The study of Jingshu (經書) in Cho-sun dynasty showed a characteristic development which was the reflection of paradigm and epistemology at that time. Especially, the books of Jingshu editied by Jung-Jo(正祖), and the lectures of Jingshu at Kyujang-Gak, led by Jung-Jo(正祖) and Choge-Munsin(招啓文臣), had a significance, in that it synthesized traditional opinions and motivated a new approach on Jingshu. The scholars who were participated in the lectures also represented and developed their own epistemology in the fields of commentaries. Futhermore, the lectures had another respect. Jung-Jo took measures to strengthen the right of his throne ; therefore the lecture of Jingshu was one of that policies, in that it could control the field of studies.

In the late Cho-sun dynasty, the methodology of historical research which was influenced by revision on commentaries of Yuan·Ming·Ching was developed. Otherwise, interpretation of implicit meaning and the relation with the real world, which is so called 'studies of Yili(義理之學)', was advanced. Lectures of Jingshu which was published by Kyujang-Gak was born in these context. Jung-Jo gave lectures and asked questions like distinction between Xinchu(新注)' and Jiuchu(舊注)', and etc., He made an emphasis on opinion of Ju-Hi(朱熹) and criticised on that of recent scholar just like Maoqiling(毛奇齡).

The Books of Jingshu interpretation and Books Lectures of Jingshu published by Jung-Jo(正祖) did not issue the completely new interpretation which could substitute that for Xinchu ; however it was based on the large examinations of various opinions, and it also prepared a new academical tendency of methodology.

정조(이름 : 李算, 1752~1800)는 학자이기를 지향한 군주로서, '우문일념(右文一念)'으로 문치(文治)에 주력하여 여러 문화정책을 추진하였으며, 그 정책을 효과적으로 수행하기 위하여 규장각을 핵심기관으로 삼았다. 이미 즉위년의 교서(敎書)에서 정조는 국가의 급무로 숭유중도(崇儒重道)를 내세웠고, 그 내함은 '위정벽사(衛正闢邪)'라고 강조하였다. 그것은 직접적으로는 주자학 옹호를 위해 이단을 변정하는 작업을 뜻하였다.

조선후기의 한학은 독자적인 문헌학을 확립하여, 전근대 동아시아의 보편적 가치 준거였던경전을 재해석하여 새로운 의리지학(義理之學)을 확립하고자 다각도로 모색하였다. 특히 정조 연간에는 중국에서 발전도상에 있던 고거지학(考據之學)에 대한 관심이 고조되었다. 정조의 경학연구는 내부전통과 외부영향의 두 요소를 결합하여 매우 독특한 방법론을 형성하였다.

조선후기 경학이 채용한 문헌학적 방법론에 대한 메타-크리틱을 하기 위해서는 정조 및 조선 조정의 경학연구방법론에 대한 일정한 검토가 필요하다. 본고는 그러한 검토의 일환으로 정조가 편찬한 경서 관련 서적과 규장각 경서강의를 중심으로 경학연구방법론에 대하여 살펴보았다.
