Abstract

Widang(爲堂) Jeong, In-bo(鄭寅普, 1893~1950) set chapter of 「Choson(朝鮮)'s Yangming school(陽明學派)」 in 『The exposition of Yangming studies(陽明學演論)』 that serialized 『Dong-A Ilbo』 in 1933, and generalized Korean Yangming school(陽明學派). Widang(爲堂) deplored that no school worthy of school was in Choson(朝鮮), and was the only scholar who reverence Chuja studies(朱子學), then spoke paradoxically that as hidden scholastic mantle Choson(朝鮮)'s Yangming school(陽明學派) existed. Then Widang(爲堂) divided into three classes about Choson(朝鮮)'s Yangming school(陽明學派), said the genealogy detailedly. Nothing but unused name about Kanghwa(江華) school, about the accomplished maximum scholastic mantle among them, already noted down real facts of the genealogy in 『The exposition of Yangming studies(陽明學演論)』. It is because Widang(爲堂) was Jeokjeon(嫡傳) of Kanghwa(江華) school. As for scholar who collect data about Kanghwa(江華) school, can only just look for first step in 『The exposition of Yangming studies(陽明學演論)』, conclusion of much discourse makes to revert in one joint and writing of 『The exposition of Yangming studies(陽明學演論)』. Widang(爲堂) was bent on pigeonholes and preserves about the Kanghwa(江華) school several scholars' data. Following truths are the example. ① Left a postscript in Sim, dae-yun(沈大允)'s 『Boklee(福利) complete book』(Korea University library's possession manuscript). ② Left a postscript in Shin, jak(申綽)'s 『Seokcheon(石泉) posthumous works』(Seoul National University Gyujanggak's possession manuscript). ③ When Choson-government(朝鮮總督府) printed the 『Sichago(詩次故)』 by stone seal, used Widang(爲堂)'s data. ⑤ Left a bibliographical explanation of Ryu, hui(柳僖)'s 『Muntong(文通)』. Widang(爲堂)'s method of the learning thought is same as following. First, grafting together governing learning and objectivity analysis law, second, firmly maintaining a learning attitude of Gusibonjin(求是本眞). These method of the learning thought can say that it inherit and develop the Kanghwa(江華) school. Also, taking a serious view truth feeling(眞實情感) in literature, and practicing through oneself literature production can say that also inherit and develop the literary tendency of Kanghwa(江華) school. By the way, Widang(爲堂) did not stay on Kanghwa(江華) school's frame, and synthesized the narrow meaning's practical science genealogy and the tradition of the learning thought of Kanghwa(江華) school that was seated from intelligence history as subjective learning tradition. So, Widang(爲堂)'s learning does not stay as nationalism learning that disappeared in past dark ages. Justly, it is future learning as presenting a literary direction that we must seek forward.
