Ryukeien

A scholar from the Yi Dynasty of Korea. His pen name was Deokfu and his pen name was Bankei. He devoted his life to academic research and wrote many books, but only Bankei Surok, which describes his vision for building an ideal nation, remains today. From the standpoint of an agrarian ideology that the land is the foundation of the world, he advocated reforming the entire social system, which had many drawbacks at the time, by implementing land reform first. Bankei Surok was later published by special order of King Yeongjo (reigned 1724-1776), and his practical knowledge of governance and practical use was inherited by Seongho Yi (1681-1763), Dasan Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1836), and others.

朝鮮、李(り)朝の学者。字(あざな)は徳夫。号は磻渓(ばんけい)。生涯学問研究に専心し、多くの書物を著したが、彼の理想国家建設の構想を述べた『磻渓随録』のみが現在残されている。土地は天下の根本という農本思想の立場から、まず土地改革を実施することによって、当時の弊害の多かった社会制度全般を改めることを主張した。のちに『磻渓随録』は英祖（在位1724～1776）の特命で刊行され、彼の経世致用の実学は星湖李(りよく)（1681―1763）、茶山丁若鏞(ていじゃくよう)（1762―1836）らに継承された。
