19세기 산문론에서 ‘實’의 문제

Abstract

This essay is to look over an aspect of the prose theory in the nineteenth century by the notion of the 'Sil'[實]. It targets, especially, the ancient theoretician affiliated to Tand and Sung dynasties in China, who very importantly treated the notions of the 'Judgment'[見識] and 'Spiritual Awaken'[妙悟] as well as the 'Sil'. They got the 'Judgment' under their ingenious insights as writers, and on the basis of this they asserted to create the realistic literature. In case that the 'Judgment' and 'Spiritual Awaken' are the basic elements for the main of the creation, the 'Sil' is the best value that literature intends to gain and achieve. This essay separates the nineteenth into the first, middle and latter periods and studies the main writers by periods. That is, it targets Hond seok-ju[洪奭周], Hong gil-ju[洪吉周] and Kim mae-seun[金邁淳] in the first period, Yu shin-whan[兪莘煥], Pak gyu-su[朴圭壽] in the middle period, and Han jang-seok[韓章錫] and Kim yun-sik[金允植]. In the first period, writers pursued the practical and effective literature world under a tradition of the union of literature and morality. In the middle and latter, actual (or personal) and social affairs are concretized as the realistic alternative plan. It was the important concern to them that their studies and literature could not be isolated from their contemporary. Although the gentility literature in the nineteenth was negatively recognized because of the fall of Chinese classics in the twenty century, we can see that the mind of literature is well by the text of those writers, whose emphases were that study and literature should be realistic about the contemporary days. So, I wish that this is the serious and stable foundation to look over traces of the gentility literature in the latter period as well as a consideration about the trace of realism.
