Abstract

This study has discussed ways to revitalize Sunghyeonseowon Confucian Academy and Dosanseowon Confucian Academy, two major Confucian Academies located in Daejeon region from the perspective of Confucian cultural content. I have examined the current status of Confucian academy and the necessity of Confucian cultural content and how Confucian cultural content are utilized by both Sunghyeonseowon Confucian Academy and Dosanseowon Confucian Academy. I have presented the necessity of active utilization of such content by these two Confucian academies, followed by the ways of utilization in historical experiences or Seonbi (classical scholar) spirit and personality education, tourism and cultural content industry. The recent accomplishments to promote utilization of such content by Sunghyeonseowon Confucian Academy include the ‘Confucian Academy Stay’ and the ‘Confucian Cultural Revitalization’ projects in 2015. Dosanseowon Confucian Academy proceeded with implementing the project of “Building the Confucian temple and academy with the history and culture restored alive” in 2015 through 2016. Other than that, there were few outstanding accomplishments and this particular project had lack of programs that reflected the unique characteristics of these two Confucian academies, resulting in the lack of differentiated content of Confucian academies in Daejeon district. Against this background, I have presented ways of utilizing the Confucian cultural content of these two Confucian academies as described below. ‘1) I have conducted discussions on ways to develop the Confucian cultural content utilizing the existing projects in terms of differentiation, benchmarking and the establishment of Seonbi Training Center. ‘2) As ways to develop the Confucian cultural content utilizing the existing resources, I have made several proposals, including building the Seonbi Road, adding bus lines for Daejeon City Tour Bus, utilization of the resources of 2015 ‘Ho-Seo-Myeong-Hyeon Expo’, development of Confucian cultural content aligned with the direction of government projects, development of Confucian cultural content utilizing digital content, philosophical healing, experience with culinary foods of the head family, and utilization of academies for drama shooting spots. The Confucian academies in Daejeon district have taken the position of passive preservations and should be directed toward renovating its image as being future-oriented cultural heritage and raising their sense of existence in the 21st century by actively utilizing available resources. The Confucian academies alone have limited capacity in terms of professional and administrative personnel and infrastructure and a close cooperation and collaboration with academia as well as with public and private sectors will be much required to jointly develop creative and rich content. For that, all relevant stakeholders, including the government, local autonomous bodies, concerned personnel and community residents should sustain their love and attention to the Confucian academies in our local community.
