<續美人曲>의 敎材的 考察

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the body and interpretation of <Sokmiingok> which is included in the existing highschool reference book. Since the original of <Sokmiingok> doesn't exist, the Panbon(woodblock-printed book) such as Yiseonbon, Gwanseobon and Seongjubon have been used as substitutional documents for relevant researches. Upon comparison, the Yiseonbon was recognized to have the least scratches among the three Panbon. Meanwhile edited on the basis of both Yiseonbon and Seongjubon, <Sokmiingok> in the reference book has therefore more or less errors, so only the Yiseonbon should be chosen as a Seonbon(the best selected book). Although the interpretations of <Sokmiingok> appear quite similar in the various reference books, their details show some problems which interrupt proper understanding of <Sokmiingok>'s contexts; errors made in transcription and selection, the different views among reference books or between the reference book and the academia, and insufficient interpretation. As there are some problems found in the reference book of <Sokmiingok>, the related academic circles, compliers and researchers should all join forces to present the body and accomplish the faithful interpretation. The education is impossible without the true reference book.
