李匡呂의 「讀老子五則」 分析

Abstract

The special thing in Kanghwa shool, 『Lao-zi』, among other things, was that it is deviated from the concept of Confucianism and searched for the new viewpoints of world. Of just 5 pieces of existing 『Lao-zi』Commentary in Joseon Dynasty, only 『Cho-won-dam-ro(椒園談老)』 by Lee Chung-Ik was away from points of Confucianism World and reflected the Buddhist viewpoints into the Commentary, which is due to the preceding study of Dok-no-ja-oh-chik(讀老子五則) by Lee Kwang-Ryeo. Influenced by Lee Kwang-Ryeo, Sinjack`s 『No-ja-gi-rak』 is also added by the Lao-zi`s own viewpoints intensively, I think, which is not yet identified because of the remaining preface. In terms of Sangsuhak(象數學), the commented Seo Myeung-Yoong`s 『Do-Duk-Gee-Kew(道德指歸)』 is rather exceptional, but the history of『Lao-zi』Commentary in Joseon Dynasty is a series of process to avoid the justification of Sung Confucianism. Most of 『Lao-zi』Commentary Scholars wanted to deviate from Sung Comfucianism`s world vision through the return into the Beginning-Confucianism(原始儒學). Yet, Lee Chung-Ik affected by Lee Kwang-Ryeo escaped from even Beginning- Confucianism. In this point, Dok-no-ja-oh-chik by Lee Kwang-Ryeo, although it didn`t occupy a part of the Commentary of 『Lao-zi』in Joseon Dynasty, cannot help accepting a big help toward it. Lee Kwang-Ryeo got necessary passages from Chapter 1, 2 and 39(9) among Chapter 81 in 『Lao-zi』, summarized his own idea and expressed it. Lee Kwang-Ryeo thought, "The world of Truth is equal to that of Practice, not appearing as a Name. He showed the Practice as the Name, mentioning that afterward that time, since people clinged to the Name, they didn`t appeal the Practice itself." Also, explaining the Chapter 2 in 『Lao-zi』, the reason lies in this point why ancient Saint forced people not to tell the beauty from the goodness. Lee Kwang-Ryeo`s this view deviated from even Confucius`s Philosophy, which had pursued the harmony between the Pen and the Quality. While Confucius had to take the 'Practice' corresponding with the justification in order to correct the chaos in those days pursuing only "Justification", Lee Kwang-Ryeo insisted that he had to remove the Justification through explaining 『Lao-zi』because people returned the Practice again. By his viewpoint, the followers - Lee Chung Ik and Sinjack- got the freedom deviating from even the Beginning-Confucianism so we need to evaluate that it had great of fect on the history Intelligence in Joseon Dynasty.
