Judge - jishinkan (English spelling) sasimgwan

Japanese: 事審官 - じしんかん（英語表記）sasimgwan

A local official in the Goryeo Dynasty, Korea, who was in charge of the local government officials. It began when King Gyeongsun of Silla, who surrendered in the 18th year of the reign of Taejo (935), was appointed as the sashin in Gyeongju, and had him control and supervise the local government officials below the deputy head of household. Later, meritorious officials were appointed as sashin in the provinces where they came from, and had them pacify the regions. As the centralized system was established, the sashin was also controlled, and in the 11th year of the reign of Munjong (1057), the sashin chief was appointed, and the dynasty began to control the regions directly. In the 9th year of the reign of King Chungnyeol (1283), an abolition order was issued, but powerful clans themselves became sashin in order to plunder the local people. In the 5th year of the reign of King Chungsuk (1318), another abolition order was issued, and the land and slaves held by the sashin were confiscated. However, the feudal lord-like influence of these sashin continued until the fall of the Goryeo Dynasty.

朝鮮，高麗時代の地方官で，郷吏を統括する官職。太祖 18 (935) 年降伏した新羅の敬順王を慶州の事審官とし，副戸長以下の郷職を支配，監督させたのに始る。その後諸功臣を出身地の州の事審官に任じ，地方を鎮定させた。中央集権制度が整備されると，事審官も統制を受け，文宗 11 (1057) 年事審主掌使が任命されて王朝が地方を直接統制するようになった。忠烈王9 (1283) 年，廃止令が出されたが，権力ある豪族はみずから事審官になって地方民を収奪した。忠肅王5 (1318) 年再び廃止令が出され，事審官がもっていた土地と奴婢は没収された。しかしこれら事審官の封建領主的な勢力は高麗滅亡まで続いた。
