17세기 초 퇴계학파 월천계의 동향과구전 김중청의 활동

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the activities of Kim Jung-cheong, who was the best pupil of Wolcheon Jomok in the trend of Toegye School in the early years of the 17th century. Gujeon Kim Jung-cheong (1567~1629) is a descendant disciple of Toegye School, who represents disciples of Wolcheon Jomok groups with Joseongdang Kim Taek-lyong. Wolcheon’s disciples thought that the words and conduct of the master could be the best pupil of the Toegye academic stream. Thus, in 1614, Wangcheon was enshrined the sole sacrificial rites among the disciples of Toegye in Dosanseowon, the memorial hall only for the great scholars Toegye. It was extended to Jeongsanseowon located in Yecheon and Changhaeseowon located in Bonghwa. However, due to the pro-Daebuk political propensity of Wolcheon groups entering the government officials, it gradually became isolated in the country society of the Yeongnam Region. Kim Jung-cheong led the movement for worship and sacrificial rites of Wolcheon in cooperation with Daebuk regime. From this role, although it is from a critical point of view, there was a saying that Wolcheon is a representative of the Toegye’s scholarship and Kim Jung-cheong is a representative of the Wolcheon’s scholarship. Wolcheon’s academic stream was led by Kim Jung-cheong. In actual activity Kim Jung-cheong succeeded Wolcheon’s study. In the last years, a lecture activity centered on Gumidang has the largest number of scholars among Wolcheon’s disciples. It can be said that Kim Jung-cheong is an appropriate translator of Wolcheon groups and a representative of Wolcheon groups scholarship. However, Kim Jung-cheong was showing a tendency to cooperate with the Daebuk regime to reach Wolcheon's the sole sacrificial rites among the disciples of Toegye in Dosanseowon. After this problem was solved, he did not show much affection to the Daebuk regime. Rather, he along with Bonghwa Geumssi lived in the Bupo and Yean Kimssi lived in the Hangok was gradually away from the Daebuk regime. Wolcheon groups has undergone a considerable decline in the Yeongnam area since the collapse of the Daebuk regime. As Kim Jung-cheong was enshrined in Bancheonseowon in 1831, the learning of Wolcheon groups was not completely gone. The trend and tradition of the Wolcheon groups academic stream in the country society are still an academic task that needs to be examined.
