Description

Seongni daejeon seo jeoryo (Essentials of the Great Collection of Neo-Confucianism) was compiled by Kim Jeong-guk (1485-1541) in 1538 (33rd year of the reign of King Jungjong of the Joseon Dynasty). He summarized the necessary parts from Seongni daejeon (Great Collection of Neo-Confucianism) and edited them into four volumes. Known as Xingli daquan in Chinese, Seongni daejeon was published by 42 scholars including Hu Guang of the Ming Dynasty, containing the diverse theories of neo-Confucianism of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. This book was introduced to Joseon during the early days of King Sejong’s reign. When Kim Jeong-guk was appointed as governor of Jeolla-do Province in 1538, he discussed with inspector Kim Hoe-baek regarding the publication of Seongni daejeon seo jeoryo. For the publication, wooden types from Naju were used, with the needed or missing characters newly carved to complete the types. This book is valued highly for newly recomposing Seongni daejeon, a must-read book for scholars of the Joseon Dynasty fit for the local situation.
