『霞谷集』 定本化를 위한 校勘 方案

Abstract

This study intends to present a work plan for the most urgent work of making the critical collection book “The works of Hagok(霞谷集)” for the overall understanding and evaluation of Hagok Jeong Jedu’s academic ideology. In addition to the introduction of the existing Jeong Jedu literature, to the study reviewed some new methods necessary for the emendation for practical sympathetic work. The present study looked at the emendation sympathetic work from three opinions. First, to enhance the academic understanding of Jeong Jedu’s writings, the references published in the writings were identified; and many previous histories were also explained. Second, in order to understand the overall academic thought of Hagok Jeong Jedu, it was necessary to reveal the academic importance by paying attention to the academic contents and names of people quoted or mentioned very briefly in one or two places in his writings. Third, in order to understand the academic activities of Hagok Jeong Jedu’s life, it was necessary to refer not only to Chinese literature but also to other documents from the Joseon Dynasty at that time and the claims of other scholars. In particular, it was necessary to clarify which version of Wang Yangming’s literature referenced by Jeong Jedu. In other words, according to a recently revealed study, the literature referenced by Jeong Jedu was different from the literature referenced by current researchers. Therefore, it was necessary to proceed with the emendation work based on the literature referenced by Jeong JeDu. Currently, researchers generally refer to the modern Chinese version of 『The Collection of Wang Yangming(王陽明全集)』, which was published in sympathy with 『The Complete Collection of Wang Wenchenggong(王文成公全集)』 published in 1572. The 1572 edition version was based on the 『The collected works of the Wang Wenchenggong(王文成公全書)』, edited by Qian Dehong. However, if we look at the writings in Jeong Jedu’s 『The works of Hagok』, we can see that he did not refer to 『The collected works of the Wang Wenchenggong』, but rather to 『The Transcript of Master Yangming(阳明先生文錄)』 compiled by Huang Guan. Qian Dhong selected and edited the material left by Wang Yangming and compiled 『The Chronology of Master Yangming’s Life(陽明夫子年譜)』 according to his own opinion. It should be noted why Jeong Jedu referred only to 『The Transcript of Master Yangming』 at the time and the academic environment. In addition, based on the letter and the text of appeals contained in Jeong Jedu’s 『The works of Hagok』, it was necessary to find out the correspondence of the other party to whom the letter was exchanged and clarify the relevant facts of the text of appeal to understand the situation of relations with the Joseon Dynasty’s academic community at that time.
