茶山과 石泉의 詩經學과 易經學에 관한 일고찰

Abstract

Dasan, Chung, Yakyong and Seokchun, Shin, Jak are scholars who represent archetypes of Gyunghak of the Silhak School in the late Joseon Dynasty. While Dasan’s scholarship has characteristics of Kyungsehak and social criticism, Seokchun’s scholarship reveals essential peculiarity of Hungohak. Their scholarly characteristics are well shown in their annotations of Sikyung and Yoekkyung. Both of them keep their distances from Jujahak which is the scholarly mainstream in the Joseon dynasty. While Dasan’s Sigyunghak and Yeokkyunghak adopt Juja’s interpretations on scriptures, they also pursue their independent interpretations. On the contrary, Seokchun’s Sigyunghak and Yeokkyunghak have great emphasis on Hungo without having any trace of Jujahak’s characteristics. Gyunghak of the Silhak school through Dasan’s and Seokchun’s Gyunghak shows the coexistence of characteristics of Jujahak and independent interpretations set apart from Jujahak. While they positively evaluate a spirit of Jujahak in their inheritage, they also focus on Hungohak or the criticism of the reality. If the analysis only focuses on Gyunghak of the Silhak school in relation to Jujahak, it seems reasonable to argue that Gyunghak of the Silhak school positively embrace a spirit or an aspect of Jujahak.
