南公轍 文學의 淵源에 대하여-그 家學的 성격을 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to consider the concept and category of ‘Family Tradition’[家學]. The concept and category of family traditon has been used obscurely, so I attempted to make it more clear from this study. Many reserchers have treated family tradition mainly within limits of the tradition of learning[學問] or literature. However I found many cases that represent not only the tradition of learning or literature but also the tradition of life style. So I resettled the concept and category of family tradition as: typed tradition in a family extending more than two generations and that contains not only the tradition of learning or literature but also the tradition of life style. With this concept and category, I reserched the family tradition of Nam Gongcheol[南公轍, 1760-1840], who was a representative person of distinguished family in the Latter-Joseon period. At first, the tradition of learning or literature could be pointed out as following: A. Independent attitude in interpreting and writing. B. Similar view point about the Chinese literary and the history of Chinese poem. C. Taking a serious view with Qi[氣] and Six Classics[六經] when they wrote a writings. D. Not have a concern in Neo-Confucianism[性理學]. Secondly, the tradition of life style is as following: A. View point of self sufficient social intercourse. B. Impartial executing of their official duties. C. Enjoying collecting classical works. Family Tradition can be regarded as the whole of a family's custom, and it is very important because it can influence on one's attitude to study or write. It seems that we need more detailed research on the influence of one's family tradition to one's study or writing.
