Yoo Hwi-moon: The Book That Shapes a Human Being: Annotated Elementary Learning and Chapter on the Elementary Learning

In today's society, the organic interconnectedness of communal human life—represented by the concept of "we"—is becoming increasingly diluted. However, regardless of changing times and shifting customs, what remains constant across time and cultures is the fundamental premise of realizing humane character as a moral subject. *Sohak* sets the goal of education as cultivating the virtues of humanity to seek and maintain an order of mutual coexistence within human relationships through the restraint of individual speech and behavior, and it provides exemplary cases to enable the voluntary practice of this. Zhu Xi referred to *Sohak* as a "framework for shaping a human being," and our ancestors held a firm conviction that this book was essential for rectifying human morality. Therefore, *Sohak* is indeed a sustainable discipline for the future that can serve as an alternative for awakening and developing human morality, not only in the school setting but also in social education and for elevating civic consciousness.
