Dohak Ideology of Hanhwondang Kim Gweng-pil and Later Assessments

This paper examines ‘Dohak Ideology of Hanhwondang Kim Gweng-pil and Later Assessments’ through his life and chenri(踐履). Hanhwondang is the figure who inherited the tradition of Korean dohak ideology and passed it onto Jeongam Jo Kwang-jo. Hanhwondang had a strong sense of justice from early years; his magnanimous character led him to play in large groups. He was also fiercely competitive. Then, he turned to academic studies at 21 when he became a student of Kim Jong-jik and was though the importance of <Sohak>; he immersed himself in the study of Sohak and called himself a ‘Sohak boy.’ His teacher, Kim Jong-jik, covered both classical Confucian texts as well as literary techniques; Hanhwondang, on the other hand, focuses on classical studies to complete a system of dohak ideology. He thus became the father of Korean dohak and was the first scholar in early Chosun to be enshrined in the Confucius shrine. Hanhwondang’s dohak emphasizes Sohak, rejects heresy, pursues deliberative studies through classical texts, mind training based on sung and kyung (誠敬), practices Confucian values such as su-gi and chi-in, adheres to strict ethical codes of Sohak and teaches hahak and loyalty.
