A Study on Annotation[Bangseo: 傍書] Written in the Official Appointment Document[Go-Sin: 告身] of the Joseon Dynasty

Annotation[Bangseo: 傍書] written in the 告身, the certificate of appointment of government officials in the Joseon Dynasty, refers to small letters on the left and right sides of the date of issuance of the certificate of appointment. In the Joseon Dynasty, the year of issuance was written in Chinese Yeonho, not in kanji, and it is also called Yeonho Bangseo because it is very small unlike the size of the text of the school paper, and is also called Soja Bangseo because it is very small in size. Texts written in Bangseo are usually written down the contents of Geunin(根因), which has been appointed in the text of the appointment letter. Until now, Bangseo has been used in the study of Gaza(加資) and Daega(代加) systems and Ing-ja (仍資) in the early Joseon Dynasty. It is also used as data to clearly understand the process of changing an Official Calendar when studying an individual's Official Calendar. Looking at this Bangseo as a whole, it is very diverse, and the recorded characters are a term created in the process of operating the personnel system and can be identified in the same way in the official historical records and law books of the Joseon Dynasty. With these characteristics, it seems that consideration of Bangseo should also be dealt with in the process of confirming the operational aspects of the personnel system in the Joseon Dynasty. In this paper, in order to comprehensively review Bangseo, all Joseon Dynasty appointment letters will be collected to examine the timing, writing method, and contents of the Bangseo. In addition, we tried to examine the purpose of the recording by comparing the documents recorded in Bangseo with those not recorded. The appearance of Bangseo was established at different times for the appointment of civil servants (starting its appearance in 1470) and the appointment of 追贈 and 從夫職 (starting its appearance in 1546). The format of the letter of appointment can be found in 『GyeongGuk DaeJeon(經國大 典)』. However, the record of Bangseo began to be mentioned in 『DaeJeon TongPyeon(大典通編)』compiled in King Jeongjo's reign, and the Bangseo method was written in more detail in the 『JeonYul TongBo(典律通補)』(completed in 1876). Through this, if you look at the Bangseo method, unlike the registration content that it is recorded on the left side of the Yeonho(年號), the Bangseo issued by Ijo(吏曹) was recorded in the Left side of the Yeonho month, and the Bangseo issued by Byeongjo(兵曹) was recorded in the Right side. If there are many contents, the lines were changed to the left and right, respectively, and the starting point of writing was usually written one or two letters lower than the Chinese Yeonho letter, and the letters that had to be higher than the Chinese Yeonho started higher or were marked higher through writing on the rise(DaeDu:擡頭) and Word spacing(隔字). The letters raised by changing the lines are 廟號, 尊號, 陵號, 中宮殿, 承傳·傳 敎’s 傳, 判下, 啓, 令, 贈, 賀, 紙榜, 哀冊, 奉敎. Spaced letters were 啓, 追贈’s 贈, 恩, 社. Among them, the 贈 of the 追贈 is sometimes marked with DaeDu(擡頭), but most of them are marked with spaces. If you classify Bangseo by content, there are 27 items including Ga-Za(加資), Deung-Gwa(登科), Ye-Ga(例加), Sa-Ga(仕加), serve one's term in office(仕滿), give a government post(除授), Seung-Su(陞 授), Seung-Seo(陞敍), Seung-tak(陞擢), Special ride(特陞), Special offer(特除), Sang-Ga(賞加), give a government post as a reward(賞職), Ing-ja(仍資), keep one's office intact(仍任), exchange government posts(相換), raise one's office after one's death(贈職), recover one's official work(復官), grant(賜給), Nap-sok(納粟), Ga-seol(加設), give a title to(封爵), Re-creating documents(修改), Renaming(改名), follow one's husband's post(從夫職), raise one's ancestors in line with one's descendants(追
