이 논문은 紫雲 李宜翰(1692~1766)의 삶과 학문경향에 대해 조명한 것이다. 18세기 밀양 지역을 중심으로 활동한 이의한은 평생 중앙정계에 진출하지 않고 향촌을 기반으로 활동했던 處士型 학자이다.그는 碧珍將軍 李忩言(858~938)으로부터 내려오는 학문과 문학, 그리고 절조와 의리를 중시하는 家學的 전통을 계승하고, 나아가 嶺南學統의 큰 주류인 葛庵-大山의 학통과 寒岡-眉叟 학통을 계승한 近畿南人의 학통을 兼攝하여 자기 나름의 학문세계를 추구하였다. 그 결과 그는 젊은 날에 관심을 가졌던 文章學에서 50세를 전후하여 爲己之學으로 학문의 방향을 선회하였다. 그런 가운데 이론 性理學에 치중하기보다 일상적인 삶속에서 자신이 배운 학문을 실천하는 삶을 영위하였다. 그러나 그의 문집에는 마음의 수양과 관련한 글이 없지 않지만, ‘當世의 文衡’으로 평가를 받았던 만큼 公的이고 실용적인 문장을 다수 창작하였다. 이는 이의한 자신을 위해서가 아니라 밀양 지역의 鄕風 振作과 깊은 관련이 있으며, 지역의 대표적인 학자로서의 소임과 책무가 무엇인가를 일깨워주었다.

This study examined the life and academic inclination of Uihan Lee(1692~1766) with the pen name of Jaun. He was a typical Confucian scholar who kept a distance from the central government. He played a very active role in the area of Milyang in the 18th century. He was influenced by Chongeon Lee(858~938), General of Byeokjin County. He also inherited the tradition of family learning which valued integrity and fidelity. Furthermore, he followed the academic tradition which Galam and Daesan had established, which was the mainstream in the academic world of the Yeongnam area. He shared the learning of Namin people in the area near present Seoul who inherited the academic tradition built by Hangang and Misu. In such various ways, Uihan Lee sought his own academic world. When he was young, he was interested in literature written by Confucian scholars, but at the age of fifty or so, he changed his academic direction to learning for himself. He led a life which practiced learning in his daily lives rather than focusing on theoretical Confucianism. Though his literary journal had some writings related to mental discipline, he was thought of as a literary master of the age because he created public and practical writings. Awakened to his obligation and responsibilities as a scholar, he developed the regional style of writing specific to Milyang.
