景淵堂 李玄祚의 「東遊錄」 연구

Abstract

Gyeongyeondang Yi, Hyeonjo was one of the most influential literati belong to the Nam-in clan residing near the Capital. In 1691, appointed as a magistrate for the city of Hweyang, Yi Hyeonjo visited Mt. Geumgang (Diamond Mountain) with his cousin Yi, Hyeonseok during which a collection of poems called the Dongyurok was composed. In it, there are total of 167 Chinese poems, composed in the prosodic form of rhyme ‘where-to tread rhyme(次⭕⭕韻)’, ‘where-to cherish tread rhyme(追次⭕⭕韻)’ and so on. Such prosodic form is to usher his grandfather, YiMingu’sDongyurok (東遊錄) uncle YiDonggyu’sPungagrok(楓岳錄), and his cousin YiHyeonseok’sDongyurok (東遊錄). It is remarkable that the entire composition was done in this form of prosodic rhyme differently from other Mt. Geumgangperegrinatedpoems. Moreover, as the descendants of YiSugwang (penname: Jibong), the patriarchic figure in the clan, Yi Hyeonjo has dedicated the collection to Sugwang, and Mt. Geumgang was recognized as the object of longing and commemoration not merely an object of excursion for personal gratification. As such, this research investigates the unique features of poems contained inthe Dongyurok.Here, there are some salient features: is that when the author visited the places where his ancestors visited, Yi began the poem with the word ‘tread(次)’; if he did not visit those places, the poem began with either ‘where-to tread rhyme(次某韻),’ or ‘where-to, where-to tread rhyme(某地次某韻).’If, however, Yi’s ancestor used the prosodic form used by another poet, the word ‘follow(步) was used, and if Yi’s ancestor’s poems used to other literati, the term ‘Yong(用) was used. The above methodological utilization was implemented for the purpose of expressing gratitude towards his ancestors and paying tribute.
