『간재선생예설(艮齋先生禮說)』 일고(一考)

Abstract

This Paper is research for Jeon, Woo(田愚: 1841-1922, the nom de plume: Ganjae)'s lixue(禮學). Jeon, Woo a renowned scholar of Yulgok School at the end of the Joseon Dynasty left many achievements in lixue as well as Neo-Confucianism. However, there are not many studies have been done in lixue. In this situation, this paper looked at his major book, The Collection of Ganjae's theory of Li. Through this research, I wanted to examine the basic characteristics of Ganjae's Li-theory, the basics of Lixue, and academic status on the history of Korean Lixue. The Collection of Ganjae's Theory of Li is selected and classified The Collection of Ganjae's Writing's letters about li and theory of li. There are two versions, being published in 1933 and a supplemented and revised version in 1936. They consist of celebrate the coming-age & wedding ritual, ordinary ritual, funeral ritual, ancestral ritual, national ritual etc. This ritual system differs in part from the system of Zhu Xi's Family Ritual. The overall characteristics and directionality of Ganjae's Lixue are as follows. First, Ganjae mainly tried to look at the Yulgok School's theory of Li and find the most valid argument. Second, he was based on Zhu Xi's theory, Classic of Li, Third, he tried to respect and succeed Jeonjae & Maesan's theory of li about the ritual which has traditionally been controversial. These points show that Ganjae's theory of li based on Jeonjae & Maesan s theory of li. Finally, Ganjae was basically trying to emphasize and strictly adhere to the zongfa(clan rules)'s principles, revealing the nature law and human nature. It is his lixue's direction.
