The Gwangsan Kim’s Family Nujeong and Their Marital Networks
- Focusing on Hwanbyeokdang, Pungamjeong, and Chuigajeong -
Abstract
Since 2022, the Honam Institute for Korean Studies has conducted a comprehensive survey of Nujeong-gardens in the Honam region with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. This paper examines, among the results, the Nujeong associated with the Gwangsan Kim clan in the Gwangju area, focusing on their distribution and characteristics. A total of seven Nujeong related to the clan have been identified: Buyongjeong, founded by Kim Moon-bal around 1410; Pungyeongjeong, built by Kim Eon-geo around 1540; Hwanbyeokdang, established by Kim Yun-je around 1545; Pungamjeong, constructed by Kim Deok-bo in the early 17th century; Yeonpajeong, founded by Kim Hee-soo during the Japanese colonial period; and Haeunjeong, established by Kim Yong-hak. The concentration of such a large number of Nujeong belonging to a single clan within one region is a highly unusual case. Therefore, this study aims to explore the distinctive characteristics of these Nujeong, focusing on the process of the Gwangsan Kim clan’s settlement in Gwangju, the historical and cultural background of each construction, and the networks of social relations developed through kinship and scholarly exchanges in different periods.
