朴趾源의 「以存堂記」에 나타난현실 인식과 대응 방식

Abstract

Ijongdanggi is a writing for Ijongdang of Jang Jung-geo. Jang Jung-geo was threatened by the outside world due to his violent speech, and he decides to retire under the title of Ijong. It is the superficial content of this period that advises such a person to observe etiquette through 四勿. Accordingly, Ijongdanggi has been understood as a writing in which Pak Chiwŏn asked Jang Jung-geo, who is rude and often makes mistakes while drunk, not to dwell recklessly and observe etiquette. Noting that almost the situation in Ijongdanggi was similar to the actual situation experienced by Pak Chiwŏn and that the explanation of the situation was consistent with Pak Chiwŏn's another prose, This paper reads Ijongdanggi as a discussion of the reality faced by Pak Chiwŏn, not as an advice given to the other. Accordingly, the paper reviewed the transformation of the Ijongdanggi’s Samuljang, and examined the context of social critical discussions detected in Ijongdanggi through the contents of Imongjik-Aesa and private records of Pak Chiwŏn. Through this, it was confirmed that the crisis almost meant a political dispute, and that the shape of the crisis strongly reflected Pak Chiwŏn's situation at the time. In addition, it was considered that the theory of things in Ijongdanggi meant advocacy and encouragement to Gwangsa, who maintained a straight will in the turbulent times, not to lose its original will. This was not only a message to Jang Jung-geo, who decided to retire due to heartbreak, but also an encouragement that Pak Chiwŏn, who had to leave Hanyang to seclude himself at the time, wanted to hear from his friend Hong Dae-yong.
