[BUNJANG] Joseon Dynasty Tombs Dispute Document (Initial Draft) - Handwritten Brush Script / [희귀/산송/고문서] 조선시대 양반 가문의 실제 무덤 소송장(초고) 붓글
This document originates from the late Joseon period in the Heungdeok (now Gochang) region of Jeolla Province. It is not a personal letter but a legal petition from a Joseon Yangban (aristocratic) family detailing a dispute over their ancestral graves.
**Historical Significance and Value:**
The narrative unfolds as a plea from a Joseon aristocrat, stating: 'The individuals Lee Aryong and Choi Bongshin colluded to secretly bury their graves in our ancestral grounds, which our family has protected for six generations and hundreds of years. We implore the Magistrate to swiftly apprehend them and order the removal of the tombs!' This document vividly illustrates one of the most significant social issues of the Joseon Dynasty – 'sansong' (tomb disputes) – making it a compelling and valuable historical artifact.
**Condition and Usage:**
Written in an elegant cursive brush script (haeseo-che).
Due to the nature of old Korean paper (hanji), there are signs of age consistent with its historical period (refer to photos). However, the calligraphy is perfectly preserved and clearly legible, making it an excellent resource for students studying Chinese characters and Korean history.
There are a few instances where the previous owner has repaired small holes (refer to photos).
We await the selection of a discerning history enthusiast or collector who can appreciate the value of this rare Korean historical document.
