초록

淵民 李家源(1917-2000)은 근세 우리 나라를 대표하는 한학자, 국문학자, 서예가이다. 그는 대학자일 뿐만 아니라 한문문장과 漢詩를 마음대로 지을 수 있는 한문학 작가였다.
淵民은 駿逸한 자질과 剛毅한 집념으로 6세 때부터 학문에 정진하였다. 가정적으로는 父老들의 정성어린 교육을 받아 家學을 계승하였고, 외가쪽으로는 畏齋 丁泰鎭, 西洲 金思鎭 같은 通儒를 만나 학문의 깊이와 폭을 넓힐 수 있었고, 처가 쪽으로 匯溪 柳建宇으로부터 文學的 修鍊을 받았다.
23세 때 鄕吏에서의 硏學을 종결짓고, 서울로 올라와 5년 동안 당대 우리나라 漢文學界의 最高峰인 山康 卞榮晩, 爲堂 鄭寅普을 從遊하며 새로운 안목을 키웠다. 그리고 中國文學을 전공하고 우리나라 최초로 漢文學史를 저작한 聖岩 金台俊을 따라 漢文學史 집필의 의지를 세우고 민족의식을 고취받았다.
서울에서 공부하는 동안 晋州의 碩儒 晦峯 河謙鎭을 알게 되었는데, 서신왕복을 통해서 문학의 바른 길을 인도받게 되었다.
서울 明倫專門學校에 재직하면서 四庫全書 등 많은 中國 書籍을 접하게 되어 학문의 깊이와 폭을 더하게 되었다. 이를 계기로 나중에 우리 나라 최초의 中國文學史인『中國文學思潮史』를 집필하게 되었다.
淵民은 대학에서 제자들을 양성하면서, 100여 권의 저서와 2500편의 한시와 2000여 편의 漢文文章을 저작해 낸 대학자요, 대문장가, 대시인이다. 그리고 韓國漢文學會, 漢文敎育學會 등 여러 학회나, 退溪學硏究院 등 여러 학술단체를 맡아 운영하면서 후학들을 인도하고 학문할 수 있는 풍토를 조성하였다. 동시에 儒道會總本部 委員長, 陶山書院, 竹樹書院, 深谷書院 등의 원장을 맡아 傳統儒林의 지도자로서의 역할도 수행하였다. 일본의 우리 문화 말살과 해방후의 서양문물의 범람으로 우리 民族의 學問이 인멸되어 가는 시기에 태어나 우리 학문을 정립하고 발전시켜 나가는 데 많은 공헌을 했다.
淵民의 漢文學은,『韓國漢文學史』,『朝鮮文學史』 집필 등 漢文學을 전반적으로 조감하는 巨視的인 학문과 蛟山, 燕巖 등 참신한 改革派의 학문에 관심이 많았고, 家學으로서 退溪學도 평생 연구하였다.
그의 문장에 대해서는 우리나라의 최고 경지에 이른 山康 卞榮晩, 爲堂 鄭寅普, 晦峯 河謙鎭, 碧史 李佑成, 芝薰 趙東卓 같은 분들이 극찬을 했고, 그의 漢詩文集인『淵淵夜思齋文藁』를 읽고, 孔子의 宗孫이며 대만대학 교수인 孔德成, 대만대학 高明 등 여러 대가들이 극찬을 아끼지 않았다.
