조선시대 『심경(心經)』 연구의 흐름과 분기(分岐)

Abstract

This paper examines the role of the times by distinguishing the process of accepting and studying Xinjing and the Simgyeongbuju from the early to the middle of the Joseon Dynasty and the differentiated aspects into the occasion of Jewanghak of the early Joseon Dynasty and the occasion of Xinxue of the mid-Joseon Dynasty. When it was first accepted in the early Joseon Dynasty, Xinjing was mainly discussed in contests as one of the process of studying the scriptures for the king's cultivation. On the other hand, in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, as Simgyeongbuju was introduced and popular, it was mainly understood as a scripture that explores general principles for cultivating the mind. Xinjing from China was brought into Joseon and began to be read, it was used as a textbook for contests in the early days, and was used as a textbook for ‘Jewanghak’ for the training of emperors, having a close relationship with political thought of Joseon. However, with the passage of time, Simgyeongbuju was introduced, and Xinjing functioned as a realistic and in-depth textbook of Xinxue for Confucian intellectuals to cultivate their minds, and as a writing that suggested lessons. Furthermore, as Simgyeongbuju was studied by the school of Toegye and the school of Giho, various theoretical disagreements arose. In short, in the early Joseon period when Xinjing had a strong meaning as a royal training book for ruling as a book of kingship and governing, while theoretical discussion for mind cultivation was weak, in the middle of Joseon Dynasty, it was a period of respectable literature, morality, and morality. It can be said that it is characteristic that it suggests a general method of cultivating the mind through theoretical differentiation such as the urban theory and the theory of selfishness.
