唐書誌傳通俗演義의 간행과 ‘太宗東征記’의 성격

Abstract

In this paper, I looked at the publication and edition of Romance of the Tang Dynasty, and the author Ung Dae-mok. Among the contents in Romance of the Tang Dynasty, it was also reaffirmed that the data referring to the contents of King Taejong’s expedition to Goguryeo was Taejong-dongJeonggi. In addition, through the review of the contents, it was confirmed that the description was different from the actual history. In particular, it is noteworthy that many fictional characters appear in relation to Goguryeo to explain the battle against Tang Taejong. Yang Man-chun of castellan of Ansi was also one of them. Many of the names of fictional longevity who protected various castles of Goguryeo were mentioned in Romance of the Tang Dynasty, which was the product of creation based on the imagination of Ung dae-mok. Romance of the Tang Dynasty and Taejong-dongjeonggi, which have been continuously mentioned since the middle of the Joseon Dynasty, do not seem to have been widely distributed in Joseon. Except in the case of Lee Si-bal, the records mentioned after directly checking the party’s speech are not well confirmed, and in fact, no editions are actually confirmed in Korea. At that time, it seems that the Joseon intellectuals mentioned what they had heard from someone before or what they had read through the books of previous scholars without confirmation. It seems clear that Romance of the Tang Dynasty, or Taejong-Dongjeonggi, was the subject of gossip for intellectuals at the time when they paid attention to the Battle of Anxi Province, which won the battle against Tang Taejong, which is praised as one of the three emperors of China. In the end, this transmission was handed down and remembered by many people afterwards, providing the basis for the historical fact of literary narratives.
