추강 남효온의 죽림칠현의 풍도 및 노장철학 수용의 양상

Abstract

Chugang (秋江) Nam Hyo-on (南孝溫, 1454-1492) was one of the six subjects who gave up their official positions and maintained fidelity (生六臣) and a person who completely denied the injustice of King Sejo's usurpation of the throne. After filing an appeal for Soreung's reinstatement, he gave up his path to field politics and chose the path of wandering and silence. The worldview of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and Lao-Zhuang's philosophy, which he became absorbed in during this process, gave him another hope for a new world. This article intends to examine the aspects of acceptance of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and Lao-Zhuang's philosophy as confirmed in Chu Gang's thoughts. This article mainly focuses on the following three things: the acceptance pattern of Chu Gang's Bamboo Forest Seven Sages' style and attitude, the acceptance pattern of Laotzu’s Taoism and Health Theory, and the acceptance pattern of Zhuangzi's critical spirit and 'Free and Easy Wandering (逍遙遊)' thought. These three items have in common a critical awareness of real politics as seen by the Bamboo Forest Seven Sages and Lao-Zhuang. In particular, Chugang believed that Laotzu and Zhuangzi's philosophies were rooted in the ideas of 'Breaking away from the teachings of saints and abandoning wisdom (絶聖棄智)' and 'Having nothing to worry about from stopping studies (絶學無憂)', respectively, and implicitly invoked Lao-tzu's philosophy to protest against the injustice of King Sejo's usurpation of the throne. Chugang also negatively viewed the interpretation of Laotzu from a health-oriented perspective and the interpretation of the 'Difference between the small and the great (小大之辯)' in the same way as Guo Sang's Commentary on Zhuangzi, which an independent way of interpreting Laotzu, which was not bound by traditional interpretations. By investigating these point, this study aims to expand the scope of the study of Chu Kang thought, which has been studied only from a Confucian perspective, and to present a new aspect of Lao-Zhuang philosophy found in Chu Gang thought.
