초록

본고는 愚川 鄭侙의 생애와 현실인식에 대해 살펴보는데 있다. 정칙은 조선후기 안동지역 처사문인으로 아직까지 연구가 미미한 인물이다. 고려조부터 이어온 명문가에서 출생하였으며 중앙 진출 이력이 있었던 아버지 鄭士信과 외삼촌 李民宬에게 가르침을 받았다. 10여 년간 과거 공부에 몰두하여 1627년에 성균관에 들어갔으며 1638년에 章陵參奉에 제수되었으나 사양하고 고향으로 내려왔다. 그는 처사의 삶을 살면서 풍산김씨, 의성김씨, 풍산류씨 등 안동 인근의 명문자제들과 교유하였으며, 고을 내에서 학식과 인품을 인정받았다.
정칙은 외삼촌에게 받은 영향으로 논리적이고 합리적인 현실비판 인식과 국내외 정세에 대한 밝은 안목을 지니고 있었다. 그가 병자호란 직전에 지은 「論時事罪言」 한 편을 보면 붕당정치의 폐해와 정묘호란을 겪고 나서도 국방에 대해 아무런 대비책을 세우고 있지 않은 현실을 논리적으로 비판하고 있다. 또 연이은 전쟁 후 해이해진 예학을 바로잡기 위해 힘쓰는 사회 분위기 속에서 허례허식에 얽매이지 않는 현실적이고 실천적인 예학을 강조하였으며 지나치게 풍수지리설을 신봉하는 사회를 비판하였다. 이 외에도 드러나지 않은 안동의 선현들을 현창시키는데 힘썼으니 당시 안동부의 지도자 격인 金應祖와 함께 여러 유생들의 뜻을 모아 일을 추진하였다.
정칙은 문학적으로 한시 작법에도 능해 교유시, 산수시, 애민시 등을 많이 남겼으며, 고문에 대한 남다른 관심도 보이는데, 아직 연구가 부족하여 본고에서는 다루지 않기로 한다.

영어초록

This article examines the life of Woocheon JEONG Chik and the perception of reality. JEONG Chik was a retired scholar and a writer from the Andong region during the late Joseon period, and is relatively un-researched. He was born into a noble family which had been in existence since the Goryeo dynasty. He was taught by his father, Maechang JEONG Sa-shin, who had experience in politics, and his uncle, Gyeongeong LEE Min-sung. He immersed himself in studying for the civil service examination for 10 years, entered Sungkyunkwan in 1627, and was appointed as Jangreung Chambong. However, he declined the position and came back to his hometown. He lived a life of a retired scholar and associated with children of noble families from Andong and the surrounding vicinity, such as Pungsan Kim, Uiseong Kim, Pungsan Ryu, etc., and his scholarship and noble personality were acknowledged throughout the town.
JEONG Chik had a logical and rational perception in criticizing reality and a keen discernment in domestic and foreign affairs which he acquired from his uncle. In “Non-si-sa-joe-eon” which he wrote right before the Manchu war, he logically criticized the reality which didn't allow any provisions for national defence after experiencing the indictment of clique politics and the Chinese invasion of Joseon. Also, he emphasized realistic and practical yehak which was not constrained to empty formalities and vanity in the social climate. This social climate tried to rectify the slackening values of yehak due to continuous wars. He also criticized the society that believed in the theory of geomancy. Besides, he strived to promote the ancient sages of Andong who were not exposed; therefore, he focused on his project with Kim, Eung-jo, who was a social leader of Andong-bu, and many students of Confucianism.
JEONG Chik was also literarily proficient in composing Chinese poetry and left as his legacy the Gyo-yu poem, San-soo poem, Ae-min poem, etc. He also demonstrated outstanding interests in ancient writings, but this article does not deal with them here.
