This paper aims to examine the character of Jeju society by looking at the Anthology of 通政大夫 司憲府 掌令 authored by Byon Kyong Bung. Byon (born in 1754; died in 1824) comes from Shin Do Ri, Dae Jeong County, Jeju. He passed the exam of 島科; and later on went through several official jobs in the government. He held a typical confucian character; accordingly he authored several manuscripts that represent Confucian ideas. Byon fully recorded his experience of Shamanism in Jeju. The Anthology revealed diverse conflicts that involve Chung Geum An, which has not been found in other writings that dealt with Jeju society during his time. This finding has indicated that while the character of the ruling class of Jeju during the nineteenth century was dominated by confucian ideology, shamanism was a underlying force in its perception. In addition his opinions about Chung Geum An point that Confucian based country village was formed in Jeju; however was not fully established. This paper confirmed the previous findings that nineteenth century ruling class of Jeju represents Confucian character on the surface; but at the same Shamanism character was coexisted.
