韓ㆍ中 日記體 遊山記 문학의 한 비교 − 金宗直의 <遊頭流錄>과 宋濂의 <游鐘山記>의 경우 −

Abstract

So far, the comparative study between Korean and Chinese travel literature had been conducted mainly focused on the late Choson dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty’s author and their works. In the field of comparative studies, it has been mainly reviewed in the aspect of impact relationships with China and the adaptation of Chinese work of literature, but it lacks full-scale analytical study on the works itself. In this paper, I analyzed the structure of the travel notes of hills during Choson Dynasty and the early times of Ming Dynasty when both Korea and China’s travelogues had advanced the most, by comparing <Yuduryurok>, written by a civil official in the early Choson Dynasty named Kim Jongjik, and <Yujongsangi>, written by a civil official in the late Yuan and the early Ming dynasty named Song Lian. Furthermore, I reviewed the similarities and differences between the two writer’s psyches that are shown in the works. Both the two pieces are travel notes of hills that are written in the form of diary style and begin with introducing the party and the motives for traveling the hills in a structural aspect. It is followed by the course of the travel also written in the form of diary style, and it describes five days of travel in the case of <Yuduryurok> while three days in <Yujongsangi>. Closing the descriptions of travel processes, both two works added a travel review as a postscript and spoke out of their personal feelings. Likewise, the two works show many structural similarities. When it comes to the content aspect, however, I was able to find where the works’ description placed emphasis on and the human psyche it aimed for are quite different. While <Yujongsangi> puts emphasis on the folklores and historical events, or human landscape of various cultural relics of Zhong Zhongshan rather than Zhongshan itself, <Yuduryurok> is mainly composed of detailed descriptions of natural sceneries and Kim Jongjik used rhetoric like metaphors and parallelisms in it. In addition, <Yuduryurok> looks through the aspects of how Kim Jongjik revealed the responsibility as a local magistrate and the will to go into the society to awaken the people. In contrast, <Yujongsangi> reveals Song Lian’s longing for living in seclusion and the determination to retire from the world which is due to Song Lian’s experience of secluded life and the influence of Buddhism and Taoism on him.
