浦渚 趙翼의 『中庸私覽』의 經學的 고찰 -雙峯 饒魯 說 受容과 관련하여-

Abstract

It is said that intellectuals in the 17th century saw Zhuxi studies as an anachronism. And, works that criticized Zhuxi’s commentary in the Chosŏn period have received high praise since the time of the Japanese colonial period. They were taken as a model of a progressive idea because they rebelled against the authority of Zhuxi studies, which predominated the field. In this view, Chungyong Saram by Cho Ik is also said to be a crisicizm of Zhuxi studies. but, I think that it is an incorrect theory. Cho Ik (趙翼) is Confucian scholar of Korea in the 17th century. He wrote commentary on the Doctrine of the Mean. He quotes commentaries by Raolu (饒魯). He refers them by Raolu, because he places emphasis on analysis of text. he does not accept the criticism of Zhuxi studies themselves. Jingxue is the Hermeneutics of the Confucian classics. The methodologies for Jingxue seen in the Chungyong Saram (『中庸私覽』) by Cho Ik has very special methodology. The Chungyong Saram aims primarily at carrying out anaccurate exegesis of the text itself. Cho Ik criticizes the commentary of Zhuxi with Zhuxi's own words. Even in he cases when he does not agree with Zhuxi's commentary, he does not express himself against it. He find the similar opinions from Zhuxi's other works, such as letters, or Sayings of Zhuzi and he says that his opinion is the same as Zhuxi's. He say that he is just following Zhuxi's words, instead of claiming that he has a new opinion. But his commentary is not the same not only Zhuxi's but others. If one tries to explain the Jingxue of Korea with the political motivations of commentaries or the criticism of Zhuxi studies, one can never arrive to a full understanding of its contents. The Jingxue point of view can bring a new understanding of the history of Korean Jingxue.
