The Confucian Philosophy and Cultural Contents Research Institute selected the project
"Study on Establishing a Comprehensive Plan for the Development of
Traditional Culture in Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon."
Confucian philosophy and cultural contents were selected by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for the "Study on Establishing a Comprehensive Plan for Traditional Cultural Development of Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon" project (Research Director: Professor Ahn Seung-woo), and the total project cost is 190 million won.
This research project, which will run from April 2024 to December 2024, aims to establish a comprehensive plan for the systematic succession and development of traditional cultures of Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon in accordance with the Act on the Succession, Development, and Support of Traditional Culture of Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon (abbreviated as the Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon Act, enacted on July 25, 2023, and implemented on January 26, 2024).
The Sungkyunkwan Judo Association (Chairman: Choi Young-gap) will participate in this study as a cooperative organization. In the course of conducting this study, it is expected that Sungkyunkwan University Confucian School, Sungkyunkwan Judo Association, and local Hyanggyo and Seowon, which are the subjects of Korean Confucianism, will meet together to talk and communicate. In addition, it will serve as an opportunity to collect the people's expectations of what role Korean Confucianism can play in our time, based on Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon, which remain as buildings until now and still perform ancestral rites, education, and edification functions.
Taehakcheop (太 稧帖), "Bangungdo (泮宮 painting)" (1747) (Head of the Seoul Museum of History,
Seoul Metropolitan Government's Tangible Cultural Property No. 174): It is the oldest visual representation of the structure and layout of Sungkyunkwan's buildings, and it makes us think about how long Sungkyunkwan, located at the front gate of our school, has been preserved.
This research project is based on the 「Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon Act」, which has been in effect since the beginning of this year. This decree was enacted to contribute to the succession of traditional culture and the development of national culture by systematically inheriting, developing, and supporting the tangible and intangible cultures of Seonggyungwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon. Seonggyungwan refers to a national educational institution in the form of a national university established during the Goryeo and Joseon periods to spread study abroad and to cultivate bureaucrats. Hyanggyo is a government-academic educational institution established in the provinces to educate students about studying abroad in the Goryeo and Joseon periods, and there are 234 Hyanggyo across the country. Seowon is a private educational institution established during the Joseon Dynasty to hold ancestral rites to Seonhyeon and educate students, and it is estimated that there are currently about 900 seowon. In the reality that Seonggyungwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon, which still exist next to us with a long history and tradition, have not been systematically provided for administrative and financial support under long-term policies. Through the implementation of laws and the establishment of a comprehensive plan, it is possible to organize the developmental succession plan of the traditional culture and traditional philosophy of Seonggyungwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon, and its present significance at the national and social level.
For the substantial implementation of the "Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon Act", this task will be conducted from a study on the significance of tangible and intangible traditional cultural resources owned by Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon, to basic surveys and policy environment analysis studies necessary for the establishment of policies related to Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon, and based on this, research on the development of a comprehensive plan vision and promotion strategy for mid- to long-term five-year (2025-2029) and detailed project development will be conducted.
As a central institution of Korean Confucianism research, education, and practice, it is expected that Sungkyunkwan University's study abroad university will be an opportunity to draw practical policies and support measures at the national level, including detailed comprehensive plans and projects for the succession and development of Sungkyunkwan, Hyanggyo, and Seowon by compiling domestic and international networks with a sense of mission for the future of Korean Confucianism.
The Confucian Philosophy and Cultural Contents Research Institute at the University of Confucianism has won various research projects to inherit and develop traditional Korean Confucian culture, such as the Cultural Heritage Administration's Important Record Heritage Korean Station Project and the Korea Arts Center's Yehakseo Korean Station Project.
