金長生의 『小學』 주석서 편찬과 西人 小學說의 수립

Abstract

This study is aimed at exploring how Kim Jang-saeng’s(1548-1631) compilation of annotation for Sohak influenced Seo-in’s consciousness of their scholastic mantle. Previous studies simply viewed Kim Jang-saeng’s annotation for Sohak as a part of the process in disseminating and researching Sohak. Or they never go further than mentioning it as a study conducted before the emergence of the Nam-in Sohak theory in the 18th century. In light of this dimension, there is a need of more research to clearly prove impacts of Gyeongseobyeonui(經書辨疑)-Sohak, the first compiled analysis of Joseon scholars’ theories, on Seo-in members. Therefore, this study analyzes the compilation process of Gyeongseobyeonui-Sohak and its contents to find out how Seo-in’s consciousness of their scholastic mantle was shaped. Moreover, circumstances surrounding the inclusion of Sohak in the scripture annotation are explored. Kim Jang-saeng’s research on Sohak analyzed Joseon scholars’ theory and Chinese theory focused on Zhuxi’s view (Southern Song dynasty, 1130-1200). It is thought that he intended to establish Joseon’s genealogy in researching Sohak, as his compilation of Chinese and Joseon’s theories excluded the theory of Buk-in but involved that of Nam-in with a view to highlighting Yi I’s theory. This is well explained by the contents of Gyeongseobyeonui -Sohak, which mostly demonstrated doubtful parts of original texts, as opposed to other book. Furthermore, most theories of Zhuxi and Yi I carried in Gyeongseobyeonui are placed in Sohak. On the contrary, only one theory of Yi Hwang (1501-1570), who has the highest percentage in Joseon scholars’ theories carried in Gyeongseobyeonui, is included. In reference to the theory of Nam-in, a great number of Jeong Gyeong-se’s (1563-1633) theories are included, but it is notable that Yi Hwang’s theory is found less. The purpose is considered to establish Seo-in’s consciousness of their scholastic mantle for Sohak focused on Yi I’s theory. It seems to be intended to equip practical spirits of Gimyosarim with the theoretical foundation in an attempt to include Seo-in in the genealogy of Joseon Sohak theory.
