毅堂 朴世和의 義理精神의 具現

Abstract

This paper study aspects of realization and the spirit of loyalty of Yi-dang(毅堂) Bak she-wa(朴世和). As a true moral rationalist and a Chu-tzu scholar, he stood loyal to Ming(明) Dynasty, who dispatched troops to the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. He accepted the traditional Hwa-yi theory(華夷論), and recognized China as a Jung-hwa(中華) country and moral country. After the fall of Ming Dynasty, he recognized Joseon as a moral state for the Ming Dynasty. He committed suicide to fulfill his loyalty and to resist the reality from Korea-Japan Annexation. His loyalty spirit is expressed in ‘忍痛含寃, 迫不得已.’ Its origin is Chu-tzu(朱子) during the South Song Dynasty Period. After that, it was inherited by Geonsangha(權尙夏), Yunbonggu(尹鳳九), Leeyiheyon(李宜顯), Seonghaeeng(成海應), Hongjikpil(洪直弼), and Bak she-wa(朴世和) including Songsi-yeol(宋時烈) in No-ron(老論) faction. Bak she-wa, who succeeded in spirit of loyalty, he embodied Hwan-jang-am(煥章菴) as an yearning sanctum toward Ming Dynasty in his literary work. But also, he continued to use Ming Dynasty era.
