芝山 曺好益의 賦에 나타난 苦痛과 그 治癒方式

Abstract

The collection of Jisan's work contains two Bus in Volume 1. One of them is Seojeongbu, which depicts the process from the beginning of his exile to his arrival at the place of exile. The other Bu work, Yugeobu, records how he felt about his life in exile. This study makes an attempt to examine his suffering, his methods of healing, and their mechanisms based on his two Bu works. Jisan's Bus are considered as Sulhoi Bus rather than Gwache Bus or Dohak Bus as they depict the process of his self-examination and healing based on the life he experienced. Seojeongbu shows how he overcame and healed his pain during its continuation, and Yugeobu depicts his pain in the healing process. Jisan took different measures for different types of pain in his Bu works. He digested the pain of his unfair victimization internally and overcame it through patience. He overcame the pain of parting through the consolation and encouragement from the one that left him. He overcame the pain he suffered in daily life with his cultivated Confucian thinking. At the bottom of these measures was his lesson that a moralist should practice benevolence and never be ashamed of his life of integrity. Another mechanism he adopted was self-development and revelation through writing. He poured out his natural and universal feelings as a human being without filter, thus reaching the state of self-healing. Expressing his thoughts and feelings through this type of writing style allowed him to discover himself through recollection, heal through revelation, and have an instructive acceptance. The present study offers a chance to reexamine the literary status of Bu and holds significance as an opportunity to find its implications for the connections between thoughts and literature in today's writing.
