Abstract

In Korea, the traditional institutions of confucianism remain through out the nation. Sungkyunkwan and hyanggyo, the Confucian temple and school to teach local students in the Joseon Dynasty period are the national institutions. Seowon is the private school. This paper focuses on understanding situation and education of seowon. Seowon had been the library and schooling space in previous Joseon Dynasty. However, it was of great importance as the space of the memorial service after Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. Many seowon was built in 17th century and its main goals were memorial service and country's politics instead of education after all. Heungseon-Daewongun phased out seowon to prevent harmful effect from taking place, so only 47 seowon was left. Seowon was rated very negatively and was supposed to a den of party strife, but historians studied seowon actively in 1970s,80s. Therefore, negative cognition of seowon was modified more than a bit. However, the studies of educational activity of it still lack in part of Chinese-education. In this paper, I organize concrete examples of education activity in official seowon,which have data in Jeoun-Nam Province. This study indicates how developing confucianism in local community. The scale of Jeoun-Nam's seowon is smaller than Yeongnam's or Kiho's. Because of financial pressure, ‘Gujeop’ which means preparing for an classical examination system for the government service in old time Korea in seowon was less operated. While some Confucian scholars attended lectures in the first and the fifteenth days of the lunar month. This paper consider lecture of Jucksoo seowon in Jeoun-Nam province.
