합천지역 남명 유적에 대한 문화론적 독해

Abstract

It is inevitable to keep the popularity and practicability of Nammyung studies in mind in order to make a new breakthrough in the study of Nammyung studies. In this aspect, this study focused on Nammyung's relics in Hapcheon. There are 12 major relics of Nammyung in the Hapcheon area including five in Samga-myeon, two in Hapcheon-eup, two in Ssangchaek-myeon, and one in Gaya-, Yongju- and Daebyeong-myeon. Of these places, Samga-myeon deserves special attention as the birthplace of Nammyung and the place where he pursued study after building Noiryongjeong and Gyebudang. Some of the relics are in the form of restored house of his birth; others in the form of a monument like Iyeonggongyuaebi; and still others in the form of literary scenery like Hambyeokru. Nammyung's relics exist in very diverse forms. The major aspects of Nammyung studies are well revealed in his relics in Hapcheon. They include a prediction of a great scholar at his birthplace, the paradoxical structure of his ego between Budong and Yeokdong at Noiryongjeong and Hambyeokru, his unexaggerated love for his parents on their tombstones, his sincere friendship at Hwanggangjeong and Samijeong, ideal relations between government officials and the people in Iyeonggongyuaebi, and his critical perception of the reality in Eulmyosajikso. Based on these, the study made proposals for the utilization of his relics in Hapcheon: a program of finding divine nature at Noiryongjeong, a route to explore the culture of Nammyung studies based on Hapcheon's internal and external network, and the reorganization of the Hoitong culture around Hambyeokru. These measures will help Nammyung studies based on space secure practicability as well as popularity.
