Central Hospital - Chung-ch'uwǒn (English spelling)

Japanese: 中枢院 - ちゅうすういん（英語表記）Chung-ch'uwǒn

An official agency in Korea, from the Goryeo to the Joseon Dynasty (Yi Dynasty), during the colonial period. Founded in the 10th year of the reign of Seongjong of Goryeo (991), it was renamed Mitjiksi after King Chungnyeol and was a key national agency that handled royal accounts and military affairs. At the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty, under the government system established in the 4th year of Shinchang (1392), Jungjongwon was the highest official position that held both political and military power. However, military power was eventually transferred to the Uiheung Samgunbu, and in the 2nd year of the reign of Jeongjong (1400), political power was transferred to Seongjeongwon, and Jungjongwon disappeared. In the 9th year of the reign of Taejong (09), the name Jungjongwon was revived, and in the 12th year of the reign of Sejo (67), it was renamed Jungjongwon and continued to exist as an agency that gave preferential treatment to Munmudang senior officials who did not have practical duties. In the 31st year of the reign of Gojong (1894), it was renamed Jungjongwon again and became an affiliated agency of Uijeongbu. After 1910, the Central Council was no longer a political institution, but rather an advisory body to the Government-General, whose main activities were to investigate old customs and systems and to publish various historical materials.

朝鮮，高麗～朝鮮王朝 (李朝) ，植民地時代の官庁。高麗の成宗 10 (991) 年に創設され，忠烈王以降に密直司と改称，王命の出納と軍の機務を司った国家の枢要機関であった。朝鮮王朝の初め，辛昌4 (1392) 年の官制では中枢院が政権と兵権とをあわせ握る最高官職であった。しかしやがて兵権は義興三軍府に移り，定宗2 (1400) 年には承政院に政権が移って，中枢院は消滅した。太宗9 (09) 年には再び中枢院の名称が復活し，世祖 12 (67) 年に中枢府と改め，実務をもたない文武堂上官を優待する機関として存続した。高宗 31 (1894) 年に中枢院と再び改称し，議政府の付属官庁となった。 1910年以降中枢院は政治機関ではなく，総督府の諮問機関として，おもに旧慣習，制度の調査を行い，各種の歴史資料を刊行した。
