<夢見諸葛亮>의 작자 劉元杓의 동아시아 정세 인식과 그 추이

Abstract

This paper aims to research the trends of Yu, Wonpyo’s judgement of East Asian situation with his works and newspaper articles. The results are as follows. Before the Russo-Japanese War, the argument went down very well with many people in Joseon(朝鮮) that the alliance of Korea, China and Japan was needed to hold back the invasion of Russia. Especially this argument was based on the theory of human race. However, Yu did not accept the theory of human race, so he regarded Japan not as the partner of alliance, but as the vigilance. The Russo-Japanese War ended in Japan’s win, this led Yu to the embrace of the theory of human race and to the negative perception of Joseon. And he expected that the alliance of Korea, China and Japan would bring about the peace in the Asia. But Japan’s win caused the Protectorate Treaty between Korea and Japan concluded in 1905. MonggyeonJegalryang was the results of Yu’s worries about the situation of Joseon and East Asia. In this work, Yu insisted that major and minor problems exist on every era, and the competition between yellow and white begin after the Russo-Japanese War. After Japanese annexation of Korea, Yu began to follow the Japanese colonial policy aggressively, his defection came from the tour for Japan in 1909. He regarded Japan as the absolute standard and model of Civilization and Enlightenment, and insisted extremely that the practical gain should be the motive and the object.
