Abstract

Cheongun story is a important form of literature in middle Joseon, which is personified human mind. Cheongunjeon of Kim U-Ong and Suseongji of Lim Je reflect distinct features of Youngnam and Honam literature. In this study, contrasting characteristics on motivation, narrative structure, conflict aspect, characters' features and theme are found between two stories with researching background of invention of Cheongun story. Kim U-Ong, a famous Neo-Confucian scholar, turned the picture of his mentor Jo Sik's Sinmyeongsado into Cheongunjeon story with imagery. In Cheongunjeon, Insim refered to Confucian mentality and Dosim to morality are personified as each loyal and rebellious subject. With characters' conflict, the writer considered nature meditation to a mean of statecraft and public education. On the contrary, Lim Je of wrote Suseongji to satirize his political dissatisfaction and absurd reality and to express his own opinion as a confucian scholar and a brilliant novelist. Suseongji has double structure, a conflict between loyal and rebellion subject with mental meditation is a inner subject and training of the mind and reconciliation with conflict contributor are inherent as a outer subject. That means a presentation of the problem which cannot be settled with Insim-Dosim theory from Simgyeong Cheongunjeon reflects mental meditation from Ju-ri Theory and answers the tendency of Youngnam literature as well, meanwhile, Suseongji reveals inclination of Honam literature representing a phenomenon from an aspect of Ju-gi Theory.
