『무경집문고(無竟集文稿)』의 변려문과 역사성 -사적사(事蹟詞)를 중심으로-

Abstract

The Buddhist monk Mugyung Jasu(無竟子秀), who lived in the late 17th century to the first half of the 18th century in the south of Joseon, gave positive values to literary which help to preserve and examine the spirit. The contents of his literary are characterized by its emphasis on historical facts. Interest in historical facts is highlighted in the style of ‘sajeoksa(事蹟詞)’ that is unique to Mugyungjipmungo(無竟集文稿). Much of the content is the same as the ki(記), but the title ‘～sajeoksa’ rather than ‘～ki’ is meant to stress historical facts. Other monks in Joseon didn't write on historical facts by pianliwen(騈儷文). The historical interest in the temple became prevalent in the 18th century, and Mugyung is believed to have led the trend following Seolam Chubung(雪巖秋鵬). Mugyungjipmungo has a lot of expressions of distich and especially in the case of sajeoksa, many writings are composed entirely of distich. Mugyung frequently used the writings of Wang Jwa(王屮) and Wang Bal(王勃), and Choi Chiwon(崔致遠) when he wrote the pianliwen. From the fact that the writings of Wangjwa can not be easily found in the writings of other monks, we can assume the wide reading category of Mugyung.
