Abstract
Yong-ahm Park Woon (1493~1562) was a Neo-Confucian scholar from Seon-san, Gyeong-sang province living in the mid-age of Joseon dynasty. He passed a national exam of recruiting loyal servants but decided not to become a loyal servant, and then he had devoted himself for discipline for about 40 years. In 1646, he was enshrined in Nak-bong Confucian school located in Seon-san and positioned as a Neo-Confucian scholar representing Seon-san. Even if he did not gain a nationwide reputation, he had a large academic influence in the northern area of Gyeong-sang province. Since 50, he had written Neo-Confucianism related books especially for study of mind such as 『GyeokMongPyeon (擊蒙編)』 and 『JaYangSimHakJiRon (紫陽心學至論)』, which firstly played the role of a guide book and an introduction book for beginners. However, 『GyeokMongPyeon』 was for beginning of study while 『JaYangSimHak- JiRon』 for achievement of study. Therefore, these two books are combined; one for the former part and the other for the latter part, which means that they were written by design. Such two books of his are important data f or Neo-C onfucian h istory o f Joseon dynasty. They are highly positioned in the aspect that they suggest the way of studying for those who want to study Neo-Confucianism. His contribution to the history of Neo-Confucianism cannot be ignored.
