강유위의 경학사상에 대한 하겸진의 비판

Abstract

Confucian classics is the core of Korean Confucianism. When exploring Korean Confucianism, no matter from the perspective of Zhu-zi xue scholars, Yang-min gxue scholars, and practical scholars, it is impossible to evade its interpretation of Confucian classics. The new perspectives and methods of interpreting classics often have different development in response to the changes of times and regional differences, and through the reflection on the existing style of study. In the later period of Joseon Dynasty, facing the constant invasion of Japan and foreign powers, how to achieve salvation through the reform of Confucianism has always been the focus of intellectuals. Kang Youwei’s thought of Confucian classics was introduced to Korea at this time, which also received a lot of attention. This paper aims to analyze the introduction of Kang Youwei’s thoughts into the Korea through the criticism of Ha Gyeom-jin, a scholar of Hanjoo school. Whether positive or negative, Kang Youwei's thought of Confucian classics influenced the perspective and content of the interpretation of classics in the late Joseon Dynasty and even Korea.
