小訥 盧相稷 『大學』 해석의 양상

Abstract

Noh Sang-jik (Sonul) was an outside Confucian scholar representing the Gyeongsang-do (southeastern) region during the transition to the modern era. This study focused on Noh Sang-jik's book on Chinese classics, 『Saseo Euihae』 (Questions and Answers on the Four Books)」, an appropriate book to understand the academic grounds and inclination. 『Saseo Euihae』 is a book of various questions and answers that Noh Sang-jik had while studying Chutzu's 『Four Books with Notes』 under Heo Jeon, a Southerner of the West Central region, during his younger years. This study focused on interpreting 『Daehak (Great Learning)』because 『Daehaks』is an introduction to Confucianism, and Noh Sang-jik's views on it are considered helpful in understanding his academic inclination. Through 『Saseo Euihae』, it is possible to glimpse Noh Sang-jik's objective academic attitude of accepting Confucian teachings regardless of school, including Southern School and Old School. 「Daehak Euihae」 refers to the interpretation of 『Daehaks』 among 『Saseo (Four Books). As a result of reviewing the composition of 「Daehak Euihae」, its characteristics were as follows: First, compliance with the 『Daehak Janggu』(verses and paragraphs) system. Second, it is an elaboration and complement to Chutzu’s theory. Third, it accepts overall theories, including those of the Old School and Southern School. Fourth, it used various interpretation methods. As a result of examining the essence of the interpretation of 『Daehak』, its characteristics were as follows: First, in terms of content, it can be divided into system, knowledge and conduct, and concept. Second, system-related interpretation is related to elucidating the 『Daehak Janggu』 system. Third, the interpretation of knowledge and behavior is related to the classics of the Seongho School. Fourth, the concept-related interpretation gives a specific example compromising various theories of the Chutzu Schools of Joseon. This is all related to the empirical academic traditions that had been popular in the regions close to the capital since the 18th century. It is presumed that he learned these traditions through his teacher, Heo Jeon. This indicates that the local academic traditions widely influenced Noh Sang-jik.
