Abstract

After the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, Joseon rebuilt Taoism, which flourished during the Goryeo Dynasty. In response, we took a look at the Taoism of the early Joseon Dynasty, paying attention to Kwon Geun and his taoist written prayer, Cheong-sa. As a Neo-confucianist, Kwon Geun was critical of Taoism. He criticized the trend of TaoTeChing(道德經) and negatively regarded the expansion of the Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu thought. And He also criticized Taoism's theory of eternal life. However, Kwon Geun said that Taoism helped and blessed the people in the poem titled ‘SoGyukJeon’ written in 1403. This means that Kwon Geun acknowledged some religious function and utility to Taoism. Kwon Geun wrote the most Taoist ritual sentence among the contemporary Neo-Confucian scholars. His book, YangchonJip contains Taoist ritual sentence of 14 chapter, written during Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty. The six chapter written during the Joseon Dynasty was used in the ceremony held for the congratulations of the king under the leadership of the Gongshindogam. The content is all predicated on the oath of loyalty of the publicists. Therefore, the ceremony held under the leadership of the Gongshindogam was effective in reaffirming the loyalty of the main contributor to the king. Kwon Geun quoted Dodeokgyeong and Jangza in Taoist taxt, described the Tao of Taoism in Taoist ritual sentence. his cheongsa appeared Taeil and BukDoo god like the Taoism god corresponding to its original purpose. This shows that the Joseon Dynasty embraced the spirituality of Taoism. And it is confirmed that Taoism rites was held in SoGyukjeon, Taoist temple in Joseon Dynasty in accordance with the Taoist ritual. As such, Joseon Dynasty held Taoist ceremony at the national level by accepting Taoism, which flourished during the Goryeo Dynasty. In addition Kwon Geun cited Confucian books while writing Taoist ritual sentences, showing a compromising attitude with Taoism as a Neo-Confucian scholar.
