자하 신위 「동인논시절구(東人論詩絶句)」의 문학사적 의의

Abstract

The greatest influence on the creation of Chosŏn’s poems on poetry was Wang Shizhen. His Thirty-two Quatrains Written in Playful Imitation of Yuan Haowen’s “Discussing Poetry” attracted the attention of Chosŏn poets as Kim Sang-hŏn’s poetry appeared in it. Yi Dŏk-mu’s poems on poetry were an early version of Wang’s form. It depicted poems on poetry by Qing and Chosŏn poets serially, and additionally pre-Koryŏ poets were historically evaluated in the form of poems on poetry. Sin Wi’s poems on poetry embraced Wang’s form even more so, and evaluated Chosŏn’s poets in historical sequence along with the development of Chosŏn poetry. Sin refined and arranged the previous fragmented “remarks on poetry” of Chosŏn poems according to his historical views. It was also different in that it showed individual poets through poems on poetry. His historical criticism also influenced the literary historical narrative of a later scholar, Kim T’ae-jun. In A History of Chosŏn Classical Chinese Literature, the headings under “Four Masters of Poetry” and “The Jiangxi School of Poetry in Chosŏn” contain Sin’s criticisms. The influence of Sin’s Quatrains on other poems on poetry and historical evaluation of poetry continued into the modern era.
