This is a study on thought of Yi Jung-gu who had lived between 1564 and 1635. On his thoughts any comprehensive approach had not been tried, but in the sphere of literature and history a few studies show parts of his whole idea and thoughts. This study is in order to broaden our understanding of his iddea and thoughts. The point of approach is that he was a government official rather than a pure scholar, who gave his attention to manage Chosun Dynasty with a statecraft based on Neo-Confucianism. In his life Neo-Confucianism could be the fundamental scheme of his all political ideas and attitude, but in his actual life along the long course of government office more than 50 years he had not been subordinate to it. Rather the Neo-Confucianism was needed for governance of the Chosun Dynasty especially just after a war of Japanese aggression or Manchurians’s. Therefore the point of this study is focused on explaining the relationships between Neo-Confucianism and management of government that had been manipulated by him. The contents of this article should be the context of family study of national administration and relief, his attitude on the Neo-Confucianism and politics, understanding of problematic environments around himself and solutions with the authentic Confucian ways so-called Musil, that is to be authentic to get the truth and the real effect, his cognition of importance of rituals royal and national for sustainability of the Dynasty.

This study aims to address argumentative issues and aspects of Choi, Ho-Won(崔灝元)'s complementary theory(裨補說) in the reign of King Sung-Jong(成宗). After examining Choi, Ho-Won's life and conception, this research analyzes the debates when Choi, Ho-Won insists the conception which refers to Doseon(道詵)‘s complementary theory in sixteenth year of King Sung-Jong. Based on that, following issues can be suggested: There was an assertion that a position that given to Choi, Ho-Won, Byungjochamji(兵曹參知) is not proper, and that he should be punished because of his theoretical notion. At least two things can be drawn out of above discussion. First, King Sung-Jong is the person who is willing to keep Jeong-hak(正學) with the exclusion of other theories. Second, there were certain differences between the Confucian scholars including Choi, Ho-Won and King Sung-Jong in the light of their perception about natural disaster(災變) and, the way of making the ruling method on the public according to that. Additionally, the government official have also negative point of view on Doseon's complementary theory. Docham's(圖讖) idea, a foundation of Doseon’s theory, was likewise denied, due to changing theory on Feng-shui(風水) in early Chosun Dynasty, and a political notion to promote Confucian ideas, which was a major ideological stream in the reign of King Sung-Jong.

기축옥사의 비극적 사건과 기억들

I studied two memories about a tragic accident of Gichuk-trial being made by an illegal trial. There were two memories about one accident! At the trial Yibal was engaged in and his old mother and baby died in the course of the trial. His mother was too old to torture for the confession of crime in law and his son too young. This was the reason to be a hot issue at that time. According to the tragic and illegal character of the accident, the responsibility of the accident became a sensitive problem. As the time flew, two memories conflicted each other. Jung Chul or Ryu Sung-Ryong. The difference of the memory mainly due to the absence of the records of the trials. The Imjin Invasion erased the records of the trial 1589~1592. Second, there was a intentive distortion of the historical material during the Late Sun-jo and the Gwang-Hae Reign. I concluded that Ryu Sung-Ryong was the Wigwan(Head officer of Trial) at the time of the tragic accident. However, including Jung Chul, Yi San-Hea and Sim Su-Kyeong also were the Chugwan(Officer of Trial) at that time. At this point, I examined a institution of the Dynasty, the Chugukcheong(Office of Trial Processes). All accidents happened on base of their historical conditions. That is the reason why we have to pay attention to the theory of party-confict.

일제강점기 현신규의 임학자로의 성장과 그 의미

Science education at college level had been impossible in Korea due to institutional discrimination during Japanese colonial occupation period. Nonetheless, Hyun Shin-Gyu studied at the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu Imperial University in Japan to grow to become the leading forestry researcher of Korea. During his boyhood, he wanted to enter college with interest in literature rather than in science. Such was he, but he became a forestry researcher because he entered Suwon Highschool of Agriculture due to the worsening state of his family’s economic situation. He grew to become interested in forestry because he met good teachers there and entered the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu Imperial University in Japan with difficulty after overcoming institutional difficulties as one from a vocational school. After graduating from Kyushu Imperial University, Hyun Shin-Gyu began working at the forestry experiment station of the Japanese Government-General of Korea, a feat considered difficult to achieve even for Japanese. Life in the early part at the forestry experiment station was satisfying since he was allowed to conduct his own research more or less. But he was forced to conduct research not suited to him after a new Japanese superior was appointed and intercepted the credit for research outcomes, which made him feel powerless as a member of conquered nation. As situations became increasingly worse, he quit his job at the forestry experiment station and came back to his old school in Japan. That decision was based on his suspicion that it would have been the lack of doctoral degree which made him less competent than his Japanese superior and he became the first doctor in forestry. In such ways, though he was not interested in forestry at first, he grew to become a Korean forestry researcher while overcoming the special historic barriers during the Japanese colonial occupation period.

金允植의 外交論에 대한 國際法的 검토

Kim Yun-Sik(1835~1922) is treated as a member of the Progressive group in the study of the modern Korean history. He was most acquainted with diplomatic affairs among other Progressive group members. In 1882, he had led the establishment of the Joseon-America Treaty. Later, he took office as Minister of the Department of Foreign Affairs from December 1884 to June 1887 and from June 1894 to February 1896. Lastly, until he passed away in 1922, he was incessantly interested in the Protection, Annexation, and Independence of his nation. His theory of diplomacy is represented by his “Theory of serving two ends(兩得論)”. The gist of the theory is that “If Joseon(朝鮮) remains as a subject state(屬邦) of the Qing(淸) but is sovereign(自主) with respect to other nations, it can serve two ends since it does not lose sovereign right and does not betray her feudal duty for Qing”. This almost literally agrees with Qing’s Li Hong-zhang’s “Theory of subject state with sovereignty(屬邦自主論)”. However, appearing to say the ‘sovereignty’ of Joseon, Li in fact pursued Joseon’s status as a dependent/semi-sovereign state(屬國・半主之國) in accordance with Elements of International Law(萬國公法). Kim believed that a traditional subject state(屬邦) could retain its sovereignty but a modern dependent state(屬國) couldn’t. However, with the status as a dependent/semi-sovereign state, which Li Hongzhang pursued, Joseon can retain her rights, though limitedly, such as rights of negotiation and treaties and of legation according to Elements of International Law. Thus, a ‘modern dependent state without sovereignty’ did not exist based on the international law. In the same logic, ‘a traditional subject state with guaranteed sovereignty’ was difficult to expect at that time considering the fact that Qing tried to take Joseon as her dependent/semi-sovereign state based on the international law. Accordingly, we can see that it was meaningless to distinguish between a modern dependent state and a traditional subject state.

19세기 神貞王后 趙氏의 생애와 垂簾聽政

神貞王后 趙氏는 豊壤 趙氏 趙萬永의 딸로 순조의 세자였던 孝明世子의 부인이며, 憲宗의 어머니였다. 그녀는 대리청정 중이던 효명세자가 승하하여 왕비가 되지는 못하였다. 그러나 아들 헌종이 왕이 되자 왕대비가 되었고, 철종대 대왕대비였던 純元王后가 죽자 대왕대비가 되었다. 그리고 철종이 후사왕을 정하지 못하고 사망하자 신정왕후는 고종을 즉위하도록 하고 4년간 垂簾聽政을 하였다. 신정왕후의 풍양 조씨는 19세기에 安東 金氏와 함께 정국을 주도하였던 외척가문이었다. 勢道政治는 국왕이 외척에게 다음 왕을 부탁하는 임무를 부여한 것을 의미한다. 이때의 외척 가문은 정국을 주도할 수 있었다. 正祖는 순조를 金祖淳에게 부탁하면서 세도정치를 열었다. 순조도 역시 헌종을 신정왕후의 숙부인 趙寅永에게 부탁하였다. 이로 인해 풍양 조씨는 가세가 번성하였다. 그렇지만 철종대 풍양 조씨와 안동 김씨의 대립이 심화되었으며, 그 가운데 풍양 조씨는 세력이 약화되었다. 수렴청정을 하였던 신정왕후는 고종을 자신과 남편인 효명세자의 아들로 입후하여 즉위하도록 하였다. 그리고 매우 적극적으로 수렴청정을 하기 위해 노력하였다. 이것은 고종을 즉위시킨 그녀의 책임감과 안동 김씨 출신의 哲仁王后가 있었기 때문에 수렴청정을 하기 위해 적극적이었던 것이다. 신정왕후는 수렴청정기에 次對와 召見을 통해 정국을 운영하였다. 신정왕후는 차대에서 주도적으로 하교를 내려 정치에 참여하였다. 소견에서는 지방관이나 사신 이외에도 기존의 관료들과 국정을 운영하였다. 이를 통해 공적으로 정치에 참여하였으며, 주도적으로 정치를 이끌어 갔다. 신정왕후가 강조하였던 정책은 왕실의 권위를 강화하고 사회적 폐단을 개선하기 위한 것이었다. 왕실의 권위를 강화하려는 신정왕후의 의지는 景福宮을 중건하고, 조선의 건국을 강조하였다. 한편 사회적 폐단이었던 과거의 폐단을 개선하고 탐관오리의 비리를 근절하였으며, 엄격한 법 적용을 강조하였다. 이것은 국가의 기강을 확립하려는 것이었다. 신정왕후의 정책의 많은 부분은 효명세자가 대리청정을 할 때 추진하였던 것을 계승한 것이다.

From 8th month, 27th day to 9th month, 2nd day of 1592, after the outbreak of the Imjin War and the flight of Joseon government to Uiju, the righteous army(義兵) of the Hwanghae Province defeated the Japanese army led by Kuroda Nagamasa(黑田長政), who attacked the Fortress of Younan(延安城) The battle bore some distinctive features in several respects. Firstly, it was a battle held in Hwanghae Province where the Joseon and Japanese army did not confront. Scecondly, along with the victory of the righteous army of the Junmun Prefecture, it was a rare case where the righteous army north of Gyeonggi Province gained successful victory. Lastly, Yi Jungam, who was heading for the king’s temporary quarters as official, led the righteous army. His battle of the Fortress of Younan and the remarkable activities of the righteous army(義兵) of the Hwanghae Province played a key role in checking the domination of local area and information delivery by Japanese army. This article sheds light on the changes brought to Yi Jungam in the course of his experience of flight and the battle of Fortress of Youan. Yi Jungam was a figure who held state position for many years before the war. After the outbreak of war, he was presented to the army as a leader and took command of the battle of Fortress of Youan during the flight. His success in defending the fortress he was highly trusted by people within and without the government. Even after the battle, he played an important role in the political situation and posed his opinion on the peace negotiation which was an important issue during the war. Like others, he also feared the war and was concerned about his own future. During the war, he agonized over the conflicting responsibilities as an official and yangban and as an head of his family. Yet he overcame the difficulties during the flight and tried to meet the expectation of both his family and Joseon government. After that he had to undertake several difficult mission and he tried his best and fulfilled his duties. Moreover, he made remarks about the peace negotiation that others did not dare to say. Without worrying about approaching dangers, he showed great courage for the public interests. Judging from his remarks and activities onto the problems he suffered during the war, it seems that he realized the nature of war by witnessing and experiencing war for himself.

1940~60년대 시대의 ‘불안’과 조지훈의 대응

류시현 (사)한국인물사연구회 2012 한국인물사연구 Vol.17 No.-

During the first half of 20th century, Korean had experienced the anxiety of ages such as the colonial period against the Japanese imperialism(1910~ 1945), the division of Korea(1948) and the Korean War (1950~1953), and the activities for democracy during 1960s. At that time, because of the unclear forecast for the Korean Nation's future, the Korean intellectuals' anxiety on ages were more sensitive than the ordinary people. Even though they were conscious of the crises of their lives, they also made the alternative proposals to Korean people for overcoming the anxieties of ages. Among the these intellectuals, I will focus on the Cho Ji-Hun's life (1920~1969) and his writings on the anxiety of ages. Cho’s career as a poet, professor for Korean literature, cultural is very suggestive for our study of the Korean Studies and the intellectual history in modern Korean history. Like other Korean people, he also experienced the enforcement of collaboration on the Pacific War, the panic of the division of Korea and the Korean War, and the injustice of dictatorship. In these situations, in general, people were addicted to both pessimism and sardonic. However, Cho overcame these anxieties based on the standard of political fidelity. This paper examines his three books which were published since 1960s. The themes of these books are Korean culture, Korean modern history against Japan Imperialism, and his thoughts on the political issues. Following his activities and writings, he faced a difficult situation with rosy perspective of Korean Nation. He also suggested the guide lines for Korean Studies and the solutions of Koreans's re-unification as a single Nation. For the purpose of these activities, he established some criteria which effectively with the anxiety of ages. First, his evaluation of persons are based on the fidelity. Second, his re-writing on Korean national history for the democracy. Third, his emphasis on the Korean identities were helpful for the Korean re-unification. But we do not clearly distinguish his works on Korean culture's excellency from the dictatorship's activities on Korean culture's studying. These answer will find in examination on the Korean Studies in 1960s.
