朝鮮後期 學界와 京畿學人

Abstract

This study is focused on the background of emergence of the scholars of Gyeonggi province(京畿學人) during the late Joseon Period. The scholars of Gyeonggi province(京畿學人) had been grown amid the circumstances when the position of Gyeonggi region centering around Hanyang was promoted from political, military, and administrative aspects. Along with being promoted position from political, military, and administrative aspects, this region was urbanized rapidly, and separated into the capital and rural area(京⋅鄕의 분리). Under these circumstances, the scholars of Gyeonggi province(京畿學人) were able to grow as the center of the academic world. King Jeongjo encouraged people to learn ZhuZiXue(朱子學) as the Correct Learning, and recommended different interpretation from ZhuZiXue(朱子學). Such a policy had occasioned to rejuvenate the academia. The scholar of Gyeonggi province(京畿學人) had been affected directly by such research policy of King Jeongjo. Some scholars had accepted the position on the revision and complement issue of Confucianism, and others attempted to come up with different interpretations from Confucianism. These tendencies were continued even after the death of King Jeongjo. It should be noted that the scholars of Gyeonggi province(京畿學人) had faithfully performed their given roles.
