조선~근대 제주 유학 지식인의 형성과 발전에 관한 시론

Abstract

This study examines the patterns of the relationships of confucius scholars of Jeju with those from the mainland during the Chosun period. Ancient literature indicates us that Jeju was the region with very strong shamanism during the Chosun period. This is confirmed in various literature concerning Jeju. However, there are not enough record to cover intellectuals of Jeju. During late Chosun, there appeared numerous confucius intellectuals in Jeju. These figures were formed by the influence of Confucianism in those days. To identify how Confucianism of Chosun was expanded into the border area is the key to understand the Confucianism not only of Jeju but also of Chosun.
 For this aim, this study examines the background in which the culture of Jeju and confucius intellectuals during the Chosun dynasty era were formed as well as the patters of transformation of the culture of Jeju based upon from shamanism to Confucianism. While confucius ideas spreading, several confucius intellectuals emerged in Jeju as well. Some of them had a network with confucius school in the mainland but some of them did not.
 it is identified that the schools of Toegyu, Nosa, Hwasea and Kanjae had an exchange with other schools in the mainland. For Nosa school, there are figures such as Ahn Dalsam, Lee Gyejeong, Ahn Byungtak, Kim Sukik. For Hwasea school, there is Kim Heejung who studied Myunam Cho Ikhyun, For Kanjae school, there are Kum Gyungjong, Koh Kyungsu, and Koh Byungoh. During Japanese colonial era, they took the lead in the anti- Japanese movement, and during the Jeju 4.3 incident, they expressed their opinions by acting as central figures of Jeju. It is particularly meaningful that a person connected to the mainland school appears in Jeju. This is because their existence allows us to study how Confucianism took root and expanded in the periphery Jeju where shamanism was strong.
 Currently, personal collections of writings by Confucius scholars are not systematically organized in Jeju. In addition to the people introduced in this paper, it is highly likely that there is a collection of writings for other confucius scholars in Jeju. It is necessary to organize and arrange such materials step by step for a systematic study.
