This paper analyzed the theory of the Nature and Principle of Kim Mae-soon, who was a representative scholar of the Nak-ron(洛論) in the early 19th century, focusing on Horak Controversy. He not only embodied his academic view based on the tradition of Andong Kim's family, but also faithfully succeeded the view of the Nak-ron closely linked to the his family academic tradition. He was more familiar with Neo-Confucianism than any other scholar of his time, and he completed the commentary on 《ZhuZiDaQuan》(朱子大全) developed after the 17th century. He also wrote a series of works that specifically describe his academic views through a detailed understanding and confirmation of various Confucian scriptures, including 《Zhongyong》(中庸) and 《TaHsueh》(大學). In particular, he systematized his own neo-Confucian view, which he achieved through deep thought and literature review, into the 《Gweolyeosanphil》(闕餘散筆) at the end of his life. This paper is the first study of Kim Mae-soon's theory of Confucianism. Through this paper, I first examined his life in terms of thought formation and development. And then I analyzed his views specifically on the subject of Hoak Controversy, focusing on the discussion of the nature of people and things in 《Geueolyeosanphil》. Finally, I carefully examined his academic influence in a poetic way, focusing on scholars who had communicated with him.
