고계(古溪) 이휘령(李彙寜)의 학문과 퇴계학맥에서의 위상

Abstract

This study is designed to research on the history and life of Lee Hui Ryeong (pen name Gogye)'s gahak (家學, family study). Then, the study focused on the his position in the School of Toegye and the transfer of gahak from him to his descendent Lee Ga Won (pen name Yeonmin). Lee Hui Ryeong was a descendant of the 10th generation of Lew Hwang. He was famous at the period as he put priority on the study which was empirical and practical and deeply researched the lihak(理學, Learning of Principle), which was the family study transferred from his ancestors. Most of all, he was very conscious that he had transferred the tradition of the shimhak (心學, Learning of Mind) since the period of Lee Hwang. He expressed this consciousness in his poem by often quoting the poem words such as 'chuwol(秋月, autumn moon)' and 'yoguem(瑤琴, music instrument)' which were used by Zhu Xi in his poem "jaegeogamheung(齋居感興)". He tried to find out the ancient melody of Lee Hang's shimhak by cherishing the geomungo(琴) of Zhu Xi and Lee Hwang's shimhak. On the other hand, the Yeongnam academic circle to which Lee Hui Ryeong belonged during 19th century, there was a severe conflict between the academic schools (Byeongron and Horon) on which school could keep the ancestral tablet of Lee Hwang. When the dispute between two schools was developed into the struggle between old families rooted in Yeongnam, he kept the middle way between two schools and argued for the reconciliation even though he belonged to the school of Byeongron, After the passing of Lee Hwang, the family study belonging to Jinseong Lee family was divided into several studies by his descendents in late Joseong period. He took over the family study which Lee Hwang started and passed it over to his descendent. His study was passed over to his son Lee Man Hee, his niece Lee Man suk, his grandson Lee Jung In, and his grand-grandsons Lee Sang Ho and Lee Young Ho and etc. Lee Ga Won got educated under his uncle Lee Sang Ho. As such, the study of Yeonmin was not made in a day but has been based on the tradition of lihak and gahak which have been passed down from Lee Hwang through Lee Hui Ryeong up to now.
