군(君), 신(臣), 민(民)의 존재와 공자의 이상사회

Abstract

This paper studied the meanings and phases of jun(君), chen(臣) and min(民) and examined the Confucius utopia in jenlogy(仁學) system. As the result of it, we have had four main suggestions that drop a hint for us in now days. 1) The meanings of jun(君) which was argued by Confucius was revealed four types such as President, Congressman, local government head, and local assembly man. So the person who became jun(君) at this time must be conscious of his governance and carry out his roles and duties for nation and people. And than he must control himself and practice ethics and morality. 2) The chen(臣) who had qualification and authority to carry out the governance of jun(君) meaned government officials in now days. Therefore the person who became chen(臣) must recognize to his mission and duty what he should serve and attend on nation and people. Furthermore he might controle himself and practice ethics and morality like as jun(君). 3) The meanings of min(民) which was described as subject that was ruled by jun(君) and chen(臣) was revealed citizenship. But he had sovereign authority in the same breath. So that he must use his authority in other to elect good man as a jun(君) or chen(臣) and keep a close eye on them to serve their community. And he must try to carry out his duty and responsibility. 4) We can receive the wisdom of harmony which were derived from dai-tong(大同) in one hand and xiao-kang(小康) in the other hand. And we might take some ideas about the public order, the appropriate method, and moderation between moral value and material goods from the Confucius utopia.
