Abstract

SinceIn the late 19th century, Choi Ik-hyun(1833~1906), who led the movement of Wijeongcheoksa(衛正斥邪) and the righteous army movement(義兵運動), was one of the biggest literary groups among the Hwaseo school literary people. He has actively conducted his academic activities since he was around 40 years old and has formed a group of literary people who already exceeded 600 people in his lifetime. He developed his academic activities around his hometown Pocheon(抱川) area and Jeongsan(定山, currently Cheongyang; 靑陽) area, which moved to old age, and his disciples worked with him on the front of the righteous army movement. In addition, they continued to carry out anti-Japanese movement after Choi's death, and they devoted themselves to the training of their disciples in their study sites and produced more than 1,500 disciples. Through them, Choi’s academic tradition continued to the fourth stage of discipleship, and the appearance was expanded to a group of literary people exceeding 2,500. In the meantime, academia has not paid attention to Choi’s teaching activities and his literary group. Unlike the limited number of studies on other schools that were active at the same time, there is no research on Choi’s literary group. Considering the limitations of these previous studies, and considering the relatively poor interest in the literary group of various schools in the 20th century, this study is to summarize the general aspects of Choi’s literary group from the late 19th century to the mid-to-late 20th century through the analysis of region and age. Prior to Choi’s analysis of literary group, I examined the activities of Choi’s teaching, which is the background of the formation of literary group. The basic data of this study is ChamiYeonwonrok(茝薇淵源錄) published by Choi’s disciples in 1967 and other literature materials such as Myeonamsunsaengmuninrok(勉菴先生門人錄) published earlier were also referred. As a result of analyzing the literary figures in Chaemi Yeonwonrok, it was confirmed that Choi’s academic tradition was inherited mainly by literary figures in Honam area, and that Choi’s successors showed practical aspects based on strong anti-Japanese spirit as well as conscious efforts to protect Confucianism in the Japanese colonial period and the mid-20th century. In particular, Choi’s successors continued to strengthen the solidarity of the school, while showing the recognition and aspect distinguished from other Hwaseo school(華西學派) academic traditions, showing the characteristics that can be called the ‘Myeonam school’(勉菴學派).
