정재 류치명의 문인록과 문인집단의 분석 = The Analysis of Records and Circles of Jeongjae Ryu Chi-Myeong’s Literary Figures

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Ryu Chi-myeong was one of the greatest scholars to represent the Namin group of Yeongnam in the 19th century, inheriting the academic line of Toigye. He established his academic position through writing and a pursuit of study. His status within Yeongnam was further solidified by his consistent service in government offices and political activities. In the process, a circle of literary figures formed to follow him.
Research on the circle of literary figures is an important task to figure out the formation process and development patterns of a school. An analysis of the records of literary figures, which sorts out literary figures under a scholar according to certain criteria and forms, offers a starting point for the study of circles of literary figures. There are five types of records of literary figures under Ryu. In the enlargement process, the writers’ intentions were reflected in the revision of records of his literary figures such as the expansion of the school’s geographical scope and the conquest of limitations as additional study. Thus, it was necessary to investigate Geupmunjejarok(及門諸子錄), which is the earliest record of his literary figures, to understand the actual patterns and characteristics of the Jeongjae School.
The circle of his literary figures, who amounted to 423, expanded through close connections of marriage and school ties based on blood ties (Ryu clan of Jeonju). Most of the literary figures were distributed within the southeastern parts of Andong, which reflected the division patterns of Andong by school ties and geography after Byeonghosibi(屛虎是非) in the 19th century. His literary figures showed an even distribution throughout the Yeongnam region, except for Sangju even though the number was small, which confirms that his status and influence spread across the entire Yeongnam region in the 19th century. After Ryu’s death, the circle of his literary figures became a powerful group that represented the Confucian scholars of Yeongnam in the 19th century and played a pivotal role in leading the movement of the army raised in the cause of justice and the people’s independence movement.
The analysis results of the records of Ryu’s literary figures demonstrate a series of processes of arranging records of literary figures in the 20th century and the changing composition and nature of the circles of literary figures according to the writers’ intentions. Furthermore, the analysis of Geupmunjejarok(及門諸子錄) offered a chance to figure out the organization and characteristics of the Jeongjae School in the 19th century and the academic influence of Ryu and his pupils. The records of literary figures provide basic data to understand the school. In the study of schools based on records of literary figures, the first job should be to ensure the reliability of the records of literary figures as material through a comparative study on different enlarged records of literary figures. This process will help investigate the actual aspects and characteristics of the concerned schools in their formation and development.
