동아시아 학계의 『韻鏡』연구 성과 분석―문헌학 연구를 중심으로―

Abstract

This paper aims to conduct an inductive analysis on the results of bibliographic research on Inkyō(韻鏡, also known as Yunjing, or “Mirror of Rhymes”), drawing from the academia of East Asian countries such as Korea, China, and Japan, and review each one’s theories. The results of the research are divided into the following three themes in this paper: the time of completion of Inkyō(韻鏡), the rhyme book upon which Inkyō(韻鏡) was based, and the editions of Inkyō(韻鏡). In the aforementioned academia, it is assumed that there was a rhyme table to which Inkyō(韻鏡) referred in its preface. There is an ongoing debate as to when the prototype of Inkyō(韻鏡) was completed. Sato(1930) holds that the original version of Inkyō(韻鏡) was completed before the Sui and Tang dynasties, Oya(1978) said that the Sui dynasty was the time of completion, and Kim(2000), Oshima(2003), Ogawa(1977), Todo and Kobayashi (1977) and Luo Changpei(1935) all agree that the prototype was completed during the Tang dynasty. Choi(2000) said the time of completion was around the end of the Tang Dynasty. All academic circles have agreed that the rhyme book to which Inkyō(韻鏡) referred utilized the QieYun(切韻) rhyme system. However, there were different theories as to what kind of rhyme book was specifically based on it. Ogura(2006) proposed the theory of Li Zhou(李舟)'s book, QieYun; Sato (1930) held the theory of the Tangyun(唐韻) books; Ge(1957) and Yang(2006) said that there had been a rhyme book from the Qieyun rhyme system in Tang dynasty which no longer exists and that Inkyō(韻鏡) referred to this book; and Li(1986) theorized that it was the Yunlue(韻略), which was published by the ministry of rites during Jingde times. None of the rhyme books that have been handed down are completely consistent with Inkyō(韻鏡), so it will require further research. As a result of a comprehensive investigation of the editions of the Inkyō(韻鏡), a few key variations were found. There was the impressive research such as Inkyō(韻鏡) exhibition Catalog(1939) published by Ōtani university library in Japan, Mabuchi(1970), Yang(2006), Liu and Deng(2011) etc. According to Mabuchi (1970), it was divided into manuscripts and printed books. Liu and Deng(2011) introduced 29 different editions of Inkyō(韻鏡). Although many scholars in the Korean Sinology academia have conducted research on Inkyō(韻鏡) from a bibliographic perspective, Korean academia still needs to focus on the problems of how Inkyō(韻鏡) was imported from China and how many editions of Inkyō(韻鏡) were published on or transported to the Korean peninsula.
