초록

18c 湖南士族 黃胤錫의 『이재난고』는 아주 상세한 생활일기로, 鄕儒인 이재가 상경하여 京科에 응시한 기록들을 짧게 혹은 길게 서술하고 있어, 18c 科場 풍경이 다채롭게 드러나는 매우 중요한 자료다.
이재는 京科 응시 전에 대개 擧案을 제출하고 試券을 준비했으며, 同接을 꾸리고 寫手를 물색하였다. 과거 당일에는 숙소에서 출발하여 과장 문에 도착하는 과정, 入場 때 동접을 잃어버리는 등의 혼잡함, 임금의 親臨과 試題, 답안 작성 및 正書와 納券의 일을 주로 기록하였고, 끝으로 出場하는 장면과 出榜의 결과 등을 기술하였다.
『이재난고』의 기록은 기존 연구에서 밝힌 科場의 모습과 유사하지만 꼭 동일하지는 않으며, 또 그 현장 체험의 장면들은 기존 연구보다 한층 더 생생함을 전해준다. 따라서 『이재난고』 속 황윤석 개인의 應科 이력은 조선후기 과거제 면면을 더욱 신실하게 복원해줄 것이다.

영어초록

Throughout 『Yijaenango』 that Hwang Yoon Seok, a man of noble class who lived in the Honam region, wrote in the 18th century, descriptions of how the local Confucian scholar took gyeonggwa as the state examination held in Seoul are found. They are very important in that it provide interesting information about things happened at the place of the test.
Before applying for gyeonggwa, usually, Yijae submitted geoan, or his brief personal introduction and prepared for sigwon, or his answer paper. And then, he grouped himself with dongjeop, or others who would take the same examination and looked for sasu, or a person who write his answers in the square-style. As found in 『Yijaenango』, most descriptions of the date when Yijae took the state examination show how he left from his lodging and arrived at the entrance to the place of the examination, how he lost dongjeop among crowded people as he entered that place, how the king appeared, how the question for the test was, how he made in writing answers to that question and had them written in the square-style and, finally, how he left from the place and how results of the examination were announced.
Records of 『Yijaenango』 are similar to prior researches regarding how the place of the state examination was, but not extremely same. Descriptions of personal experiences at the scene of the examination that are found in the publication are even more vivid than those researches. Thus, Hwang Yoon-seok’s history of taking the state examination that are described in 『Yijaenango』 would help find out in detail how the state examination system of the late Joseon period was.
