유구의 도덕서 <六諭衍義>의 판본고찰

Abstract

Though it was created by Fàn-hóng in order to promote the good with the descriptions of Rikiyu, 『Rikiyuengi』 was reproduced into a lot of different published versions and commentaries, having great political and moral effects on Ryukyu and Edo as well as China. Especially, the reproduction in that way had prospered in the different times since 『Rikiyuengi』 was firmly settled as a representative morals scripture of Ryukyu. Thus, the original book of morals became even more significant and influential, establishing itself as a masterpiece of all time. A different published version of 『Rikiyuengi』 began as a publication that Teijyunsoku made out in Fuchou at his cost in 1708 based on the original of the morals scripture of Ryukyu, which he received his master Chiku-tensyoku while studying abroad in China. The first different version became, since then, the very basis of many other versions that were put out in Ryukyu and Japan. Especially, it was delivered from Satsuma Domain in Ryukyu to Edo’s Shogun Yoshimune Tokukawa in 1719 and, after that, with new parts added, which were Muro-kyusou’s Japanese and Ogyu-sorai’s Japanese reading, became a governmental release in 1721, or 『Kwankak Rikiyuengi』 that became even more popular. Anyway, a number of different published versions including the popular one continued to be put out with supports from Daimyou, especially at Edo and Tokyo, and from leading benefactors around Japan. Those versions were later introduced to Joseon during the Meiji period when it was Japanese colony. From a lot of different published versions of 『Rikiyuengi』, thus, this study selected some major ones and then examined in an organized way how they were bibliographed and how they were put out.
