Abstract

This study is an introduction for a systematic study on Diagrams and Explanations for Advancing Learning(Jinhakdo) written and edited by Gwon Chunlan(1539~1617), who was a student of Gu Bonglyong and Yi Hwang. In this study as an introduction, the methodology for self-cultivation toward an ideal character with great virtues of Confucianism, requirement for analysis on the diagrams from the viewpoints of iconography and also from the viewpoints of historical analysis based on the ground of history of diagrams in the times of Chosun Dynasty, and evaluation of his Jinhakdo, etc. are discussed for devepment of the future study. Gwon's Jinhakdo is a very precious work made in the academic context from Yi Hwang via Gu Bonglyong to Gwon. This context and their works except Yi have not been studied yet, but Gwon's work was edited not only in order to succeed to Yi's Ten Diagrams for Sage Learning(Seonghaksipdo) but also in order to complement and develop the methodology for the Sage Learning. All the diagrams included in this work are so creative and elaborate that in the future advanced study they should be studied critically one by one. The order of this study is as follow: 1. the history of making diagrams in Chosun Dynasty, 2. the academic context of Yi Hwang and his students and their speciality in their learning and working, 3. Relation between Ten Diagrams for Sage Learning and Jinhakdo, 4. Gwon's intent and idea for editing his work, and 5. the direction and methods of studying Jinhakdo.
