Abstract
Chae Hong-cheol made his efforts to carrying forward the land and census project, whose efforts were praised in his epitaph but were devaluated in the Koryosa. Yi Saek, who wanted to maintain the dynasty, affirmed Chae’s project, whereas Jeong Do-jeon, who attempted to open a new dynasty, tried to create a new legal system through denying the project. In other words, the differences of viewpoint over reality reform in the later Koryo dynasty were expressed in the divergent evaluation of Chae Hong-cheol.BR There is a kind of ambiguity related to the reference of quotation expressions in Jeong Do-jeon’s Kyongjemungams . It is important to note that there are not a dew references to Shih-kung chih-hsueh(사공학) in the Kyongjemungams . It is recognized that Shih-kung chih-hsueh criticized Neoconfucianism which was the mainstream political theory during the founding of the Joseon Dynasty. However, Shih-kung chih-hsueh, which put emphasis on the system and legislation was more required than Neo-confucianism which emphasizes the discipline of the mind the during change of dynasty. Thus Jeong Do-jeon had to bring Neo-confucianism to the fore, but inwardly invoke Shih-kung chih-hsueh that emphasized the system and legislation. This is why a kind of ambiguity related to the reference of quotation expressions is found in Jeong Do-jeon’s Kyongjemungams .
