안축의 <관동별곡>에 구현된 목민의식

Abstract

An Chuk was one of the newly emerging confucian bureaucrats who had qualification and business ability of local governor in the late of Goryeo dynasty. He aimed at confucian rule of Virtue and the stabilization of the people's livelihood. He regards the consciousness of governing the people, which is the core of the theme. And the content and structure of Gwandongbyeolgok is focused on the figuration of the theme. I tried to analyze the political thought and governance theory of An Chuk and the consciousness of governing the people in Gwandongbyeolgok. The basis of political thought of An Chuk lies on Neo-confucianism in Yuan Dynasty, Mencius fixed property theory and the kingcraft politics theory. An Chuk found that the problems of the late of Goryeo dynasty were due to indictments of political, social and economical policies. In order to overcome this problem, he suggested his motto the realization of confucian kingcraft politics. Also he designed governance theory by stage; peasants for financial independence by increasing agricultural productivity → people's settlement life and keeping their position → culturing self and governing the people by confucian ethics education, promotion on Neo-confucianism as a government scholar → the newly emerging confucian bureaucrats training → a well-ordered confucian state. I considered that Gwandongbyeolgok's poetry form traditionally was appropriated an aesthetic senses of the eight scenes poems(Palgeongsi) which the newly emerging confucian bureaucrats created and enjoyed at that time. Gwandongbyeolgok is consisted of 9 stanzas, the first stanza is implicated in this work and the form of Palgeongsi is embodied from the second stanza to the ninth stanza. I revealed that the Palgeongsi section is assimilated with different spaces and sequential time. This was analyzed by 'Ambiguous boundary zone(evening) → Not-A(night) → A(dawn → day)'. The Palgeongsi section is organically composed of 8 stanzas in Gwandongbyeolgok. Thus, the scenery of Gwandong in this work can be understood as a secondary nature that saw it from confucian bureaucrats point of view. Meanwhile, I grasped that political power and duty of local governor from his king were sacred through the establishing of dreamlike experience in Not-A and a new day in A. Thus, I concluded that An Chuk's Gwandongbyeolgok is showed the characteristics of confucian bureaucrats.
