But according to the document complied at that time, one Pobeckchuck was 46.80cm long, which fact reveals that the same measurement was used as in the ruling period of Sunjo. When all the measurement laws which were established in the 3rd year of Junghee, the 6th year of Kwangmu were abolished, Pobeckchuck was solely banned from its use, which fact offers a glimpse of how confusing at that period was. The comparison and examination among many documents in the latter part of Joseon Dynasty show the differences within about 4cm that one Pobeckchuck ranged from 44.80cm to 48.80cm long. But no other document on measurement appeared in the History of Joseon Dynasty, except for the 46.80cm. Thus, the 46.80cm corrected in the ruling period of Sunjo proves that one chuck in Pobeckchuck adopted by the dynasty was used as the measurement of length till the ruling period of Sunjong.

We study the manufacturers of the astronomical instruments invented as part of the so-called Ganui-Dae (astronomical platform) project in the reign of King Sejong (1418-1450) of the Joseon dynasty. The main purpose of this project was to compile the Chiljeongsan-Naepyeon, a Korean calendar, that lasted for 5.5 years from 1432 to 1438. Through this project, a total of 17 astronomical instruments such as the armillary sphere, celestial globe, and auto-striking clepsydra were developed. It is generally known that most of them were manufactured by Lee Cheon (李蕆, 1376-1451) and Jang Yeong-Sil (蔣英實, fl. 1423-1442). In this study, we investigate the accounts of the Veritable Records of King Sejong, Munjong, and Sejo, focusing on the inscription written out to memorize the completion of the Ganui-Dae project. We found that at least 12 persons took part in manufacturing the astronomical instruments of the Ganui-Dae project. Lee Cheon was involved in the production of four instruments, while Jang Yeong-Sil was involved in two; therefore, it seems that the achievement of Jang Yeong-Sil was overestimated. We also found that Jeong Cho (鄭招, ?-1434) was a scientist and Lee Cheon was an engineer in the early phase of the Ganui-Dae project, while King Sejong and Yi Sun-Ji (李純之, 1406-1465) played major role in the late phase. According to our study, King Sejong and Yi Sun-Ji were involved in the production of at least seven and five instruments, respectively. In conclusion, we believe that this study will be helpful to understand the practical manufacturers of the astronomical instruments invented during the Ganui-Dae project in the Joseon dynasty.

본고에서는 조선전기 기록관리 체계의 윤곽을 살펴보면서 그 성격을 검토하였다. 먼저 과거의 기억, 당대 기록의 작성, 기록을 통한 미래의 전망이라는 측면에서 살펴보고, 실록의 성격에 대하여 기록학 개념을 통해 점검해보았다. 조선전기 과거의 정리는 기존 역사서의 연구와 간행을 병행하면서 진행되었다. 국사(國史) 영역에서는 정사(正史)인 "고려사", 편년인 "고려사절요", 통사인 "동국통감"으로 귀결되었다. 동아시아사 편찬은 "치평요람"으로 나타났다. 조선초기에는 국사와 동아시아사에 관한 정사와 통사가 편찬됨으로써 과거 경험의 활용이라는 실제적인 필요에 부응하였다. 새로운 나라를 세우면서 이전 시대인 고려와 중국의 역사기록을 정리할 필요가 있었고, 그 과정은 자연스럽게 조선의 정통성을 형성하는 과정이기도 하였다. 관료제는 조선 정부의 기록관리 체계를 더욱 발전시켰다. 직무의 연속성과 증거능력을 중시하는 관료제는 필연적으로 문서 생산을 증대시켰기 때문이다. 이에 따라 초기에는 중국 명(明)의 "홍무예제"를 차용하기도 했으나, 곧 "경국대전"에서 조선 나름의 행정문서 관리 방식을 갖추기에 이르렀다. 그런데 조선의 당대 기록관리는 이원적인 구조로 이루어졌다. 일반 행정문서는 생애주기론에 따라 살펴보았을 때 근대 기록관리와 큰 차이가 없었다. 차이를 보이는 것은 바로 사초의 작성과 실록의 편찬이었다. 그래서 사초와 실록의 편찬을 기록학의 원본성과 신뢰성 개념을 통하여 검토하였다. 공적 권한을 가진 사관에 의해 생산되는 점에서 사초와 실록의 원본성은 물론이고, 형식과 생산 절차를 고려해보았을 때 이들 기록의 신뢰성도 인정할 수 있음을 살펴보았다. 다만, 역사학의 사료비판에서 말하는 1차 사료/2차 사료라는 기준은 좀더 개념화가 필요하며, 그 이후에 기록학의 개념과 유용한 조정이 이루어질 것으로 보인다. 조선전기 사람들에게 과거의 기억과 당대의 기록은 곧 미래를 전망하는 유력한 수단이었다. 과거의 역사를 통해서는 조선 건국 이래 향후 조선을 이끌어갈 정책과 이념을 창출하였으며, 당대 역사를 기록하고 관리했던 체계인 사관제도는 문한(文翰) 기구로써, 조선의 문치주의(文治主義)를 지탱하는 제도였다. 그 정착과정에서 나타났던 갈등에도 불구하고 정치권력의 상반된 역사해석조차 동시에 남기는 문화적 풍토, 즉 조선후기 수차례 실록의 수정에도 불구하고 먼저 편찬된 실록을 함께 남기는 '주묵사(朱墨史)'로 상징되는 기록문화를 창출하였다. 변전하는 현실 정치 세력의 이해조차 역사와 기록을 통하여 남기고, 뒷사람들에게 그 평가를 위임하였던 역사의식의 소산이었다.

This study examines the scale unique instruments used for astronomical observation during the Joseon dynasty. The Small Simplified Armillary Sphere (小簡儀, So-ganui) and the Sun-and-Stars Time-Determining Instrument (日星定時儀, Ilseong-jeongsi-ui) are minimized astronomical instruments, which can be characterized, respectively, as an observational instrument and a clock, and were influenced by the Simplified Armilla (簡儀, Jianyi) of the Yuan dynasty. These two instruments were equipped with several rings, and the rings of one were similar both in size and in scale to those of the other. Using the classic method of drawing the scale on the circumference of a ring, we analyze the scales of the Small Simplified Armillary Sphere and the Sun-and-Stars Time-Determining Instrument. Like the scale feature of the Simplified Armilla, we find that these two instruments selected the specific circumference which can be drawn by two kinds of scales. If Joseon's astronomical instruments is applied by the dual scale drawing on one circumference, we suggest that 3.14 was used as the ratio of the circumference of circle, not 3 like China, when the ring's size was calculated in that time. From the size of Hundred-interval disk of the extant Simplified Sundial in Korea, we make a conclusion that the three rings' diameter of the Sun-and-Stars Time-Determining Instrument described in the Sejiong Sillok (世宗實錄, Veritable Records of the King Sejong) refers to that of the middle circle of every ring, not the outer circle. As analyzing the degree of 28 lunar lodges (lunar mansions) in the equator written by Chiljeongsan-naepyeon (七政算內篇, the Inner Volume of Calculation of the Motions of the Seven Celestial Determinants), we also obtain the result that the scale of the Celestial-circumference-degree in the Small Simplified Armillary Sphere was made with a scale error about 0.1 du in root mean square (RMS).

고려인삼은 대한민국의 대표적 특산 약용작물로 오래전부터 중국·일본을 비롯한 동아시아 교역에서 대표적인 품목이었다. 조선의 인삼 교역은 국가가 전적으로 통제한 공무역이었으므로 『조선왕조실록』은 조선의 삼업 역사를 조명할 수 있는 귀중한 자료이다. 역대 실록 중 인삼이 월등히 많이 쓰인 『세종실록』을 통하여 15세기 당시 고려인삼의 교역이 어떤 용도와 규모로 이루어졌는지 알아보고 『세종실록』 지리지에 기재된 당시 인삼의 자생지를 찾아 그 분포를 지도상에 표시해 보았다. 세종 재위 기간(1418~1450) 인삼을 중국에 진헌품으로 보낸 횟수는 101회, 규모는 11,000근(7,060.9kg1))으로 압도적인 교역량을 자랑하며, 일본과 유구국에도 예물 및 답례품으로 보냈으나 명 교역의 3분의 1이 안되었고 기타 외국 사절과 신하에게 하사하거나 유학생의 여비로 쓰이기도 했다. 재위 연도별로 보면, 중기 이후에 점차 줄어드는 경향을 보이는데 이는 채삼량 감소가 주된 원인으로 보인다. 『세종실록』 지리지에 기재된 당시 고려인삼의 자생지는 공물(土貢) 항목에 기록된 12곳-지금의 경북 영덕군, 영주시, 청송군/경남 울산시 울주군/전북 정읍시, 완주군, 장수군/전남 화순군/황북 곡산군·신평군/평북 정주시 일대, 태천군/자강도 자성군·중강군-과 약재(藥材) 항목에 기록된 산지 101곳 등 총 113개 지역으로, 도서지방을 제외한 조선 8도 전역에 걸쳐있었는데 모두 산을 끼고 분포하고 있었다. 또한, 현재 인삼재배지와 비교해 본 결과, 대체로 자생지와 일치하거나 인접한 지역이었다. 야생삼이 많이 나던 세종 재위 초(1432년)에 편찬된 『세종실록』 지리지의 이와 같은 기록들은 향후 한반도 인삼, 특히 산양삼 재배의 가능성을 보여주는 자료이다. 온난화로 인하여 인삼 재배지가 점차 북쪽으로 이동하는 이때, 역사 기록에 나타나는 북한의 자생지는 산양삼 재배의 좋은 후보지가 될 수 있을 것이다.
