다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is about Lee Min-hwan who represented Nam-in(Southern faction) officialdom in Youngnam district during first half of 17 century. Studying this person would be helpful to understand the counterplan and attitude that Nam-in(Southern faction) preferred. His family had resided in Youngcheon(永川) for generation, having surname Lee stemmed from the area. But they moved to Eusung(義城) through Kunwi(軍威), where his family got settled and made foundation during early Joseon dynasty. His clan became noble lineage representing Eusung district by producing five successful candidates of the civil service in three generations. Lee Min-hwan was taught by Kim Sung-il, Lyu Sung-lyong who were the best pupils of Lee Hwang. Particularly affected from Jang Hyun-kwang, he became the central figure of Lee Hwang`s doctrinal faction in Youngnam district in his middle age, In this study, his life was divided into three stages; period of going into governmental office, the time of hardship and the rehabilitation. When he became a government official, Buk-in(Northern faction), which was opposite to the faction of him, was in power. So he could worked in a main official section at first, but he hadn`t have enough chance to be a focal figure because of struggles between Buk-in and Nam-in. He participated troops of reinforcement required from Ming(明), as a Jongsakyan(從事官) to attack ascending Whogeum(後金). But he had hardship being captured by Whogeum, and the hardship didn`t end when he returned to Joseon because of surrendered military force. Undergoing JeongMyo Horan(丁卯胡亂) and Beongja Horan(丙子胡亂), he could be reinstated and finished his last life working as a government official. His counterplan and attitude toward reality could be understood by studying his cognizance of national administration and his working in country districts. He, first, contributed to maintain the nobility`s power in managing the country districts. In this article, I used three methods to understand his recognition and concern about national administration; military affair and defence, prosperity of people, education and sellection of official Because these methods stemmed from his experience, they are full of actuality and containing pioneering points of view. Analyzing Lee Min-hwan`s life as a government official and by a number of reform bills he suggested is meaningful for clarifying the cognizance and attitude that Nam-in(Southern faction), in Youngnam district, preferred during 17th century.
