Abstract

Korea is the nation with the longest history in the Northeast Asia and its own ideas and philosophy. This history developed with the foundation of Korea’s unique scriptures and it can be considered as the fundamental element of human education. It aims to cultivate the men beneficial to all while creating the world of balance. That is, it was the best educational culture of filial piety to achieve the world peace. One of the greatest human intellectual achievements, Confucianism also inherited this Korea’s unique ideology and the educational culture of filial piety. Also, Confucianism developed and established from the writing system of Korea. Confucianism’s backbone is the thought of the divination and it began with the Bokhee of Baedalguk. King Weng of Zhou Dynasty in China adopted and Confucius completed during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. Confucius complied the 6 Scriptures by describing Yo and Sun eras, honored King Weng and Wu and respected the emperor of Zhou. These scriptures are based on Korea’s thoughts of benevolence and filial piety. After this historical development in China, Confucianism introduced to Korea during the Three Kingdoms Period and Koreanized. However, Neo‐Confucianism was introduced to Korea during the Goryo Dynasty and had a great impact on Korean thoughts and education. It was the process of sinoficiation. At the end of Joseon Dynasty, Western thoughts and Catholicism came to Korea and Korea’s thoughts and the culture of education was destroyed from the roots. Now Korea experiences the crisis from the “violence in school”. This crisis did not come in a day the portent symptoms were already existed. The government did not recognize and failed to attempt preventing these phenomena. The fundamental problem was the adoption of Western education system without criticism. Lessens and messages of Korea’s own scriptures of 182 events of Chamjeongyegyeong, Yeje, Book of Divination and Gongye provide the knowledge to overcome the crisis. It is not too late to adopt the education of filial piety as the foundation of Korean educational system.
