문암 손후익의 가계와 유림단의거

Abstract

Munam Son Huik(1888~1953) recognized Paris Jangseo Movement in 1919 as a matter of course of Confucians. But when the Movement did not turn out as successfully as expected, Son, along with Lee Jungeop, stressed solidarity of Yurimdan(Confucian Scholars) and attempted a petition for independence again, together with Kim Changsook who were then outside the country. Son's networking with Hanju School as well as with Kim Changsook was the significant influence on his petition for independence. Son had a teacher-student relationship with Gwak Jongseok, Lee Duhoon and Jang Seokyeong and knew Kim Changsook, Lee Giwon and Kin Hwang who carried the legacy of Hanju School. It was also noted that Son was related to Lee Manyu, who was his great grandfather and childhood teacher therefore knew Lee Jungeop, Kwon Sangik and Lee Wongak from Jeongjae School. This influenced the background of the petition for independence to China which was developed not only by Hanju School but also by Lee Jungeop and others. Son Huik continued to support Kim Changsook in the country and established a foundation for the 2nd Yurimdan's Independence Movement. In 1923, he supported fund-raising by Kim Changsook, through Jeong Sugi, his brother-in-law and in 1925, actively participated in the whole process of the 2nd Yurimdan's Independence Movement. Although his resistance against Japan started by a diplomatic means in a form of a petition for independence, he eventually joined Kim Changsook and advocated his independence war, which made him actively participate in fund-raising for the war. The petition for independence and the 2nd Yurimdan's Independence Movement led by him were the most well-known Yurimdan's Independence movements in the 1920s. Son and his family played significant roles in the Movements.
