「經書類抄」의 引用方式에 관한 小考

Abstract

The Joseon Dynasty was the era in which many kinds of encyclopedias have been published. The Kyungbu(經部) encyclopedia which specializes in Confucianism or Confucian classics has also been published in the same period. In this study, the research on the purpose of the compilation and the quoted style of the Kyungseoryucho(「經書類抄」) which is the typical Kyungbu(經部) encyclopedia was conducted. According to the research, the Kyungseoryucho(「經書類抄」) is the book which is designed to search the contents of the various Confucian classics effectively and to find the source of them easily by dividing the main phrases of the Confucian classics. Also it was published to make writing the line of the poetry more convenient and to prepare gwageo(pass the state examination during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty). Confucian topics like Humanity, duty of king, duty of vassal, etc. were on the priority list. And the daily life, farming, eating, objects, vegetation, etc. were below in ranked. So you could know that metaphysical and psychological things were respected than materials. The quoted books in the body of the Kyungseoryucho(「經書類抄」) are a total of 16 kinds of books, such as Book of Changes(「易經」), Seogyeong(「書經」), Book of Odes(「詩經」), Yegi(「禮記」), Ritual(「儀禮」), the Analects of Confucius(「論語」), Mencius(「孟子」), Zhongyong(「中庸」), Deahak(「大學」), Sohak(「小學」), Hyokyong(「孝經」), Gukeo(「國語」), ZuoZhuan(「左傳」), Erya(「爾雅」), Seolweon(「說苑」), and Gaeo(「家語」). Mostly, the one letter of the tile was expressed but the title of the chapter was expressed for the Book of Odes. Even though several faults are pointed out in the extraction and the expression of the Confucian classics it could still be a valuable reference book for those who study Confucian classics or prepare gwageo in the Joseon Dynasty period.
