The Movement of the Local Noble Family in Nonsan Region and the Establishment of Seowon(書院) during the Joseon Dynasty

After returning home, the local elites in Nonsan region formed a close relationship with each other through academic lineage and marital lineage, and grew into dominant families by exchanging mainly through Seojae, Seowon, and Hyang-gyo. In addition, due to their voluntary military activity and altruistic death, they were respect in the local community, which led to the establishment of Seowon and incense for them. The figures incensed at Eunjinhyeon Seowon are those of rigid determination, s uch a s l oyal s ervants a nd d utif ul c hildren, a nd t he figures incensed at Donam Seowon and Nogang Seowon, which are representative Seowons of Yeonsan-hyeon and Noseong-hyeon, respectively, are those of the Taoistic origins of Noron and Soron. The reputation of figures incensed at an Seowon was directly related to honor of that Seowon. Accordingly, Donam Seowon represented Noron-family one, while Nogang Seowon represented Soron-family Seowon. The Gwangsan Kim's family in Yeonsan and Papyung Yun's family in Noseong, the representative local elites of the Nonsan region, lived close to each other and served mainly as public officials. They maintained the position o f the W est faction in t he p rocess of East-West p olitical separation and returned home during the Manchu war, after which, maintained a close relationship through academic, bloody, and geographic lineages while maintaining a family and building a geographic foundation through teaching activities. However, after the Noron-Soron Divergence, the cooperative relationship between these two families and between Donam Seowon and Nogang Seowon turned into a conflicting relationship. Yoensan and Noseong, therefor, seems to have been a kind of miniature that reflected the central political situation as it is at that time.
