초기 笑話의 역사성과 그 성격

Abstract

This study aims to investigate characteristics according to the creation and changes of Sohwa that is one of premodern writing types. Traditionally, ‘Essay’ is one of writing types representing orientation of the literati class(Seonbi) and Sohwa is one of the essay. We have regarded Sohwa as the product of a kill-time and communication of the literati class. However, in reality Sohwa is one of the most political writings that prepared grounds to exist their group as the literati class started taking a type of whistle-blowing from the inside after Tang and Song Dynasties. This aspect discriminates other classes including the common people and takes the relative dominance of their group. This study is an example analyzed the fact from the East Asian perspective through historical traces from Sima Qian’s <Golgyeyeoljeon> to Seo Geojeong’s <Taepyeonghanwhagolgyejeon> of the early Joseon. First of all, <Golgyeyeoljeon> regarded to be an origin of Sohwa was in tradition of satire and was presented as a means of rule. This is changed into the awakening of the people as private Sohwa appeared in Wei(魏)Dynasty and Jin(晉) Dynasty. In Tang and Song Dynasties, the intellectual class who appeared as a new literary bureaucracy created Sohwa as one of the Essay and since then, Sohwa was recreated as the exclusive property representing their group. Of course, the nature faced the control of their group but also strongly excluded and overthrew other groups. The literati who were developed as the new literary intellectual class in Goryeo Dynasty shared such a tradition of Sohwa in Tang and Song Dynasties so gave a discriminative eye the monk and the warrior. In Joseon Dynasty, the object of discrimination was expanded to not only the monk and the warrior but also the common people, women, and the disabled people. This aspect is shown through <Taepyeonghanwhagolgyejeon>. This is strongly suspected to use skillfully Sohwa’s characteristic which seems to communicate with other classes outwardly. Eventually, it means that identity of the literati who controlled the premodern text after Tang and Song Dynasties is completely seen. Through more discussions, it needs to enhance this consciousness on the matter.
