Abstract

Most of the Chinese poems portraying Ahn Jung~geun were created by actively utilizing numerous Chinese great men’s images of character and allusions. The characters used for Ahn Jung-geun’s image can be largely classified into two types: “刺客” (assassin) and “俠士” (chivalrous man). Chinese poems mourned and praised Ahn Jung-geun, who was not afraid of death at all, by embodying heroic figures and defending Ahn Jung-geun’s spirit. The most likened figure was Jing Ke (荊軻), and Yu Rang(豫讓)、Yao Li(要離)、Nie Zheng(聶政)、Gao Jian-li(高漸離)、Yi Liao(宜僚) were also appropriately used. In general, the term “assassin” tends to be understood as “a person who specializes in secretly killing people, an assassinator.” However, the assassins compared to Ahn Jung-geun in Chinese poetry were not represented in a negative and narrow sense. These figures have a very positive image with the personality of “chivalry,” namely, the image of a national and social leader who practiced both loyalty and revenge. The other class of image of characters used in Ahn Jung-geun’s representation are those that can be considered as “英雄” (heroes) and “志士” (patriots). Zhang Liang (張良), who contributed to the founding of the Han Dynasty, was used the most. “Xian Zhen(先軫)、Yang Yi(楊儀)、Tang Ju (唐雎)、Lin Xiang-ru(藺相如)、Shen Bao-xu (申包胥)、Dong Gong(董公)、Lu Yang-gong(魯陽公)、 Wen Tian-xiang(文天祥)” were also adopted. In particular, Chinese poems praised Zhang Liang as a “great man” of China, who established the shining historical record, and emphasized that his indomitable spirit continued to Ahn Jung-geun. Chinese poems also sang that their this tradition would be transmitted to Korea permanently. It is a metaphor and narrative of “hope” that encourages the Chinese in hardship. The Chinese longed to establish the epitome of robust leadership that could save the country in times of distress. Ultimately, it was also hoped that the general public would internalize Ahn Jung-geun’s positive image as chivalrous man and patriots, and further accept this image as the root of an ideal national character. In this regard, Ahn Jung-geun was a timely role model. Therefore, he was represented as a chivalrous and great man in China and could be sung in many poems. In addition, some poems praised Ito Hirobumi for a similar purpose, portraying his heroic aspect that led to reform and prosperity.
