<馬灘忠烈祠碑銘>에 나타난 박세당의 글쓰기 전략

Abstract

<Matanchungryeolsabimyeong(馬灘忠烈祠碑銘)> was written with the structure different from other epitaph(碑文)s that are reported in Seogyejip(西谿集). There is even a point that it is not the epitaph of honoring individual accomplishment, but there is a great difference from general epitaph even in its narrative style. <Matanchungryeolsabimyeong(馬灘忠烈祠碑銘)> is taking a unique writing method such as establishing relationship between words of being opposed to the description on conceptual language with escaping from the property that the writing in the general Bijiryu(碑誌類, something like a biography written on funerary slabs, gravestones and so on) has. It is contrary to the form of the memorial writing on the dead man that introduced history and had example as Confucian code of ethics as in the general Bijiryu(碑誌類). ‘Ganbong(奸鋒)’ and ‘Hyungyeom(凶焰)’ were aimed to reveal righteous wrath in advocate faithful subjects by clarifying the establishment on relationship between Chungshinyeolsa(忠臣烈士, advocate faithful subjects) and Nanshinjeokja(亂臣賊子) through relative term like ‘Ingi(人紀)’ and ‘Mini(民彝).’ ‘Heaven’ makes a pair with ‘person’ as relative term. Furthermore, 'Nanshinjeokja(亂臣賊子)' and 'person' were written as relative meaning. The repetition and the gradually semantic assignment in this relative term played an important role in highlighting topic. <Matanchungryeolsabimyeong(馬灘忠烈祠碑銘)> is Lee Gwal's past that is felt in the face of being epitaph that pays a tribute to 7 people killed in battle. An assailant's outrageous power was markedly expressed. Compared to it, 7 people's defense was described as if falling endlessly. That is because the focus of narration is being put on Lee Gwal who is Nanshinjeokja(亂臣賊子), not Chungshinyeolsa(忠臣烈士). This can be said to be strategic writing for giving the effect of emphasizing Chungshinyeolsa(忠臣烈士) by revealing a traitorous mind of Lee Gwal as Nanshinjeokja(亂臣賊子). As for the specific significance that is seen in this epigraphy, the writing strategy that was attempted for revealing 7 people even if being the reverence for 7 commanders who oriented the Chungnyeolsa Shrine, was confirmed to be completely contrary to the form that epigraphy(碑銘) has. Rather than having simply revered 7 people's accomplishments, it is looking at a way as a human being that Lee Gwal as Jeongsagongshin(定社功臣) will need to have in the process of being changed into Lee Gwal as Nanshinjeokja(亂臣賊子). It will be said to be the writing form that is rarely found in epitaph(碑文) or Bijiryu(碑誌類).
