Yi Neung-hwa, the 6th year of King Gojong of Joseon (1869 – April 12, 1943) was a Korean historian and folklorist. The son is Jahyeon, and the pen name was Ganjeong, Sanghyeon, and Musunggeosa.

Life
He was from Goesan, North Chungcheong Province. The main house is Jeonju, the descendant of Seonseong-gun, the fourth son of King Jeongjong, and the son of Lee Won-geum (1849-1919), who served as a member of the Council of Hong Mun-gwan Gyo-ri, Lee Jo-cham, and the Military Security Office.

He learned Chinese at a local seodang when he was young. In his hometown, his nickname was Lee Talmang, which was given because he usually went around without wearing a a headband.

In 1889, when he was 21 years old, he entered the Seoul and Jeongdong English School and studied for two years

In 1894, I graduated from Hansung-Hanoe (Chinese) school, he entered the Government Law School in 1895 and became the first Korean to teach French at Hansung Foreign Language School in 1897 before graduation(~1911), He was fluent in English, French, Chinese, and Japanese by learning foreign languages while serving as an instructor at Hansung Foreign Language School, and he graduated from a private Japanese language school from 1905 to 1906.

In October 1906, he became the principal of the Hansung Law School, and under the special command of the Uijeongbu government, he went to Japan to inspect various government offices and returned, and in July 1907, he participated as a member of the Korean Language Institute.

After the annexation of Korea and Japan (1910), Yi Neung-hwa began research on the religion, national culture, and social conditions of Joseon. In 1912, he founded a private Neungin Normal School and was the principal, In 1914, he became a director in 1917 after being an executive secretary of the Buddhist Promotion Association and an editor and publisher of the Monthly Bulletin of the Buddhist Promotion Association, an organization of the Buddhist Promotion Association.

In 1922, he served as a member of the Joseon History Compilation Committee (later changed to the Joseon History Compilation Society) organized by the Governor-General of Joseon and participated in the compilation of Joseon History for 15 years, and studied Korean religion and folklore with collected data. In 1930, he became a councillor of the Cheonggu Society led by Japanese scholars. In 1931, the Keimyung Club was established to carry out the National Enlightenment Movement, and he was a lecturer at the Central Buddhist College (now Dongguk University).

Evaluation
Lee Neung-hwa was the first person to take the unique subject of Korean religion, or Korean women's history, as the subject of full-fledged learning. He saw that there were five religious traditions in Joseon: Protestantism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and Christianity. In response to the change in the religious situation that occurred after the opening of the port, a new 'view' of 'religion' was sought, and the religious situation of the time was recognized as 'coexistence of religions' and 'separation phenomenon between religious and social (political) areas'. In response to this perception, Lee Neung-hwa presented two perspectives: 1) a comparative religious perspective on religion and 2) a Korean religious (social) historical perspective. It is also considered his achievement to pay attention to the lives of women who were alienated from the Confucian male-dominated society, leaving Joseon Girls' High School, which summarizes the overall history of Korean women, and Joseon Haehwasa Temple, which focuses on the history of gisaeng.

However, most of Lee Neung-hwa's writings are in Chinese, not in Korean, and there are many excerpts from related historical materials here and there, so it is more of a "data collection" than a "research."

In addition, it is pointed out that Yi Neung-hwa's research on Joseon folklore and history was conducted as part of the Japanese Government-General's exploration and analysis of Joseon to facilitate Japanese colonial rule.

Lee Neung-hwa himself was involved in the compilation of Joseon history as a member of the Joseon History Compilation Association and was a member of the Culture Committee of the Korean Federation, a pro-Japanese organization, in 1940.

It was included in the list of 708 pro-Japanese groups announced in 2002, and was also selected in the education/academic category on the first list of prospective candidates to be included in the pro-Japanese life dictionary compiled by the National Institute of Korean Studies in 2008. It was also included in the list of 705 pro-Japanese anti-ethnic acts announced by the Pro-Japanese Anti-ethnic Acts Commission.
