신공제 《해동명적》의 발간 배경과 서예사적 의의

Abstract

In traditional times, it was the duty of descendants to pass down their ancestors' calligraphy and the handwriting of the head of the household. Shin Gongje‘s family of the lineage of the Goryeong Shin is a representative family that passed down calligraphy as a family lesson and preserved the handwriting of the head of the household. In this paper, I investigated the background of the publication of Haedong Myeongjeok from the perspective of a family lesson and decided its significance in the history of calligraphy. In the background of the publication of Haedong Myeongjeok, there was an influence of the family lesson started in the generation of Shin Deok-rin and completed in that of Shin Sukju. Shin Gongje raised fame as a calligrapher by publishing Haedong Myeongjeok based on his family's lessons. However, there must be a material basis to own and enjoy paintings and calligraphy. The descendants of the Goryeong Shin family repeatedly passed through the government services in the late Goryeo and early Joseon Dynasties, and Shin Sukju's literary spirit and close association with Prince Anpyeong became the driving force for Shin Gongje to publish Haedong Myeongjeok. After the publication of Haedong Myeongjeok, later generations understood the calligraphy styles of previous generations through Haedong Myeongjeok and used it as a model when publishing calligraphy books. The calligraphy materials included served as materials for the publication of later generations' calligraphy books, and they played a role in spreading new calligraphy styles, such as the cursive script of Xianyu Shu and Kangli Naonao and the Zhangcao script(a specific kind of the cursive script developed from the clerical script) of Deng Wenyuan. By the way, Yeolseong Eopil includes King Munjong's handwriting, which is his original handwriting that we cannot see anywhere else. I hope this study will serve as a reference for understanding the calligraphy activities of families who passed down the calligraphy and handwriting of their ancestors, established their fame in calligraphy, and shared it with the world.
