Abstract

This article aims to examine the established researches relating to Lee seung hyu(1224～1300) and Jewangun-gi and to investigate some points of dispute and finally to offer an another direction of the research about those. According to up to the present products, each researcher has been asserted these themes based on various historical views such as confucianism and the Sineesagwan-a historical view that approved some narrative tales and myths as historical facts and the Cheondosagwan-a historical perspective emphasizing the might of Heaven. At the result, their researches brought a essential historical view of Lee seung hyu into being equivocal. There were proses and poetries as a new historiography written by clerisy in a regime of military officers that couldn't describe at liberty about the current of times and a period of interfering by won dynasty. Their proses and poetries were the literature form of historiography based on confucianism. Their proses and poetries which based on the Sineesagwan and the Cheondosagwan were contrary to the main stream of ideas and morals at that times. The way of his describing which the way of historical investigation was adapted and many of documents were selected as evidence meaned that the historical view of the confucianism established by Kim- Busik(1075～1151) was getting to settle. Lee seung hyu stood in the pro-Won dynasty by accepting to reality of the Goryeo dynasty interfered by the Won dynasty and then he admired the Won dynasty and more over he had a real recognition that the King had to be focus of the governing and politics by emphasizing the right of the King. Lee seung hyu tried to write Jewangun-gi in focus on the prosperity and succession of the Goryeo dynasty. But As he tried to emphasize the dignify of the king and lineage of dynasty, he adopted to describe the way of the Sineesagwan a little bit. It can be appraised that Jewangun-gi offered the instruction of alert to the King by emphasizing the legitimacy of dynasty and the right of the King and suggested the warning toward the official subjects by criticizing the abnormal politics and then guided that the king and subjects could cooperate with each other in their place. In the process of seeking his intention, Lee seung hyu attempted to extend his description to the histories of Chinese dynasties and Korean dynasties before the Goryeo in Jewangun-gi. In the part of Chinese history, he tried to accept the legitimacy principle by appraising achievements which Samagwang adapted. In the part of Korean history, he adapted to develop from Gijajoseon to Samhan-Samguk based on the theory of considering Dangun as the founding father of the Korean.
