ABSTRACT

The scientific research and cultural development of the King Sejong's reign was primarily made through the efforts of King Sejong and the scholars of that time. On the other hand, however, it was possible because of the academic achievements of senior scholars. Among the senior scholars, Kwon Geun had the most influence on the academic research and cultural development of the King Sejong's reign. Kwon Geun's studies influenced the academic world of the King Sejong’s era in three main ways. The first is the transfer of learning that has led to the educational activities of the study of the Andong Kwon’s family and the national school. The leading figures who inherited Kwon Geun's studies through the family studies and the national school were Kwon Je, Kwon Ram, Choi Hang, Seo Gyeong-jeong, and Byun Kye-ryang. They had something in common that they worked in Jiphyeonjeon during the King Sejong’s era. This clearly shows that Kwon Geun's students played a central role in the government's studies of the Sejong’s era, which is represented by Jiphyeonjeon. The second is the effect of the establishment of educational and ritual systems. Kwon Geun worked as a government official in the field of education and created various institutions for government education and national ritual. These contents have been legalized and become a important reference for the establishment of ritual systems in the era of King Taejong and Sejong. This means that Kwon Geun's studies influenced the government academic world in the early Joseon Dynasty through law and system as well as transfer through teacher-student relations. The third is the influence of academic writings. Among his writings, Iphakdoseol and Ogyeongcheon-gyeon-rok the book about Confucian classics were published several times and distributed to scholars. And Gyeongseo-gugyeol, the method of reading Confucian classics became an important guide to the study of Confucian classics in the early Joseon Dynasty. In addition, Hyohaengrok had an important impact on the compilation of Samganghaengshildo in terms of content and format.
