(North Jeolla province, Korea): Waryongam Hermitage ???, 1924. A most interesting work, printed by wooden movable type. Chuch'?n hyangyak is a local community compact a type of "village code." The title indicates it w…as created for the county of Juch?n, located in North Jeolla province. Following the tradition of the hyangyak genre in Korea, this book consists of collective village codes developed since the early Chos?n period (1392-1897), prescribing communal rules for mutual aid, moral conduct, dispute mediation, social order, and education, all rooted in Confucian ethics. It would have served both as guide for village governance and as lifestyle instruction for residents. Yet, this book differs from other regional hyangyak by probing explicitly secular matters, such as the control of anger and desire ????, as well as injunctions against ruthless profit-seeking behaviors. Notably, Chuch'?n hyangyak includes several Prefaces and Postscripts, each authored by different individuals and composed at various dates, including An Samun and Kim Ki-yeol (1886), Kim Tae-hyeon (1900), and Kim Dae-hyun (1924). The 1886 Preface clarifies that Kim Kuk-pin compiled the village codes of Juch?n that had existed since the 1700s and modeled them after the village compact ???? of Chinese philosopher Lü Xiangshan (1139-92). Each iteration added the latest changes in the county, reflecting contemporary social and ethical concerns and hinting at how Korean local elites responded to the Japanese colonial governance and increasing modernization. For instance, the final addition to the book is the mention of the 1908 reallocation of the Chuch'?n hyangyak's entire fund to found Hwa-dong School (still standing as Juch?n Elementary School, the second-oldest modern educational institution in North Jeolla). Some local historians characterized it as an "unusual move" by the old elite class to discard the educational format they had embodied, while others assess it as a proactive attempt to self-modernize.
