남원 박씨

1. 본문

The Namwon Park clan (남원 박씨, 南原 朴氏) is a Korean family clan with its origin in Namwon, North Jeolla Province. The progenitor of the Namwon Park clan is Park Yu-myeong (朴維明), who was enfeoffed as Namwon-gun (Prince of Namwon) for his meritorious service.

There are a couple of notable points regarding different Namwon Park clans and related families:

• Namwon Juksan Park Clan (남원 죽산박씨): This clan is associated with a historic house in Namwon, where descendants of Park Mun-su (박문수), a loyal official of the late Goryeo Dynasty, lived. The house showcases characteristics of upper-class residences from the Joseon Dynasty.
• Heungbujeon: Seongni Village, Ayeong-myeon, Namwon, is identified as the setting of *Heungbujeon*, a story from traditional Korean pansori. This location, connected to the tale of Heungbu becoming rich, and a tomb believed to be Park Chun-bo's, add cultural significance to the area.
• Other Namwon Clans: Besides the Park clan, there are other clans with the "Namwon" origin, such as the Namwon Seung clan (related to the Chinese Ming family) and potentially different branches or variations of the Moon clan.

• Park Blacksmith: This blacksmith makes high-quality, handmade "Namwon" kitchen knives using traditional methods.
