18~9세기 불교가사에 나타난 현실 인식

Abstract

The Recognition of Reality in Bulgyo-Gasa in the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth Century Jo, Tae-seong Based on the results of the existing research, this study tried to bestow literary historical value on Bulgyo-Gasa(Buddhist lyrics) instead of focusing on the former study such as essays on authors or on works. The notion of "literary historical value" is defined only in one category of genre, Gasa. This value can be found in the process of making synchronic significance with common specialty of works produced at the same period and comparing/analyzing other works with the significance at the diachronic point of view. This article reckons that such common specialty is in the changing recognition of reality implied in Bulgyo-Gasa. In addition, the value is revealed in the process of observing the change of themes because the detailed aspect of this change is connected to the themes of works. For this investigation, Jeonseolingwagok written by Ji-hyeong and Gweonwangga written by Dongwha, the Zen priest, are chosen as the main works.
