고려 문인의 『시경』에 대한 태도

Abstract

The Book of Songs have been one of important classics of Confucian thought and science in the anciant china. This study is intended to show that educated persons in the ancient Koryo state had approached with some attitudes and insisted some ideas on The Book of Songs. In the first period, educated persons had emphasized originality of a work through The Book of Songs. Subsequently, theory of temperament had becomed influential after the neo-confucianism had been received. Finally, Mokyun - Lee shaek had emphasized “Think of innocence(思無邪)” on the basis of The Book of Songs. The ideas that a poem comes from temperament of human seem to have been highly influenced by theory on poetry of the neo-confucianism in the Song(宋) dynasty. Kongzi(孔子) had made a comment “Think of innocence” in the Analects of Confucius(論語). Mokyun had positively received this theory of Kongzi and spreaded out his attitude and perception on The Book of Songs. It was said that a so-called temperament of human of the neo-confucianism had origin from the ethical doctrine that human nature is fundamentally good(性善說) of Mengzi(孟子). And “Think of innocence” basically consistent with the ethical doctrine that human nature is fundamentally good. Mokyun focused on the doctrine “Think of innocence”of Kongzi because he had admired Kongzi and Zhougong(周公) and culture of the Zhou nation. Therefore, Mokyun specially prefered “Think of innocence” of Kongzi to temperament of human, a new conception. And Mokyun pretended to be a protector and successor of the Zhou nation traditions that succeed to Kongzi.
