임진왜란과 절의정신의 表儀에 대한 小考 ― 의성김씨 퇴암(문학)공파의 순절과 창의를 중심으로

Abstract

Notable is that The Uiseong(義城) Kims family of the Munhak peerage relative(文學公派) descendant had more sacrifice themselves than other parentage to preserve their honor and nation in Kyungsang, Chungchen, Jeonla district when Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. We can find three type's sacrifice their life for their country which are Kim deuk gi(金得器) in kimgae(金海) the first place of army raised in the cause of justice, Kim seonbok(金善復) in keumsan(錦山) the place of an army in the cause of justice Joheon(趙憲) and Younggyu(靈圭)'s all died for their country and Kim jemim(金齊閔) and his three sons raised an army in the cause of justice in Jeonla province(湖南). Kim an(金晏) the youngest of his sons engaged in warfare, laid down his life for his country as well as redounded to the credit of theirs clan. I have talked about these dying for their country, placing emphasis on two substance. For one thing, we must reconsider the first place of army raised in the cause of justice in kimhae(金海) combat without the government troops and the day of 19th, 20th on April not Uiryung(宜寧) the day of 22th on April according to the historical material. One more thing, In keumsan(錦山) combat is not the army in the cause of justice Joheon(趙憲)'s 700 all died for their country where being partner of Younggyu(靈圭)'s 1,000 also all died for their country. We have to find this fault and put it right. The 2nd, There is a advance the principles of righteousness early in Korea. Confucian ideas settling down in the these thought, Fidelity to one’s principles became the ruler of the country. Classical scholar lives up to his faith and carries his philosophy into action according to ethical conscience. Classical scholar who spent his whole life in pursuit of personality development beyond the confines high social standing and the aim of life. Confucius say on this subject "The determined scholar and the man of virtue will not seek to live at the expence of injuring their virtue. They will even sacrifice their lives to preserve their virtue complete." Mencius propagated Confucian doctrines. Though classical scholar lay down his life with the honest spirit of literati-scholars without fixed property, He will complete the righteousness. In the face of crisis for the nation, Fidelity to one’s principles which laid down his life for his country prove one's real worth as driving force of overcoming the national crisis. I studied a matter in its aspects of The Uiseong(義城) Kims family of the Munhak peerage relative(文學公派) descendant take possession carrying those precepts into practice during the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592. The shared values and a common mission which is the classical scholar lay down his life with the honest spirit of literati-scholars without fixed property from their forefather of the Goryeo dynasty to them of the Joseon Dynasty. This is the opportunity to think about the transmission of KIms sacrifice their life for their country from generation to generation. These are good lessons from this story in this mammonism society. This is not an outdated historical event. By trying to find a guide into tomorrow by taking lessons from the past. This will be a good lesson to us as driving force of the realization of a just society and reinforce ethics all of the home by one and one.
