조선후기 호적자료를 통해 본 사노비의 존재양태 - 대구 경주최씨가를 중심으로 State of Private Servants in the Late Joseon Period Revealed through the Register of Gyeongju Choi Family원문보기
호적자료의 사노비에 대한 기록은 시기와 지역, 그리고 가문에 따라 형식에 있어서만 아니라 그 내용에 있어서도 상당한 편차를 보인다. 이 같은 문제는 호적이 부세자원의 파악이라는 국가적인 입장만이 아니라 이에 대한 민의 대응이 적절하게 타협된 산물이기 때문이다. 호적이 현실을 정직하게 반영하고 있다는 것은 큰 오해일 뿐이다.
결국 조선후기 호구, 호적자료에서의 노비 존재의 표기와 부모의 신분 등은 극히 혼란스럽고 무원칙하다. 이것은 단순한 불성실이나 노비 파악의 어려움에서 기인하였던 것이 아니라 노비 소유주가 이를 통해 국가의 노비정책과 호구정책에 대응하고자 하였던 의도적인 조치였던 것으로 보인다. 따라서 호구 또는 호적 자료의 이용은 자료가 가지는 이러한 특성과 한계에 대한 충분한 이해와 고려가 전제되어야 할 것이다.

This is a study addressing the state of private servants in the Late Jeseon Period revealed through the register of Gyeongju Choi family. Records on private servants vary significantly both in forms and content, depending on periods. regions, and families. This difference results from the fact that family registers are the products of a compromise between the nation"s interest in identifying its revenue sources and the general public"s reaction to the policy. Therefore, it is a grave misunderstanding that family registers reflect the reality of the time faithfully. The register of Gyeongju Choi family showed different names referring to servants. They were under the names such as Angyeok, Jakho, Ibho, Gakho, residing in (names of specific regions), runaways, Bulmyeong, or obscure. etc. The number of servants under these names reveals drastic rises and declines. depending on the recording years and sometimes there were different names referring to the same cases. Especially, Bulmyeong refers to servants for whom the types of the state were not clearly specified. They represented approximately 30% of the total servants on average, but in some years, all servants were referred to as Bulmyeong. This category amounted to as much as 60% among fathers of servants. This means that information on the social positions of servants and their parents was deliberately distorted by their masters or their existence itself was concealed. In conclusion, information on the state of servants and social positions of their parents revealed through census records and family registers of the late Joseon Period is very confusing and has no fixed standards. This does not simply come from lack of integrity in recording or difficulty in acquiring information. It seems to be a result of deliberate efforts for owners of servants to react to the nation"s policy on servants and census-taking. Therefore, when utilizing information of census-taking or family registers, researchers need to understand and take into consideration the characteristics and limitations of data.
