모당일기에 나타난 17세기 초 대구 사림의 강학활동과 강회講會

Abstract

Son Cheo-nul(孫處訥, 1553~1634) and Seo Sa-won(徐思遠, 1550~1615) were representative scholars of Daegu in the early 17th century. They established a socio-cultural foundation for overcoming the aftereffects of the war by revitalizing the seminar activities and collective learnings in Daegu area after the Imjin Waeran(Japanese invasion of Joseon in 1592~98). In particular, they intensively studied on the Four Confucian classics(四書) and Neo-Confucian books of the nature and principle such as the Elementary Learning(小學), the Mencius(孟子), The Classic of Changes(周易), and actively held intensive seminar activities and collective learnings(講會) at Yeongyeongseowon(硏經書院), Seonsajae (仙査齋), and Yeongmodang(永慕堂) to promote the culture of Daegu and trained students. The Daegu meetings for collective learnings under the influence of the Behavioral Rules of the National Confucian Academy (「學校模範」) showed some open and inclusive academic tendencies that combined and compromised Togye school and Yulgok school. Most scholars and students in Daegu area in the early 17th centurvoluntarily selected books to study and studied intensively for a certain period of time. They also ritualized their seminar activities and collec- tive learnings. Son’s the Modang Journals showed three interesting aspects of his seminar activities and collective learnings in the early 17th century Deagu. ① The venues for seminar activities and collective learnings held in nearby mountain temples or hermitages have moved to local public school(鄕校), local private academy(書院), and village private school(書齋). ② Buddhist monks serving at village private school(書齋僧) stayed in the village private school of the nobles to provide food or help with various tasks while studying Chinese writings and classic literatures with many students. ③ At the school, some of the poorly educated students left the school without permission, and the teacher took reprimands against them.
