三淵 金昌翕의『史記』 비평 양상 연구: 「漫錄」을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper aims to elucidate the characteristic aspects and significance of Kim Chang-heup(金昌翕)’s criticism of Shiji(『史記』) in the “Manrok”(「漫錄」) section of his Samyeonjip (『三淵集』), thereby demonstrating Kim's important position in the reception history of Shiji in Chosun Dynasty. Kim’s criticism of Shiji exhibits three characteristic aspects. Firstly, it’s sentence analysis is centered around the inner psychology of Sima Qian(司馬遷). Kim use Sima Qian‘s inner psyche as a central basis for sentence analysis to elucidate the flow and meaning of the entire text. Secondly, Kim demonstrates a departure from the moralistic debate and instead shows a realistic interest in revealing the contextual causes of historical events and figures. Thirdly, Kim attempts a comprehensive commenting encompassing structural analysis, sentence criticism, and interpretation of meanings and contexts. Prior to Kim, there are few examples of similar criticisms among Chosun literati, highlighting the significance of his understanding and level of interest in Shiji. Kim’s criticism establishes an original view on Shiji and lays the foundation for later commentaries, thus holding great significance from the perspective of the reception history of Shiji. Through the process of reading Shiji, Kim thoroughly considered others’ viewpoints and formulated his own original perspective, thereby claiming to have properly understood Shiji. Furthermore, his comprehensive commentary work laid important groundwork for subsequent independent commentaries on Shiji unique to Chosun. All these factors significantly elevated the level of understanding of Shiji in Chosun at that time.
