錦溪 黃俊良의 經世意識과 精神志向

Abstract

This study focused on an investigation into the governing awareness and spiritual orientation of Hwang Jun-ryang(1517-1563), a literary figure under Lee Hwang. The main points were as follows: Hwang held a government position in 1540 ~ 1563. Since those years fell in the Sahwa period, he had to consider the sources deeply. During the years in the government office, his spiritual orientation was divided mainly into Gyeongsejemin, which was to save the livelihood of people through the awareness of the reality, and Yeakchimin, which was to rule people with Yeak rather than laws. His Gyeongsejemin awareness can be checked in Dansanwoo and Dansanrak, which is based on "先天下之憂而憂 後天下之樂而樂" in Akyangrugi by Beom Jung-eom. It represents the Gyeongsejemin awareness of worrying before people and enjoying after them. Another characteristic of his was Yeakchimin awareness of Jayuhyeonga to rule people with Yeak rather than punishment. Working at a government position during the years when Yun Won-hyeong seized power, he considered sources deeply. His life those days was characterized by the fact that he dreamed of Guigeorae like Tao Yuanming but was not able to disregard his duties, thus following the path of Liuxia Hui. He had conflicts while following the path of Liuxia Hui because he could not give up the dream of leading a reclusive life in the woods like Tao Yuanming. His conflicts came from his sense of shame for not being able to save the livelihood of people with his small talent, sense of loss for not being able to take care of world affairs right due to his many diseases, orientation toward the purification of the heart and high and broad spiritual play, and wish for Uiri pursuit and mental training after resignation. Whiling serving as a public official, therefore, he tried to purify his heart, escape from the mundane affairs, and enhance his inmost thoughts, pursued true pleasure in the high and broad spiritual world, and was oriented toward a life of contemplating over the logic of things and fulfilling Seongmyeong fully. His spiritual orientation was characterized by the purification of the heart, Gohoitalsok, Hoyeonjinrak, and Jeonggwanmuli. He found the greatest Ui of Confucianism in a pursuit of truthful and wishful Seong through body and soul training and set a goal of his study to change his disposition based on it. Under the two axes of searching for truth through careful distinction between Ui and Yi and pursuing the study of mental training to keep his heart truthful and respecting others, he tried to reach the stage of Yan Hui and Tsengtzu. In this aspect, he followed the same path in his spiritual orientation as some moralists of the 16th century like Lee Hwang and Jo Shik.
