고전문학에 그려진 개성상인 형상 연구

Abstract

In this paper, I would like to examine the literary form of 'Gaesung merchant' drawn in classical literary texts. In Chapter 2, I examined the poetry and prose that the intellectuals had written about personality and personality merchants. Kim Si-tak (1713-1751) and Choi Soon-sung were descendants of the Gaesung merchants, and they were the ones who worked on scholarship and relief projects. As a merchant's son, Kim Si-tak was honored by the people, spreading scholarship and welfare projects for his relatives and communities while taking his academic path by putting his will in a higher world on the economic basis that his father had achieved. Choi Sun-seong was born in Yeongjo dynasty and died in the middle of the Jungjo dynasty. He collected tens of thousands of treasures from the family as a self-reliance of the Gaeseong rich, and provided a charity project called Geub-in-jeon. In Chapter 3, I reviewed one of Maewoldang Kim Si-seub's Geumo-sinhwa "Chwiyububyeogjeong-gi", ten books of historical stories, and some data of the early 20th century. The texts where the most common forms of Gaesung merchants are found in the historical stories such as Chung-gu-yadam and Maeonghanpil. In the story, the figure of the Gaesung merchant's married love, the realistic economic idea of the Gaesung merchant, and the merchant who supports poor intellectuals were drawn.
