洛村 李道長의 학문 연원과 그 특징

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a member of disciples on Chilgok, Yi Dojang’s academic origin and contents and to identify Yeoheon circle’s instructing academics and characteristics based on it. Yi Dojang is representative man who studies under both Hangang and Yeoheon, as Jang Hyeongwang’s disciples on Seongju and Chilgok. Thus, his initiation time does not correctly turn out to be record, but after he takes a hand in school ties of Yeoheon with brother, Yi Dochang, he deeply messes with Yi Joo, a man of ten sages of Yeohen school, and then he becomes one of men who represent school ties of Yeoheon. His studies would not get to the core studies like Jang Hyeongwang’s theories of Xing-li(性理說) and I-hsuh(易學) for he was too young to die, because of over a long public office. Mainly, we can have only upward on the basis of his governance theory. Thus, this paper studies a give and take relationship of learning on the basis of governance theory of Jang Hyeongwang and Yi Dojang. The first feature of Jang Hyeongwang’s governance theory is geongeuknon(建極論) which discusses role of subjects around king; second feature is harmony of royal court and unity of private opinions; third feature is emphasis of hyangyak focused on reformation. Of course, these features is not showed in Yi Dojang without omissions or rewrites. Jang Hyeongwang’s geongeuknon is expanding on to the region through Yi Dojang. First, based on Jang Hyeongwang’s geongeuknon that regards realizing benevolent royal government by accepting Tian-li as assignment of king, he think that role of governor-general who charges local politics is the same. This is that that defines role between king and subjects, and realizes benevolent royal government by accepting disposition of providence from the central government to local government. Second, the stance which emphasizes hyangyak succeed to Jang Hyeongwang’s academic characteristics. he thinks Zhou-li(『周禮』) as beginning of hyangyak, and looks up ultimate function of hyanghak in the reformation. This is Jang Hyeongwang’s feature. These same features differ from Yi Hwang’s YeAnHyangyak which has character of local covenant to tighten local rules.
