Political Factions In Joseon Dynasty
The ''Bungdang'' () refers to political factionalism that was characteristic of the middle and late Joseon dynasty in Korea. Throughout the dynasty, various regional and ideological factions struggled for dominance in the political system. During the 15th and 16th centuries, national politics were dominated by tensions between the Hungu faction in the capital and the Sarim faction based in Yeongnam, which culminated in a series of four literati purges (''sahwa'') between 1498 and 1545 in which the Sarim were persecuted by the Hungu. Following these setbacks, the Sarim faction withdrew to rural provinces where they maintained their power base and ideological continuity through ''seowon'' (private institutions which combined the functions of a Confucian shrine and a preparatory academy for the civil service examinations) and '' hyangyak'' (a system of social contract that gave local autonomy to villages). Village ''seowon'' often reflected the factional alignment of the local e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
