Abstract

This study introduces and examines Choi Jahae’s Hyogyeongjeolhae and Hyogyeongjeolui, shedding light on his interpretation of the Book of Filial Piety in terms of textual segmen tation and gugyeol(vernacular glosses). Both Hyogyeongjeolhae and Hyogyeongjeolui are based on the Old Script Version of the Book of Filial Piety, underpinned by the premise that this version is not a corrupted text. Among the Book of Filial Piety-related works in Joseon Korea, Choi Jahae’s writings stand out for their systematic structure and for reorganizing the Book of Filial Piety into the framework of the "Five Books", a unique distinguishing feature of his approach. A key interpretative characteristic of Hyogyeongjeolhae and Hyogyeongjeolui lies in their division of the Book of Filial Piety into seven sections, viewing each section and its internal passages as an organically interconnected text. In terms of gugyeol, these works reflect an effort to read entire sections as unified sentences, and they also include gugyeol for passages omitted by Zhu Xi. This demonstrates Choi’s intent to preserve the original text of the Old Script Version and his stance of not fully endorsing Zhu Xi’s deletion of certain passages and revisions to the text's structure.
