Abstract

This study aims to provide specific explanations about the scope of materials for the research of Guam studies and the roles of Guam Lee Jeong in the development of Confucianism in Korea on on the occasion of Guamjeonseo's publication in Korean. For this purpose, the study examined Lee Jeong's materials with a focus on Guamjip and dealt with the causes of poor efforts in the research of Guam studies, Lee Jeong's roles in the history of Confucianism in Korea, and his efforts for the establishment of Dotong (道統) based on them. It was an attempt to reinstate him into the academic history by summoning him, who was almost forgotten or about to be forgotten in the history of Confucianism in Korea, to the contemporary times. Lee Jeong published approximately 20 Neo-Confucian books to pursue moral philosophy based on Jungyong studies with Lee Hwang and spread it across the society and took the lead in worshiping great scholars by setting up Seoyak and Okcheon Seowons. His efforts made the history of intelligence in Joseon anew finally and Dotong clear. In other words, they demonstrated that Simbeop delivered by Emperors Yao and Shun was inherited by Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi and transmitted in Joseon by Kim Goingpil, Lee Eon-jeok, and Lee Hwang. People believed that Lee Hwang's Dotong was transmitted to Lee Jeong based on their profound colleague relations. There is a need to adjust Lee Jeong's status in the Toigye School. Lee Hwang sent approximately 140 letters to Lee Jeong and placed him in the third spot after Jeong Ji-woon and Lee Dam among his 309 pupils in Dosangeupmunjaehyeonrok. This shows that Lee Jeong was one of the advanced pupils in the Toigye School and formed academic comrade relations with Lee Hwang. Furthermore, Lee Hwang himself considered Gi Dae-seung and Lee Jeong as very important figures in his learning group, saying that they were dignified and close to benevolence and made it sure that they would take the same path by following a path and sticking to a track. Taking these circumstances into account, the present study attempted to shed new light on Lee Jeong.
