포은 정몽주의 학문과 절의

Abstract

We are remembering Poeun(圃隱) Jeong MongJoo(鄭夢周) as typical loyalist and figure who opens neo-confucianism of our country. Actually, Jeong MongJoo died for his chastity for trying to insist on just cause of confucianism and to take care of Koryeo Dynasty. Jeong MongJoo was raised as ‘the Master of Oriental Ri-Learning(東方理學之祖)’ by Mogeun(牧隱) Yi Saek(李穡). By the way, GimyoSarim(己卯士林) regard Jeong MongJoo as master of confucianism(儒宗), they are men who are around 100 years later, after Jeong MongJoo had died. They asserted that authentic successor who succeeds to confucian principle and philosophy of Jeong MongJoo is Hanwheondang(寒暄堂) Gim GoingPhil(金宏弼) after seating Jeong MongJoo on master of confucianism of out country through the Enshrinement Movement of Confucian Scholars(文廟從祀運動). Gim GoingPhil is their teacher and is admired the most by them. They stood for the theory of Dotong, completed a genealogy which leads from Jeong MongJoo to Gim GoingPhil. genealogy of Dohak(道學) they make is accepted by the later confucian scholars, they are a leading historic winner throughout the Joseon dynasty, and we are influenced by a large part of him today too. But It is form of Jeong MongJoo that GimyoSarim remember. We need to redress points that are inconsistent with historic fact. we need to remember and to draw up his figure to our era.
