소눌 노상직의 서당교육과 그 문인들의 활동

Abstract

No Sang-jik(盧相稷) was a traditional Confucian scholar who was born during the chaotic period of the late Joseon Dynasty and survived until the Japanese colonial period. Although he was a successful Confucian scholar, he gave up the path to becoming a government official through the civil service examination early on. Instead, he devoted his entire life to protecting Confucianism, the traditional discipline, under the banner of national salvation through education during the turbulent times of transition to modern times, and to providing education at private schools to foster talents who could resist the reality of the Japanese colonial period. It is estimated that his disciples numbered around 2,000, which is two to three times the number of 808 people included in the Jaamgyecheop(紫巖契帖), a list of participants in Jaamhakgye(紫巖學契), a school association formed by his disciples. They were distributed throughout the country, centered around Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do, and actively engaged in activities centered around their teacher No Sang-jik and No Sang-jik's Seodang during the Japanese colonial period. He actively participated in Noh Sang-jik's Seodang education, Seodang lectures, and Jaam Academic Society. In 1919, 13 writers signed the Paris Book Movement together with his teacher Noh Sang-jik, and he also greatly contributed to the national independence movement. After Noh Sang-jik passed away in 1931, he held a Confucian funeral for his teacher in accordance with traditional Confucian etiquette and published a collection of his writings, thereby commemorating his teacher. He devoted his efforts to protecting Confucianism, a traditional discipline. Paying attention to this fact, we looked into No Sang-jik's private education and the activities of his disciples.
