论韩中实学思潮之异同

Abstract

This study compared common things and differences in the Shilhak trend between Korea and China. Shilhak(Realist School of Confucianism) based on social and cultural background aiming at passes over governing thought of Confucianism started reflecting both Korean and Chinese periodical characteristics and unique nationality. The 16th century(Ming Dynasty) of China and the 17th century of Joseon Dynasty when Shilhak began to be discussed in earnest created common things and differences in Shilhak that tries to maintain and go over Confucianism. This study examined common things in ‘jingshizhiyong’, ‘jishiqiumin’, and ‘fanduifugu’ on the basis of thought and periodical trends that representative scholars in the two countries had, and suggested the grounds. In addition, the differences were analyzed from the comparative perspective because it seemed to be active in the problem of ‘theory and practice’, position about ‘zhengde, liyong, housheng’, and ‘acceptance of advanced culture’. According to the findings, Korean and Chinese Shilhak is not merely pragmatism, but aims at humanism to overcome limits of a hierarchical society. This is the grounds that are consistently shown in common things and differences and the vitality of Korean-Chinese the Shilhak trend. Silhak scholars’ spirit and thought that maintains the meaning of Kyukmulchiji(gaining knowledge by the study of things) and aims at new values as well as the spirit of the times is enough to suggest implications about what we have to maintain and pursue in the era of changes at the same time. In addition, they tried affectionate communication with the world without losing virtuous morality. Their thought based on love for humans will remind us what we overlook these days. This study quoted original texts of classics directly and the literature search methodology was used. Also, it was written in Chinese so it was based on the method of Chinese language.
