천사 김종덕의 생애와 거경궁리설

Abstract

This paper aims to outline Cheonsa Kim Jong-deok's ideas, especially self-cultivation. Although he was a student who learned directly from Daesan Yi, Sang-jeong, he is not known in detail about his studies and ideas, including his life. First of all, he outlined his life and revealed that he had set a goal of learning for self-implementation to become a Sage. Especially, at the age of 36 in 1759, Yi Sang-jeong's move to the ministry became a very important turning point in his life. This is because he decides to abandon his studies for the hard-working past and live in seclusion in the forest with the aim of becoming a Sage. Yi, Sang-jeong, her teacher, was satisfied with this, and until her death, there was a lot of academic communication through her lectures and letters, which had a significant impact on many of her alumni. In his studies, Kim Jong-deok inherits his teacher's theory while showing his own academic characteristics. He judged that the core of his studies to be a Sage was in "mind-cultivation," and developed the story of self-cultivation, which values Reserve Experience, in that specific way. In other words, in order to gain the middle of the mind in the pre-emotional stage, he emphasized animing at quietness through Ching. This continues even after the emotion has occurred, but it is also important to get the right meaning in addition to the study of the study centered on The Great Learning. In addition, he stressed that such a mind and 'realizing the state’ study of reading cannot be intact unless it is practiced at the same time. Beyond his teacher's theory, he has reached out to Yi Hwang's studies, which he inherited more uprightly.
