Abstract

This paper reveals the theoretical basis of Yoo In-seok(1842-1915) Wijeongcheoksa(衛正斥邪) and the development pattern of righteous army movement. Yoo In-seok develops the theory of Wijeongcheoksa based on the theoretical view of world view and history, and also actually develops the righteous army movement based on this theory of Wijeongcheoksa. Yoo In-seok makes protecting and preserving Chinese civilization the ultimate goal of all actions. It proposes a civilization-centered chinese and barbarians theory that uses superiority at the level of civilization as a criterion for value judgment during the historical upheaval when the country groans and rages due to Japanese and Western aggressions. As it is, in the 20th century, it developed into the ideology of the anti-Japanese military movement in the context of the Japanese invasion. His righteous army movement and all the acts of the uprising against Japan, which are continuous due to overseas asylum, are also an extension of that. In the end, the strong will to protect the country is expressed as China's will to protect it, Yoo In-seok's theory of Wijeongcheoksa is an expression of China's conservation consciousness, and at the same time, it is directly linked to the will of anti-Japanese. This chinese and barbarians theoretic world view is noteworthy in that it forms the basic framework of the external or historical perception of Joseon confucian scholars who lived at the time.
