초록

본 연구는 17세기에 출현한 가훈의 성격 규명을 위해 강덕후의 『우곡선생훈자격언』을 분석하였다.
강덕후는 조선 초기 익대⋅좌리공신으로 녹훈된 강희맹의 후손이다. 그는 우계 성혼의 아들 성문준의 문하에서 수학하였고 외가를 통해 율곡 이이의 학문적 영향을 받았다. 평생 과거 급제를 위해 노력하였으나 성취하지 못하였고, 말년에 유배 중이던 아들 강석규에게 『우곡선생훈자격언』을 집필하여 주었다. 그가 이 책을 저술한 이유는 가족들이 잇달아 사망하는 등 불행이 겹치는 가운데 아들 강석규가 학문을 성취하여 집안을 재건하기를 희망하였기 때문이다.
『우곡선생훈자격언』의 서문에서 밝힌 바와 같이 강덕후는 율곡 이이가 당대의 학문적 성과를 집대성하여 편찬한 『성학집요』의 체제와 내용을 본받았다. 이에 따라 두 책을 서로 비교해보면 ‘修己’에 관해서는 『성학집요』의 내용을 거의 그대로 수용하였으나, ‘正家’에 관해서는 사족의 일상생활에 필요한 중심으로 재구성하였음을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 이 책은 17세기에 성리서 성격의 가훈이 출현하였음을 보여준다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

영어초록

This paper analyzed Teacher Wugok’s Reformation Maxim by Gang, Deokhu to clarify the character of family mottos of the 17th century.
Gang, Deokhu is a descendant of Gang, Heuimaeng who was recorded as Ikdae and Jwargongsin in the early Joseon Dynasty. He studied under Seong, Munjun, Wugye Song, Hon’s son, and was influenced by Yukgok Yi I’s study through his mother’s side. He tried to pass the state examination, but he could not achieve it. And he wrote and gave Teacher Wugok’s Reformation Maxim to Gang, Seokgyu, his son who was exiled during his latter years. He wrote this book because he wanted his son to rebuild his family through his academic achievement while he had a series of misfortunes including his families’ continuous death. Since then, the book has been handed down until now as it was compiled and published by his descendants.
Teacher Wugok’s Reformation Maxim was directly influenced by the system and contents of Outline of the Learning of the Sages complied by Yukgok Yi I by making a synthesis of academic achievements of the time. For ‘Self-cultivation (修己)’, the content which is almost the same was accepted as it was. However, the content of ‘Right Families (正家)’ was reorganized by focusing on the contents required for everyday life of classical scholars’ families. Therefore, the book can be defined as the family mottos of the character of human nature and principle books and is understood as being different from the family mottos of the character of festive ceremony books discussed as the characteristics of family mottos of the 17th century in the precedent studies.
