英文摘要 |
This paper will examine two controversies created by envoys from the Ming dynasty and from Joseon Korea by comparing the development of Yang-ming learning in each country. It will also illustrate the interactions concerning Yang-ming learning through envoys. The first controversy focused on Wang Yangming himself as he became an adjunct object of worship at the Confucian Temple. This occurred in 1547 when the Joseon envoy, Heo Bong (1551-1588), crossed swords with Chinese literati and scholar-officials over Wang's part through written communication. The second controversy arose in 1592 when the Ming Dynasty sent a military staff officer, Yuan Huang (1533-1606), to advise Korea on her war against Japan. Yuan provoked a conflict with the Joseon Confucians by slandering Zhu Xi and defending Wang Yangming. This paper will examine the different arguments by intellectuals from both countries on Yang-ming learning. Moreover, the profound meaning of Yang-ming learning in East Asia will also be explored. |
