주세붕(周世鵬)의 도동곡(道東曲) 연구

Abstract

This study first focuses on the fact that <DoDongGok>, composed by Joo, Se-bung is used in HyangSa (an elaborated expression with food to spirits of the dead), Baekwoon-dong Seowon (private Confucian academy founded in Baekwoon province). Then, based on the sacred rite in JookGeJi, this studied out the meaning and role of <DoDongGok> by considering specific ceremony. In general, HyangSa at most private Confucian academies took place in accordance with the SeokJeonEui of Munmyo (Confucius’s Shrine). To explain the reason why <DoDongGok> is composed of nine chapters, this study first compared ritual ceremonies in JookGeJi with SeokJeon ceremonies both in 『GukJoOhRyeEui』 and 『GukJoOhRyeSeoRye』, then, it discussed how <DoDongGok> was sung during the HyangSa ceremony in reality. <DoDongGok>, a total of nine chapters, was sung in the process of libation to the god during HyangSa ceremony held both in spring and autumn at Baekwoon-dong Seowon. More specifically, the nine chapters were divided in three. The first three chapters were presented at the first libation (ChoHeon), and the second three chapters were recited at the middle libation (Aheon). Finally, the last three chapters were performed at the final libation (JongHeon). <DoDongGok>predicates Joo, Se-bung’s point of view that AnHyang should be considered the main purpose on reciting Sijo in Chosun Confucianism while Jeong, Mong-ju was recognized as the original from the list of scholars who legitimately transmit the Dohak established during JungJong era. The main plot of DoDongGok was superficially outlined by Confucian scriptures, however, it put focus on good deeds of An-hyang, the object of rites, to be widely-known. Specifically, this study discussed the theory of Dotong (Legitimate Transmission of the Orthodoxy) in <DoDongGok>, from the viewpoint when it is closely connected to AnHyang, could bring out a question of ‘handing down genealogy of Confucian enlightenment’ which surpasses acceptation or general knowledge.
