다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Institute of Korean Cultural Studies, Yeungnam University) In the history of Chinese thought, the ideology of rule by virtue is retroactive to the ‘classical era(上古)’. Virtue(德) was useful in strengthening the legitimacy of the royal regime from the morality of the politician, and various concepts that mean virtual in existing ancient literature are inherently closely linked to political demand. This paper argues that, the Hundred Schools during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, when they in the process of presenting several political blueprints based on the ideology of virtue in the classical era(上古)~middle of the Xizhou (西周) period, caused various divisions, developments, and expansion in the meaning of concepts related to individual morality. In particular, as almost all the concept of loyalty(忠) and trust(信) was deeply dealt with by the refinement of the politician, it is delicately penetrated into each thinker's point of view in this huge flow rather than other concepts.
