<천수석>에 구현된 국가의 존망과 가문의 존재 양상

Abstract

Cheonsuseok is a work that reveals a tragic perception of reality while utilizing the special historical background of the late Tang Dynasty, and has been referred to as an unusual work among Korean classical novels. Although it is rare to borrow the background of the period at the end of the year, unlike other Korean classical novels centered on the prosperity of the family, Cheonsuseok contains the decline of the state and family. Therefore, this paper focused on this specificity and examined the existence of the state and the family in Cheonsuseok. Cheonsuseok. is about the process of prosperity and decline of the family who joined the nation and fate, centering on the real characters, Wi Bo-hyung and Wi family. It is to establish a structure in which Wi family, who was a retired family, shares fate with the Tang royal family through marriage with Princess Dongchang, preserves his reputation through the Later Party when the party collapsed, and returns to the retired family. And in the midst of this, the work actively utilizes Lee Kuk-yong and Princess Dongchang, inheriting the prestige of the stomach, while also securing the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the later Tang Dynasty. This shows the awareness of how the family can survive in difficult times at the family level, and it can be said that it reveals an attempt to newly understand macroscopic history in the literary category at the national level. It can be seen as the result of literary imagination to understand the macroscopic flow of history through the changes experienced by a family. This orientation of Cheonsuseok is problematic in that it internally emphasizes the sense of problem with the family's survival method and externally reflects on the relationship between Korean classical novels and historical backgrounds. Unlike staying in "virtual history" or marginalizing historical events while using the past in which a considerable number of Korean classical novels exist, Cheonsuseok leads the overall story as the background of the times influences the work. Sometimes crossing the boundaries between fiction and facts, vividly describing the great event of the collapse of the state from the standpoint of a family. This can be said to be an experimental narrative about the work imagining the empty space of history on its own and what choices the family can make when the state collapses. In this respect, Cheonsuseok can be said to be a significant work in the history of novels in reviewing the way history is used within the complaint theory as well as the problem consciousness of the family's survival method.
