The purpose of this paper is to examine the aspects and contents of the Nine Chinese Classics, especially those cited in the writings of women during the Chosun Dynasty. Considering that the foundation of the studies and political ideology in Chosun Dynasty is based on the Confucian scriptures and annotations, it is very important to look at how the Nine Chinese Classics were quoted and mentioned in the writings of Chosun women and to examine what their implications are. The main content of this paper is to take note of Queen Sohye's Naehoon to examine in what context the Nine Chinese Classics are quoted and read. Taking into consideration the historical context in which women's reading and knowledge activities were not welcome and the only books women had access to were women's discipline books, women's discipline books were not only just the text for disciplining women but also a mechanism for women to access Confucian scriptures. Through these discussions, the knowledge of traditional women can be re-examined and women can be established as the subject of recognition. By doing so, an opportunity is provided to expand the contents of Confucianism in Chosun Dynasty, which were centered on knowledge of male Confucian scholars until present. It may also address issues such as Chosun women's knowledge experience and activities of the Nine Chinese Classics, as well as the political desire of women inherent in them.

The purpose of this study was to discuss the relationship between Korean people's normative sense of the traditional filial piety and their affiliation with relatives. For this purpose, the researcher reviewed ethics books during the Chosun dynasty such as Naehoon Women's Ethics), Dongmongsonsup (Children's Cardinal Moral Principles) ,Kyokmongyokyol (Juvenile's Learning) and Gyuenyoso (Instructions for Daughters of Marriageable Age), Based on this review a questionnaire was designed. For the survey,566 returned questionnaires from married people between their 20's and 70's living in Seoul and Wonju Si were sampled The collected data were analyzed using the SAS program for means and SDs of each area in order to examine the overall tendency, and were subject to one-way ANOVA to determine the relationship between their normative sense of the traditional filial piety and their affiliations with relatives depending on their demographic variables, In addition to this correlation analysis, the data underwent regression analysis to determine the significant factors affecting the subjects' sense of filial piety and their affiliation with relatives. The results of this study can be summarized as follows ; First, the subjects were found to have a normal or higher sense of filial piety in overall terms, which suggests that the Korean morality of filial piety may be positive. In particular, the subjects' sense of filial piety was higher for living parents than for dead ones. Namely, they wanted to give more respect, honor and support to their parents than give a cordial funeral or memorial service to deceased parents. Second, older Koreans were more aware of filial piety, and men were more conscious of filial piety than women. Buddhists or atheists tended to be more faithful to their parents. Generally, those with lower academic background and living with larger families had a higher normative sense of filial piety. On the other hand, those in their 60's and 70's were most affiliated with their relatives, while youth and middle-aged people were less affiliated with their relatives. Men were more affiliated with their relatives than women, and first sons or daughters were more affiliated with their relatives. Besides, those living with larger families were more affiliated with their relatives. Third, the subjects' normative sense of filial piety, particularly for deceased parents, was highly correlated with their affiliation with relatives, and such a normative sense of filial piety was most conspicuous in their funeral rites.
