용아 박용철의 금강산 기행 시조 연구

Abstract

This study aims at Geumgangsan mountain travel by Yong-a Park Yongchul who represents simunhakpa. The part where he focused on forming the simunhakpa was to establish the independent value of the poem. This reflects his attitude that viewed the combination of literature and ideology from a critical point of view. It is an interesting point that he created Sijo based on the experience of traveling to Mount Kumgang in the 1920s. As it is known, the Japanese imperialism has implemented policies to destroy the ethnicity and culture of Joseon in various ways, so there was a movement to protect the territory, history, culture and language of Joseon. In this process, it gave symbolic meaning to Geumgangsan mountain and put it in Sijo, the regular poet of Joseon. The relationship between Geumgangsan mountain and Sijo was a material with considerable intimacy in terms of the combination of literature and ideology. Therefore, most of the sijos created with Geumgangsan mountain were aimed at inspiring national consciousness by revealing their desire for visiting Geumgangsan mountain or by highlighting the sublime and sacredness of Geumgangsan mountain. But Park Yong-cheol’s approach was different from the beginning: he did not seek a long history at Geumgangsan mountain or intentionally give it any special meaning. The most distinctive part of his Geumgangsan mountain travel Sijo is two main parts. One is that the word mind frequently appears, and the other is that it uses the personal pronoun called you (Nim). Through this, he has been able to solve his inner self by forming the relationship with the object closely. Park Yong-cheol had a lot of difficulties when traveling to Geumgangsan mountain due to his bad health. Despite these difficulties, he visited the area of Birobong and recognized Geumgangsan mountain as a space to heal his physical pain and inner distress. Park Yong-cheol advocated pure lyric poetry that captures the experiences and feelings of the poet, so this part is naturally reflected when creating the poetry of the Geumgangsan mountain. The discussion of this study is meaningful in that it can be seen that the poet who pursued pure lyric poetry on behalf of the simunhakpa can take the aspect of putting Geumgangsan mountain into Sijo.
