Abstract

Text analysis and field surveys were conducted on eight types of “Chunhyangjeon” manuscripts in the Chungcheong area to examine the literary response of manuscripts. As a result for reviewing the eight manuscripts, the tradition of handwriting was continued for manuscripts, not for Banggak or typography. These works have been used as the texts of “Byoulchunhyangjeon” affiation for 13 years from 1909 to 1922. From the Gaehwagil(a period of transition to a modern society) to the Japanese colonial era, the tradition of writing “Chunhyangjeon” continued, but after that, it is thought that it changed from handwriting it to reading it. The scribes of “Chunhyangjeon” are mostly women (6 types). The predominance of female scribes is similar to that of Yeongnam, but it shows differences from Honam. “Chunhyangjeon” was transcribed during the rest of farming with concentration. This is because during the rest of farming, there was a time that women from poor sunbi families could learn Hangul. The transcription tradition and literary response reflect the regional culture of Chungcheong. First, the scribes from the Chungcheong region prefer the development of narrative centered stories and the characters of reading materials through the tradition of handwriting “Chunhyangjeon.” Second, the begining of the work shows the nature of the initial work that Yidoryeong appears first. The works with Confucian rewards for Chunhyang's chastity at the end are quite poor. Third, the part of Saranga(Love song) is shortened, but Ibyeoulga(farewell song) is expanded. It is highly likely that the women from Sunbi families have changed the text in the direction of reducing love and expangind farewell. Fourth, along with the interpretation of Chunhyang's dream in prison, there is a wealth of lamentation over the new life and the sexual desire of Bongsa(a blind man) who grops through Chunhyang's body. Fifth, Yi Mong-ryong's pass of the government examination has been reduced, while his performance as a secret royal inspector has been expanded. Nevertheless, the scribes in the Chungcheong region focuses on dramatic reunion between Yi Mong-ryong and Chunhyang without punishing Byun Hak-do. In the above, the tradition of handwriting “Chunhyangjeon” in the Chungcheong region and the literary response of the scribes are similar to that of the Yeongnam region, while they are different from that of the Honam region. Literary value can be given in that the universality and individuality of “Chunhyangjeon” are grasped.
