Abstract

Chinese letters was the official language of East Asia in ancient time. Accordingly, other countries that using Chinese letters accepted Chinese textbooks and its cultural records, so Chinese culture lay at the root of other country’s. However, Joseon, Japan, Vietnam and any other countries what is called cultural area of Chinese don’t accept Chinese textbooks or profound records unconditionally. this article considered the attitudes of Joseon in the process of accepting Chinese record. Joseon came to terms with discordance of its letters native to the country and Chinese after introduction of Chinese letters. However, they made a ceaseless seeking and resistance to found a solution to inconvenience of speaking and writing. Therefore, Joseon maintained the native letters like ‘IDoo’ and ‘HyunTo’, devised unique recording and reading system of Chinese letters, and recognized its textbooks. By the way, Joseon resisted and compromised accepting Chinese letter found in the circumstances of receiving culture. Especially, Joseon received the culture of Confucian ideas and wants to use the culture as its life values and practical ethics, the other sides, converse suitably for its historical situation. In teaching materials for children’s study, Joseon used 「SoHak」 but, it made 「DongMongSunSeup」 which is similar to 「SoHak」 and consider its realities. Furthermore, Joseon compiled 『KyukMongYoKyul』 and used for education. It is the textbooks for real practicing manners of Confucianism in Joseon. This article focused on 『KyukMongYoKyul』, which is the textbooks for children’s study. It made by YoolKog in conformity of 「JooJaKaRae」. 『KyukMongYoKyul』 was made for leading Joseon into East Asia’s general order from Confucian scriptures. YoolKog proposed the social norm coming through with Joseon’s special qualities and traditions and he wanted that is followed by JooJa’s learning in personal training and social arranging. Exactly, he claimed to free from the old conventions which didn’t make sense with East Asia’s general order and offered Joseon’s practicing conformities which attached traditional manners of mourning and religious service. His 『KyukMongYoKyul』 is the development progress that Chinese JooJa’s learning appropriate Sung Confucianism what is more secured its position as Sung Confucianism‘s manners.
