면우문고의 연구 -면우 곽종석의 지적 관심과 그 자원-

Abstract

Research on Kwak Jong-seok is very active in the fields of literature, Confucian philosophy, and historical studies. He was a prominent figure in our modern Confucianism who was active in Yeongnam in the 19th and 20th centuries. Although he did not serve as a government official, he was an experienced Confucian scholar. Although he did not directly engage in volunteer military activities, he was a governor with a sense of well-being, and devoted himself to maintaining power and nurturing talented people. He was an educator. 『Myeonwoojip』, the most extensive collection of works among Myeonwoo's writings, consists of 165 original volumes and 12 supplementary volumes, making up a total of 177 volumes and 63 books. Because the volume of the collection is so vast, its overall picture is not yet fully understood. His activity as a Confucian representative of the Paris Book Collection Movement was highlighted most strongly and he was evaluated as a leader in the history of the independence movement, but his true character is that of a Confucian scholar from Yeongnam who succeeded Hanju Lee Jin-sang. It would be appropriate to evaluate him as the most notable scholar of modern and contemporary times who led to the 『Dongyuhakan』 concluded by Hoebong and Ha Gyeom-jin. This time, prior to evaluating his academic achievements, we reviewed his archives as an attempt to explore his academic journey, intellectual interests, and further reflect on his intellectual resources. Chinese history and national history sections occupy the largest volume. This is a Chinese version that was mainly published around the 28th year of Guangxi(1902). The Chinese history books are mainly copies of historical studies, and the national records books were published by various Chinese publishers around the 1900s. It appears that the traditional Confucianism literature has been passed down, and it is noteworthy that it contains all the major works of Confucianism, such as 『Daejeon of Zhuzi』, 『Juzieoryu』, and 『Daejeon of Shengli』, in complete form. In terms of literature, we can see the 『Selected Works of Paldaega』, including Han Yu, and the works of major writers of Joseon, such as 『Ikjaejip』 and 『Sambongjip』. And most of the works are collections of works by writers from the Gyeongnam region published after the 1900s. Of these, there are quite a few cases where Myeonwoo wrote the preface himself, but it is understood that even if he did not write the preface himself, there were quite a few cases of people he interacted with. Studying Myeonwoo's library, <Myeonwoo Library>, could be a new path to understanding the foundation of Myeonwoo's intellectual source. His intense life journey, in which he steadfastly responded to foreign invasions while inheriting the scholarship of Hanju Lee Jin-sang, who practiced original Neo-Confucianism in the traditional and modern eras of the 19th and 20th centuries, is well revealed in his extensive collection of works, 『Myeonwoojip』. His archives can also be said to be a treasure trove of important documents that show traces of his scholarly interests, intellectual sources, and social relationships as part of his academic background. In addition, the search for 「Myeonwoo Library」 is primarily a fundamental basis for understanding Myeonwoo's life and thoughts, but through 「Myeonwoo Library」, what kind of intellectual resources did our modern and contemporary Confucian scholars use to build their studies and thoughts? It could also have considerable meaning as an important case study examining .
