정약용 역학의 본령– 역도론, 역리론, 역의론을 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to comparatively analyze the characteristics of yidao, yili and yiyi theory in Jeong Yak-yong(丁若鏞)’s yixue(易學) and discuss the significance of its interpretations. The Chinese yixue is traditionally classified as ‘Yangfayukchong(兩派六宗: two schools with six features of study)’ in the Siku Quanshu Zongmu Tiyao(四庫全書總目提要). In this paper, Yixue has been differentiated with the Yili(義理) and Xiangshu(象數). Moreover, the perspectives of four elements in Zhouyi’s sentence(辭), change(變), symbol(象) and divine(占) have been studied through the fundamental theories of Jeong Yak-yong. Jeong Yak-yong’s theories classified the characteristics of change in space-time and symbol mentioned in Zhouyi through documental archaeology and exegetical studies. Jeong Yak-yong explores the core elements of Zhouyi which exists in the bianyi through the theory of yidao, yili and yiyi. Jeong Yak-yong was free from the conventions of Xiangshu and Yili. However, Jeong Yak-yong analyzed yili from his perspective and methodically interpreted Xiangli and Shuli because he was not much convinced with the Yixue of Song(宋). Jeong Yak-yong’s yixue is a collective classification of prototypical elements and analytical methods. Based on these components, this paper can be comprehended as a study of Jeong Yak-yong’s explanation and composite of yixue determined in Zhouyi’s sentence, change, symbol and divine’s interpretative principle which is an important characteristics of creative ‘Study of Yili(易理學)’.
