최치원 문학의 생태문화적 상상력

Abstract

34 kinds of 108 trees appear in the literature of Choi Chi-won, who lived in the Silla Dynasty. Pine (19), bamboo (14), laurel (12), and willow (12), which were captured by the writer’s eyes, show the ecological and cultural imagination of the time. The ecological and cultural imagination of Choi Chi-won's literature is summarized as follows. First, in the prose “Gyewon Pilgyeong” bamboo (12), pine (9), laurel(or cinnamon) (11), and willow (8) show rich ecological and cultural imagination. Pine trees, bamboo trees, and laurel trees symbolize fidelity in <Seojeon Jingyeong Sanggong>, <Sogu Sanggong>, and <The Part about pleading to Be Transferred to Jongsa-gwan>. The laurel tree of <Silla Tamhusa Park In-beom and Wonoe> shows the ecological and cultural imagination that symbolizes the talent of passing the official examination (Gwageo) and government service. Second, in the poem “Gyewon Pilgyeong”, pine trees and willow trees contain literary metaphors and ecological symbols. The pine tree in “Small Pine Tree on the Rock” shows the writer's feelings, used as an ecological and cultural symbol. The willow tree in “Reciting the Willow Tree of the Strait's Nervous Night”, “Thinking of the Past Under the Sea”, and “Responding to the Poems of Friends in the Country Pavilion on a Spring Day” appear as ecological and cultural symbols of human encounters and separation, seasonal changes and uselessness of world history. Third, the Sasan Monument and Buddhism-related bo trees (2), cherry trees (2), sal trees, and palm trees are rich in religious mystery and ecological and cultural imagination. The bo tree in <Daenanghye Yeonghwa Baekwol Bogwang Pagoda Remembrance> symbolizes the enlightenment of the Buddha. Palm trees and sal trees in <Jijeungdaesajeokjo Pagoda Remembrance> show Buddhist cultural mystery and ecological and cultural imagination. The laurel tree in “The Original Text of Hwaeomgyeong Association” is used as an ecological and cultural imagination of Buddhism through faith and the eternity of Seowon.
