AB - This research examines the study of Mencius by Jeong Do-jeon(鄭道傳, 1342～1398). Jeong Do-jeon authored 『Gyeongjemungam(經濟文鑑)』, 『Gyeongjemun- gambyeoljip(經濟文鑑別集)』, 『oseongyeonggukjeon(朝鮮經國典)』 and more. Articles such as 「Bulssijapbyeon(佛氏雜辨)」 and 「Simgiripyeon(心氣理篇)」 are also included in anthology. In many of which Jeong vigorously expressed his views, while utilizing 『Mencius』 as his theoretical base, of Confucian Studies in the interpretation of Confucian Classics. Such materials offer a useful glimpse into his study of Mencius while Jeong never submitted any writings related to 『Mencius』 As a result of investigation, Jeong’s study of Mencius is understood that based on the foundation of anti-heresy theory, he had a strong intention of awakening people and made a novel attempts to interpret one’s mind. The direction was less about studying the original intention of the doctrine but more focusing on activities to inspire people. In Jeong’s consciousness in which he meant to install a foundation stone in building a new nation, the doctrine was used as a way to instill inspiration than its original meaning. Regarding the role of a monarch, he would quote Mencius, actively evaluate spectators, or introspect the roles of a monarch and his subjects, while making a great effort to maximize the effectiveness of the study as a tool of inspiration. To interpret in terms of Confucius Studies, it was to embrace.
The world view of Philosophy of Qi(氣一元論), suggested as a theory of anti-heresy, and the understanding of one’s mind were considered as more the stance of Northern Song Dynasty scholars than that of the Doctrines of Master Zhuzi(朱子, 1130-1200); and insights regarding one’s mind is understood as the very root of Susa Learning(洙泗學) combining teachings of Confucius and Mencius.
The understanding of Jeong Do-jeon’s interpretation of 『Mencius』 is to contribute to investigating the academic atmosphere at the early founding of Joseon Dynasty as well as a detailed aspect of Confucian Classics.
