심원당(心遠堂) 이육(李堉)의 생애와 예학사상(禮學思想) = The Biography of Yuk Yi(李堉) with the Pseudonym of Simwondang(心遠堂) and the Thought of Ritual Manners

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본고는 16세기 후반에서 17세기 전반에 걸쳐 경상도 星州 지역에서 활동한 心遠堂 李堉(1572∼1637)의 생애와 禮學思想에 대해 살펴본 것이다. 이육은 성주를 대표하는 학자인 金宇옹과 鄭逑의 문하에 출입하여 두 스승의 학통을 충실히 계승하고, 스승을 통하여 李滉과 曺植의 학문과 기상을 섭렵하였다. 김우옹 문하에서는 五賢에 꼽힐 정도로 두각을 드러내었고, 정구 문하에서는 30년 동안 수학하며 禮學과 心學을 깊이 공부하였다. 그리고 그는 김우옹과 정구를 통해 전수받은 학문을 제자들에게 전수하여 성주 지역 학맥의 전승 과정에 가교 역할을 하였다. 이육은 정구의 예학 성과를 계승하여 조선조 예학의 전개 과정에 일정한 기여를 하였다. 정구가 다양한 예설을 제안하고 많은 예서를 편찬하여 17세기 영남지역 예학의 종장으로 추앙받았으므로 그의 문인들은 스승에게 질의 하거나 서신을 보내 의문점을 해결하고 예학적 소양을 축적하여 갔다. 이육이 제기한 喪禮와 祭禮 問目은 예학 논의가 전국적으로 활발해지던 시점에 나온 것으로, 變禮에 대한 관심은 물론 그에 대한 절충안을 마련하고자 했던 당시의 예학사적 흐름을 파악할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

This study has examined the biography of Yuk Yi(李堉, 1572~1637) with the pseudonym of Simwondang(心遠堂) and his thoughts of ritual manners. He was active in the area of Seongju(星州) from the late 16th century through the early 17th century. Yuk Yi was taught by two excellent masters in the area of Seongju: one was Uong Kim(金宇옹), and the other was Gu Jeong(鄭逑). He inherited the academic trends of the two masters, and acquired the learning spirit of Hwang Yi(李滉) and Sik Jo(曺植). He was so outstanding when taught by Uong Kim that he was among the top five of Kim``s disciples. When led by Gu Jeong for 30 years, he was committed to studying ritual manners and practical ethics. Then he taught his students what he inherited from his two masters. He formed the bridge between his masters and his students when he inherited the academic course in the area of Seongju. Yuk Yi inherited Gu Jeong``s results for studying ritual manners and contributed considerably to developing ritual manners in the Joseon Dynasty. Gu Jeong presented so many various theories of ritual manners and compiled so many books of ritual manners that he was admired as a master of ritual manners in the area of Yeongnam(嶺南) in the 17th century. As a result, his students asked questions of their master, or sent letters to him to solve problems, thus accumulating knowledge of ritual manners. Yuk Yi also suggested diverse manners related to village rituals, funerals, and memorial services and posed inquiry items or titles. It was the time when there were lively discussions about ritual manners across the nation. His suggestions of these diverse manners are meaningful as they make it possible to understand the academic tendencies of the time and to take interest in manners of incidental events and to prepare compromise plans.
