For The Study Of "Shangshu" In The Lee Dynasty Of Korea

"ShangShu" is very old literature in the world. And it is also the unique cultural classics of Chinese nation. From Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, a lot of people made the note for it. Of course, in addition to China, many east Asian countries also have a deep research on it. For example, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and so on. Especially in the lee dynasty of Korea, the commenting of "ShangShu" became a kind of fashion for five hundred years. The famous scholars had some works about "ShangShu". For example, LiHuang, LiYi, Jin Changsheng, Piao Shitang, Hong Darong, Ding Ruoyong, etc. According to "The ShangShu of Korean Classics Data Integration" of Sungkyunkwan University in 1994, the works about "ShangShu" were up to 110 in the Lee Dynasty of Korea which close to "the ShangShu bibliography in classics of Authorized Books" (Si Ku and Cun Mu are 136).The official philosophy was Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Lee Dynasty of Korea. It was occupying the educational world mainstream prominent position for five hundred years. Under such background, many scholars expressed their point of views of Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism by commenting on "ShangShu". Then, the study of "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty of Korea began with QuanJin’"ShuQianJianLu". The scholars discussed Li, Qi, Heart and Nature which were influenced by Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism. For example, "ShuQianJianLu" of QuanJin put a high value on Li, "ZaZhu, ShangShu" of Ren Shengzhou focused on Qi, "ShuJing, QianShuo" of ZhaoYi paid attention to Heart, "PingWoJiangYi, ShangShu" of Li Hengxiang mainly talked about Nature. They, such as YinJuan,Han Yuanzhen,Li Shujiu and so on, fused the ideology of Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism and the "ShangShu" text together. The annotation of "ShuJiZhuan" by Cai Shen which received ZhuXi’s guidance was most important version about "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty of Korea. The scholars had some opinions, such as compliance, contradiction, appreciation and comment Cai Shen in Zhu Xi’s perspective. All in all, the discussion around "ShuJiZhaun" had not ceased from "ShuZhuanZhaLu" of LinYong to "ShuJiZhuanXiangShuo" of Piao Wenhao. However, Some People also doubted and tampered classics. There were some phenomenon of doubting classical canon and tampering character. They made the "ShangShu" chaotic which rejected to Confucianism and judged text. The "SiBianLu, ShangShu" of Piao Shitang was one of the most outstanding representatives. In the end, Piao Shitang was exiled and killed. This was very regrettable thing.At the same time, the study of "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty of Korea formed the two forms under the background of neo-confucianism. That was the independent form and practical form. The independent form referred to the study which had their own characteristics and achieved a certain scale and achievement. For example, they paid attention to the explanations through "the four books" to analyze "ShangShu". A combination of "the four books" and "ShangShu" form a unique scenery. And South Korea was known as a country of true gentlemen since ancient times, so its etiquette culture is very developed. Especially in the Lee Dynasty of Korea, many things, such as family ritual, conventions, the ritual theory, litigation and etiquette, collectively appeared. Scholars explain "ShangShu" with courtesy which was very normal thing. For example, "JingShuBianYi,ShuZhaun" of Jin Changsheng put the "ShangShu" and ceremony together. So Jin Changsheng’ students, such as JinJi, SongShilie, SongJunji, LiWeitai, YuQi and YinXuan, formed propriety school and usher in the age of ritual study in the Lee Dynasty. However, "ZhouYi" is the most important book in Korea. We can see that their flag is tai chi flag. The King Sejong created the Korean by yin-yang, five elements, image-numerology and three powers principles of "ZhouYi". Of course, the king also took advantage of the "ZhouYi" to govern the country. So scholars explain "ShangShu" with "ZhouYi" which was very popular thing. In addition, There were many works of pictures and words about "ShangShu". For example, "TianMingTuShuo" of ZhengZhiyun, "ShengXueShiTu" of LiHuang, "XinXingQingTu" of LiEr, and so on. According to this method to explain the history which become the inevitable of The Times. Such as "RenXinDaoXinTu" of YinJuan for "DaYuMo", Bai Fenglai’ pictures and words for "YiJi", and so on. Of course, the Lee Dynasty’ scholars pay great attention to "HongFan". "The South Korean Classics Data Integration" have more than 110 kinds of works about "ShangShu" which are 18 species associated with "HongFan". It accounted for nearly one 5 of the workers. The reason is that this article’ author is JiZi. He had been to the Korean peninsula and spread etiquette culture for Korean. So JiZi made historic contribution for the Korean peninsula’ civilization. Therefore, we can easily understand why they like to the "HongFan". They spread JiZi’ doctrine and Neo-Confucianism through "HongFan". This is also one of the features of the study of "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty of Korea.The practical form which is affected by the exegetics of Qing Dy nasty made claims that challenge the neo-confucianism. The scholars adv ocated to study to the original Confucianism. Noting "ShangShu" not o nly obeyed the sages but also comply with ancient annotations. Such a s "ShangShuGuZhu" and "GuShangShu" of ShenChuo. At the same tim e, the wind of practical learning inevitably lead to statecraft theories. S o the study of "ShangShu" attached great importance to practical effect and governing strategy. Especially explaining "ShangShu" for the king became one of the features in the Lee Dynasty of Korea. At this point, the concept of scholars mostly from "against the Qing Dynasty and sup porting the Ming Dynasty "to "learn from the Qing dynasty". They refi ned the thought of "LiYongHouSheng" from "DaYuMo" of "ShangShu". So the notes about "ShangShu" began to pay attention to the develop ment of agriculture, industry and business. Of course, the most importa nt thing about the research of "ShangShu" was the rising of literary cr iticism in the late of the Lee Dynasty. They noted "ShangShu" from ex pressing philosophical thoughts to the exegesis, textual research, collatin g, differentiation and compiling, etc. Such as "JingYi,ShuLei" of Cheng Haiying, "MeiShiShangShuPing" of Ding Ruoyong and "ShangShuJinG uWenBian" of Jin Zhengxi. So the research of "ShangShu" which had the sage-king’meaning and textual research reached the apex of the stu dy of "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty of Korea.The study of "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty of Korea, in short, came from the neo-confucianism. There were independent form and practical form which jointly built the achievement of the study of "ShangShu" in the Lee Dynasty. The root of it was in China. Therefore, this is the perfect embodiment of Chinese power. The classic, represented by "ShangShu" is the standard of law all over the world. The East Asian culture on the basis of Chinese Confucian classics is not only beneficial to the culture communication of China, Japan and South Korea but also contribute to east Asian stability and peace in the world.
