ABSTRACT

At the end of Koryo Dynasty, to accept Joo-Ja Confucianism was a result of deep consideration to avoid corruption of social system that Buddhism as Governing Doctrine for long years Koryo Dynasty. After establishing Cho-Seon Dynasty as new era of history in Korea, Confucianism had become to the practical way of politic and social system. Since the king Tae Jong, Sung-Confucianism had remarkable progress and bare many leaders(talented person) by the way of Confucian doctrine. Especially when King Seo-Jong ruled, Sung-Confucianism was the motive establishing golden cultural age of Cho-Seon Dynasty in her history. The center was the scholars of Jip-Hyun-Jeon School. This time seems that to ready blooming of Eastern Confucianism. That atmosphere cultivated many Confucianism scholars. After King Sei-Jo, Jeol-Eui School was formed and it became minority among Confusion Schools. Jong-Jik Kim who descendent of Jeol-Eui School of the end of Koryo Dynasty became the center figure of Sa-Lim School. Jeol-Eui School converted to Jong-Jik Kim, Koing-Pill Kim, and Kwang-Jo Cho. At the time of Yeon-San Gun Dynasty, between Hun-Gu Part as Conservative Part and Sha-Lim Part as Progressive Part happened a massacre that called Sha-wha. King Joong-Jong who is immediate following Yeon-San tried to reform Yeon-San’s failure due to stir Poong-wha up. As a result Joong-Jong’s reformation, Moral Philosophical Governing Ideology seemed to become the mainstream. Gee-meo Sha-wha(Massacre) caused to be in vain of the will of “New revolutionary leaders which called “Shin-Jin Confucian Scholar” such as Kwang-Jo Cho. After the massacres, Confucian scholars avoided to involve the political practice, but took a life in seclusion and studying alone. Such not involving caused Confucianism of Jo-Seon Dynasty to move from focusing on practicing to ideological thought. Wha-Dam and Hoi-Jae were main figures and funders of the sixteen century Jo-Seon Confucianism. Hwa-dam shirked involving political circles, but focused on study. He stressed spiritual monism. He opened Confucianism as Korea-naized as a new and special field of Confucianism. Hwa-dam’s ultimate purpose, however, was to deal Mystic place where ‘Spirit(Gee, 氣)’ and ‘Theory(Lee理)’ can united. Thus, no one can identify him as Spiritualistic Spiritualist and also just Spiritualist For Hoi-Jae to study of Chinese Classics which called Keung School was a study practical politics concern. It was better and more creative work than Joo-Ja. The political mind of Hoi-Jae expressed through studying Chinese Classics. Basic idea of Hoi-Jae is Min-Bon Thought(Ordinary People Centered Thought as much as Democracy of Western thought. That governing mind was pursuing the peace in the world, and the people is center of the politics. For Hio-Jae, the way of governing the nation is in the mind of the ruler. Sung-Confucianism of the sixteen century is Korea-ized Joo-Ja Confucianism. Thus, Hoi-Jae tried to re-understand the philosophical method of Joo-Ja. His studying achieved an independence of Jo-Seon Confucianism among variety of Confucian schools.
