松江歌辭의 당대적 가치와 현대적 수용

Abstract

The Value in Those Days and Modern Acceptanceof Songgang Gasa We call the four Gasa literary work(“Gwandongbyeolgok”, “Samiingok”, “Sokmiingok”, “Seongsanbyeolgok”) written by Jeong-cheol(1536~1593), the poet of the Joseon Dynasty period, Songgang Gasa. Songgang Gasa was created about 400 years ago and it has been regarded as the greatest Gasa literary work. However the readers' values of the times caused them to be indifferent to Songgang Gasa now. So this paper is intended to consider what the value in those days of Songgang Gasa is and the matters concerning modern acceptance. Accepting and appreciating literary works are apt to be different according to the change of the time. There is two reasons why 400 years old Songgang Gasa leads modern readers to avoid it after a discussion. One is that it sticks to confucian morals extraordinarily, the other is that an enjoying form, singing, is faded out now. Consequently above all things, modern readers need to understand it in that surrounding environment and the theory of educating literature must be a guide to that understanding.
