16세기 성주지역 학술계의 동향

Abstract

This paper briefly took a look at the Seongju area academic tradition continued until the 15th century, and examined the 16th trend by dividing the period into the initial, middle and late periods. It was thus found that the Seongju area scholarship was pursued in earnest in the second half of Goryeo dynasty, and of such pursuit efforts, in particular, figures from the Seongju Yi line were found to be active. After the 15th century, such a situation made a great change. Figures from the Seongju Yi line entered the central bureaucracy in large numbers, and the vacancies left by them were taken by Sarim School, resulting in promoting new academic tradition. The Seongju area scholarship in the early 16th century was the reflection of that change. The major hubs of academic activities were Byeokjin-myeon, Chojeon-myeon, Seonnam-myeon and Dasan-myeon. By family-name household, unlike before, particular family-name households did not lead academic activities but diverse family-name households participated in such activities. Technically the academic activities were characterized by the Sarim school of Kim Jong-jik's disciple line. This trend underwent one more change in the middle of the 16th century. Hubs of academic activities changed to Daega-myeon, Suryun-myeon, etc, and major figures were replaced by the lineup of disciples of Yi Hwang and Jo Sik. And, great academic achievements, uncomparable to before, were accomplished, creating Seongju into a nationwide famous town of scholarship. Of such achievements, in particular, Jeong Gu's academic achievements were outstanding. Thus after the second half of the 16th century, regional talents gathered to Jeong Gu's school to become his disciples. After the 17th century, Jeong Gu's disciples, through home schooling, inherited their master's academic tradition.
