「천군전」의 심성론적 성격과 의미

Abstract

This article was written with the purpose of finding the plutonistic character and meaning of 「Cheogunjeon (천군전)」. The thesis was progressed by treating the piece as the essential information and to find out the ideological characteristic and meaning behind the creation of the piece. The piece, in terms of plutonistic side, can be seen as accepting the master, Josik(조식)’s plutonism but at the same time, seems to have contributed in studying and arguing the author Kimuong(김우옹)’s plutonism. The piece was not limited to plutonism but acted as vehicle to share and deliver the academic research findings between the student and the master. Although Kimuong(김우옹)carried on plutonism, the most important of ideologies, from his master, he did not remain there but used it to establish and develop his own plutonism to use it in his other fields of study. Because he had such thoughts, he could use his pieces as his base in whatever he did. This trend didn’t remain in simply developing himself, but was used in social areas such as politics. He, based on his master’s knowledge, created 「Cheogunjeon (천군전)」 to deliver his logics. It could be seen as nothing special since it complied with the Joseon Dynasty’s Sung Confucianism ideas, but that is not true. Most of the Joseon Dynasty’s scholars did not do such act of work, and only few used it as opportunity to create a piece, but the fact that Kimuong(김우옹) didn’t makes it special. In other words, he took his master’s plutonism seriously and used it actively to create pieces to form his own ideas, and the fact that he treated it as his standard of ideas and life gives him unique and special honors.
