미암 유희춘의 가족서사와 도학의 재발견

Abstract

This article examines the academics and thoughts of Miam Yoo Hee-chun, a Neo-Confucian scholar from Honam in the mid-16th century, from the perspective of Emotional Confucianism. In this article, I raised the need for a new perspective of Yoo Hee-chun and the question of a Taoxue evaluation of his academic thoughts. Yoo Hee-chun learned from contemporary Neo-Confucian scholars including Choi Sando and Kim An-guk in the family's history related to Taoxue. By becoming a relationship connected by marriage, it formed a “relationship network connected by marriage” with prestigious families in Honam. In this process, for 19 years, he became a separated person after committing a crime and being punished, but through the continuous learning of Neo-Confucianism, he not only became academically prominent, but also trained his disciples through lectures and questions. Since his period of despair was consistent with “Respect for Zhuzi,” after he was released from exile, he entered the government office again, as a scholarly bureaucrat, and showed his academic competence as minister. Yoo Hee-chun's role as a Neo-Confucian scholar was to establish a rigorous academic system of ‘Zhuzixue as a Taoxue' in the era of Sage learning. In this article, I approached Yu Hee-chun's "new Confucian origin" through his family and family narratives. Through this, I pointed out that despite his academic competence and achievements, he was very undervalued in Korean Confucianism and Honam Confucianism. On the premise of this problem consciousness, I rearranged Yoo Hee-chun's life and writings. In this way, I reconstitute the aspects of the thoughts and emotional practice of Taoxue scholar Yu Hee-chun.
