Abstract

This study has reviewed Hwang Jun-ryang who was a disciple of Toegye Yi Hwang and placed endeavors in establishment of seodangs (school) and jeongsa (place of study) at the time there was active effort for establishment of sedang and seowon by Toegye and his scholars. Seowon was a representative folk village organization of local elite scholars after the mid-period of Joseon Dynasty that it has been an important theme to understand the Joseon society, and therefore, there have been number of studies thereof, but it is still insufficient to explain the seowon dispersion movement or their seowon activities and so forth by the scholars under Toegye. Toegye was the one who dispersed and settled seowon in the Jeseon society by defining its characteristics and laid down the foundation, but significant attribute has to be made for the works of Toegye scholars who sympathized to the seowon principle and participated in the seowon dispersion movement. Hwang Jun-ryang was a representative person who was actively engaged in the seowon activities together with Toegye in the beginning period to disperse seowons. When serving as the local officers of Sinnyeong, Danyang, Seongju and others, Hwang Jun-ryang was deeply involved in the operation of Baekwun-seowon and Youngbong-seowon, and furthermore, Sinnyeong Baekhak-seodang, Seongju Nokbong-jeongsa and Gonggok-seodang were established to undertake an important role for expansion of the education principle of Toegye. Therefore, the review on his seowon activities is considered to contribute to a certain degree to understanding of Toegye's seowon dispersion movement.
