鄭夢周와 文天祥의 忠臣像 비교

Abstract

This article showed the aspects of a model of loyalty that Jeong mong-ju and Mun cheon-sang showed through 『SeongInRok(成仁錄)』written by Yun du-su(尹斗壽). This paper divided the aspects of these two loyalists into three types such as ‘an assessment of the usual nature’, ‘an assessment of attitude on their deathbed’ and ‘an assessment after their death’ and discussed something in common and the difference. Common points between them are that they passed the state examination and became a high public post in the nature, the differences are that Jeong mong-ju had primarily the nature of a writer who did diplomatic activity for the Goryeo Dynasty with high talent and spirit and excellent words and writing skill, on the other hand, Mun cheon-sang had primarily the nature of a warrior who dedicated to fight in a war for protecting the King and the Song Dynasty at all risk. In the attitude on their deathbed, there was something in common between them, which they valued their death lightly, the differences are that Jeong mong ju wrote a lot of the contents of lamentation on the Goryeo Dynasty’s decadence, on the other hand, Mun cheon-sang showed the attitude of overcoming all threats by Yuan Dynasty and conciliation. While it was recognized they had something in common with keeping patriotism that was not bound by a profit of reality and bright and eternal value like a full moon in the assessment after their death, the differences are that Jeong mong-ju was assessed as showing the achievement like Confucius who is the saint of Confucian ideology, on the other hand, Mun cheon-sang was assessed as being excellent more than Baek I(伯夷) & Suk jae(叔齊), moreover, it is unusual in that he recorded his feeling of the transience of the Dynasty. It can be said that Yun du-su published『SeongInLok』for praising Jeong mong-ju, the reason why it was the time was when confirmed that Jeong mong-ju was the father of Joseon’ Confucian and it assessed the performance of ethical and bureaucratic of Jeong mong-ju at the same time, in addition, he considered to have high possibility of using as the method of reformation for a local people and children when he was a governor of Yeon-an, and ultimately, it can said that it was for sounding the alarm to the social conditions which followed a benefit of reality and minimized loyalty.
