『북정록』에 나타난 서거정의 사행(使行) 경험과 훈구 문학의 고고학적 탐구

Abstract

Seo Geo-jeong(徐居正) contributed to laying the cultural groundwork for the incorporation of the Joseon Dynasty into the medieval East Asian order based on Confucian civilization. He compiled 『Bukjeongrok(北征錄)』, the collected poems which he wrote during his diplomatic traveling to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy. This book contains records of Seo’s corresponding poems with various figures. He forged friendships with an envoy from Annamguk(安南國 present Vietnam), a Chinese intellectual with the status of Jinsa and others. By analyzing these poems, this paper found that Seo Geo-jeong had the literary tendencies of Tu Fu(杜甫). This shows that Tu Fu emerged as a new literary model in the Joseon Dynasty, while still maintaining the influence of Su Dongpo(蘇東坡) prevailing in the Goryeo Dynasty. This paper also examines the poems in Seo’s collection which were exchanged with delegates from Japan and Yugu, and tries to figure out which differences exist compared to those of 『Bukjeongrok』. With the intellectuals from the Ming Dynasty or the envoys from Annamguk, Seo Geo-jeong created works based on the poems of Tu Fu, as well as the writings that supported the East Asian order centered on the Ming Dynasty. As for the Japanese, he mainly exchanged works that depicted personal emotions beautifully with ordinary and plain expressions. He implicitly suggested the hierarchy of ‘China – Joseon – Annam and Yugu – Japan’, and, as an intellectual and writer of Hungu, he showed his perspective of securing the establishment of the Joseon Dynasty through this order.
