Yi I appreciate the value of Lao-zi contrary to Joseon Confucian scholars’ negative attitude about Lao-zi. Yi I selected two-fifth of Lao-zi’s contents and edited newly with his annotation. According to his philosophical thought, he deleted and transformed Lao-zi’s concepts. Yi I’s studies demonstrated the connection between Taoism and Confucianism finally. Based on his studies, this paper explored several important ideas of Chun-yan. Chun-yan includes philosophical ideas such as ke-ji-zhi-yu 克己窒慾, qian-xu-zi-mu 謙虛自牧, jing-zhong-zi-shou 靜重自守 and ci-jian-lin-min 慈簡臨民, etc. With a thorough research and discussion about the concepts in Chun-yan with Confucianism’s thoughts like “li-qi 理氣”, “jiao-qi-zhi 矯氣質”, “wu-shi 務實” and so on, Yi I indicated Chun-ya’s “yi-ru-jie-lao 以儒解老” viewpoints clearly. All thing considered, Yi I comprehended the concepts of Lao-zi by using Confucian ideas, and presented a new interpretation which is distinct from tradition. He transformed, deleted the philosophical concepts of Lao-zi in accordance with Confucian thinking structure of xiu-ji-zhi-ren 修己治人, and thus he intended to emphasize on actual utility of Lao-zi. Nevertheless Yi I suggested it is possible that Confucianism embraced Taoism by building up the separated ideological system of Chunyan under the perspective of “yi-ru-jie-lao”. In other words, he considered that there is an intimate connection between the concepts of Lao-zi and the Confucian ideas, and presented the possibility to interpret Lao-zi with Confucian thought.

李珥一反朝鮮儒者傳統上對老子完全否定的態度，欣賞老子的價值，選擇《老子》五分之二的內容，重新編輯，加以註解，以他的哲學刪削轉化老子的槪念，使老子和儒家哲學能夠連結。本文探究《醇言》中一些重要觀念：《醇言》裡面有克己窒慾、謙虛自牧、靜重自守（修己）及慈簡臨民（治人）等主要的哲學觀念。進而對《醇言》的重要概念，舉出「理氣」、「矯氣質」、「務實」等概念予以探討，藉此呈現《醇言》「以儒解老」的立場。總而言之，李珥用儒家哲學的觀念來理解《老子》的概念，展示出與傳統以來不同的新解釋。 他依據修己治人的儒家思維結構，將老子哲學的概念予以轉化與刪削，並試圖強調《老子》所具有的實際效用。然而李珥在「以儒解老」的觀點之下，經由構築《醇言》的獨立思維體系，來說明了老子哲學可以吸收或容納在儒家之內。換句話說，他認為老子哲學的概念與儒家理念間其實有著緊密關聯，並藉此提出以儒家思想為中心來解釋《老子》的可能性。
