EnglishKoreas Confucius Toegye Yi HwangHave you heard about Chinas Confucius?



The reason why he is so famous is because there are people who still identify withhis thoughts, ideas, and spiritual enlightenment.Korea also has its own Confucius, who was a famous scholar.That is who I am going to be talking about today Toegye Yi Hwang.Im going to show you why he is considered Koreas Confucius by talking about hischaracter and the way he lived his life. Well also learn the morals from his ideas andteachings.Please keep in mind that there may be some difficult words derived from Chinesecharacters as well as his theories.First, historically, what all famous scholars have in common is that they were nobleand wise men. Here, theres a quote that shows Toegyes true character. Whatsclear and easy to understand is the teachers studies. Whats just and fair is theteachers way. Whats soft like the spring wind and like an auspicious cloud is theteachers virtue. Whats relevant and candid are the teachers writings.The importance and depth of his writings were like mountain peaks and ponds,however, when you read his teachings, youll know that he is a man of virtue.This quote shows how Toegye was a deep character.Second, Toegyes way of life was simple and modest.He preferred simplicity over splendor, and modesty over putting on airs. He wantedto live amongst nature rather than to be rich and powerful. He wanted a life full ofvirtue and enlightenment rather than exercising power in the real world.This is a poem that shows how Toegye refused wealth and power.In my small and cozy hutThere are only books that line my walls.The people of the past are all goneHowever, their words still remain.This poem shows how he avoided a life of wealth and power and how he wanted tolead a life with nature.Third, I will try to briefly explain the main point of his teachings, Yigiron andShimseongjeong.The Chinese characters Yi and Gi in Yigiron meant the origins of the existence ofhumans and objects.This especially applied to the humans shimseongjeong, nature or disposition.The character for shim means a persons heart, the character, seong means apersons disposition, and the character for jeong means a persons feelings.



In other words, shimseongjeong mainly means a persons disposition and feelings.This explains the existence of a persons heart and how disposition is the essence ofthe heart and feelings are recognized as what drives the heart.Thanks to the listeners, I realize that I learned a lot about Yigiron andShimsengjeong as Im writing this.Finally, Ill touch on Toegye Yi Hwangs education theory.Toegyes objective with education theory wasnt knowledge.The most important aspect of this theory was putting things to practice. This kind ofeducation, which included real-life experiences, was what he called real education.He mentioned that not applying what you learn to real life was academicallydangerous.Nowadays, the children and adults may have the intellect, but their actions and theway they live their lives do not compare to those people of the pastToegye was already cautioning and alerting many scholars and people about thissocietal issue hundreds of years ago.If you get deep into Toegyes character, way of life, thoughts, and educationaltheories, you can see that was far from ordinary.I personally agree with his teachings and enlightenment.I promise to also be modest and focus on really educating everyone atKoreanClass101.com.Finally, Ill end this post with Toegyes peaceful poem.An old apricot tree is full of fragranceA round moon shines brightly behind a tree.It waits for the sky to clear from the clouds.The clean air remains all night in the high mountain.Thank you for listening.
