I 130 NOTES TO CHAPTER 2 I- Ihid., pp. 602-7, 617. 628. Tabana concluded that Ch'oe Hungwon worked out his
own fonnula from a thorough digesting of the previous literature but was influenced mostly
by the Lii-Family compact, Chu Hsi, and T'oegye, rather than Yulgok. Nevertheless, Ch'oe's
emphasis on punishment appears to have derived from Yulgok. - Ihid., pp. 607-30.
- Ibid .. pp. 652-58, 671.
- Ibid., pp. 663-64. Tabana, however, was unwilling to draw a conclusion whether
the kye referred to a formal organization based on status, or simply to an informal
"group" of people. - Ibid., pp. 659-72. Tabana also suggested that An's ideas were closely related to
Yu's on these points, and that An's concept of the kye differed from that ofYulgok, who
designed his kye to be a specific and separate organization that ran the granary as its
function in conjunction with the community granary. An's kye, which was possihly
more like an informal group divided by the status of thc residents, was to function as
part of the community compact organization. Although Tahana Tameo has praised An
Chonghok's Kyong'an County Two-Village compact and granary as a unique and cre-
ative contrihution to that subject, apart from his greater detail and the clearer empha-
sis on social status di ITerentation than others, there was little to distinguish his thought
from the previous literature. - Ibid., pp. 7II-I5. Small villages probably were organized as individual kye no
matter how small their population, because forty of the village kye in An's district of
3,336 households (or 16,267 persons) had only an average of 83-4 families per kye.

- Ihid., pp. 745-49· One of the two texts that Tabana used also contained an adden-
dum quoting Yulgok's remarks that it was premature to initiate community compacts while
the people were still suffering from famine and deprivation. - Ibid., p. 756
