This paper first examines the theory of general education curriculum in the Joseon Dynasty and examines the Crown Prince education curriculum focusing on Dongmong(童蒙) period. Because the goal of the Confucianism is to cultivate human nature, the curriculum was for the perfection of the holistic personality. In particular, the curriculum of the Sohak(小學)-Daehak(大學)-linked curriculum proposed by the Zhu-Xi(朱子) is composed of textbooks, and it is taught Sohak(小學, text for child) in Dongmong period, and Daehak(大學, text for adult) is learned after becoming an adult, and other the Four Chinese Classics[四書] and history books are learned. The Crown Prince was also educated on the basis of the ideology of ethical education. Particularly, for the personality education, several prime ministers were selected as the teachers of Crown Prince, Sabu-fellow[師傅賓客]. The Sabu-fellow participated in the ceremony of lecture meeting and checked the contents of the prince's education. The prince has learned to respect the courtesy and the master by humiliating through the ceremonies such as the lecture meeting. It was the ordinance of the Crown Prince to study the textbooks set forth in the curriculum of neo-Confucianism. However, prior to the study of Sohak(小學), The Crown Prince also learned the Chinese character through basic textbooks and learned the basic ideology of neo-Confucianism. In particular, the books compiled in the Joseon Dynasty are included as well, such as Hunmongjahoi(訓蒙字會) and Dongmongsunseub(童蒙先習). In early 17th century, Sohakjibsul(小學集說) was used as a lecture book. In the latter half of the 17th century, Sohakjibju(小學集註) which was compiled by Lee-Yi[李珥], and the new Korean Annotation. It is replaced by the text of the Crown Prince lecture. The royal priesthood education reflected the research results of the Chosun academy at the time.
