고려후기 詞文學의 전개 양상과 미적 특질

Abstract

Sa(詞) is a very unique genre in the history of Korean Chinese poetry. Because it is rhythmical in spite that it belongs to prose genre. Sa(詞) originally starts from song lyrics. As time, however, went on, Sa詞 came to be read for reading itself regardless of singing. In the history of Korean Chinese poetry, Sa(詞) was introduced to Koryeo Dynasty from Song Dynasty. Since then, it had been created regardless of its own original purpose as a song. That's because there was a real barrier between real spoken language as lyrics and written language as poems. Besides, Korean Chinese poetry, a similar genre to Sa(詞) had been already being created actively. Although poets of the day needed not particularly be warming to creation of Sa(詞), it not only remained in existence until late Chosun Dynasty, but also the number of writer and literary works related to it rapidly increased. The first Sa(詞) remained in the history of Korean literacy was written by King Sunjong. He wrote Hasungjosa(賀聖朝詞) celebrating the birthday of the emperor of Yao dynasty with it following Yangryuji(楊柳枝). After that, the creation of Sa(詞) became active. For instance, a number of poets such as Kimguki(金克己), Leekyubo(李奎報), Leejehyon(李齊賢), Leegok (李穀), Jungpo(鄭誧), Kimguyong(金九容), Jungdojeon(鄭道傳), Kwongun (權近) engaged themselves in writing Sa(詞). Hyesim(慧諶) known as monk and poet also wrote Sa(詞). The number of poets of Koryeo Dynasty who bequeathed works of Sa(詞) is 10 and 110 poems were leaved. They used 30 kinds of rhythms Sapae(詞 牌)-Manggangnam(望江), Wangyesa(浣溪紗), Gyejihyangman(桂枝香慢) as well as Musanildanun(巫山一段雲). Poems written by them consists of contents involving personal emotion, as is the case with the line of Buksongsa(北宋 詞). But unlike Buksongsa(北宋詞), poems about vanity of life are more predominant than ones about love affair.
