On Choson Korean Confucianists'Interpretations about Wen Tianxiang's Saying"Going Home with Yellow Crown"
It is an effective way to solve this problem by clarifying its historical source that Wen Tianxiang's saying"Going Home with Yellow Crown"had been recorded in Songshi·Wen Tianxiangzhuan which abridged and edited from the narrative of Deng Guangjian's"Biography of Wen Chengxiang".Since Choson King Jeongjo followed Songshi Wen Tianxiangzhuan rather than Hong Chixi's Wenshan Xianshen Xiangzhuan in his Song Shiquan so that the Korean Confucian scholars did not question the saying"Going Home with Yellow Crown",but gave various interpretations.Those for example,the revenge for the Song Dynasty,the"doctrine of indoctrination"and the"theory of keeping pace with times",enrich the understanding of Wen Tianxiang's saying"Going Home with Yellow Crown",and also help to deeply explore Wen Tianxiang's concept of life and death.Wen Tianxiang's spirit of loyalty and righteousness was in line with the political culture of"respecting the Zhou and Missing the Great Ming"in the later period of the Choson dynasty,so he became one of the important historical figures concerned by the Korean Confucians.
