『시석의詩釋義』와 퇴계 『시詩』해석의 특징

Abstract

Toegye Lee Hwang(退溪 李滉) attempted to present proper Korean pronunciation and annotation for Shijing(詩經) in his Shi-Seokeui (詩釋義). While examining Korean pronunciation and annotation, and futhermore considering the general issues of the study of Shijing with the text of Dajuan(大全) and its annotations, he compared the existing exegesises and distinguished between right and wrong. This article is an overview of his theory for the study of Shijing and its methodological features. After the text of Dajuan(大全) concluding Shizhuan-Daquan (詩傳大全) was adopted as the official text during the reign of king Sejong(世宗), literati in Joseon dynasty endeavored to comprehend annotations by Zhuxi(朱熹) and notes others included in the text of Dajuan. Meanwhile, they also carried out in depth research on original text, pronunciation, theory of Liuyu(六義), interpretation from the context etc. while maintaining the viewpoint of ‘Principle theory(義理之學)’. It can be said that Toegye’s way of interpretation in his Shi-Seokeui which on the one hand adopted the philological methodology, and on the other hand adhered to ‘Principle theory’, should be a useful guideline for comprehension of Shijing until now.
