한국 고전문학에서 본 중국 산동과 강남의 체험과 인식

Abstract

The Koreans in traditional times had a narrow way to have first-hand experience of China, but in the period of historical change they had various unexpected ones in the situation of being envoies or refugees. This paper studied Korean comparative conciousness between Chinese Shan-Dong and Jiang-Nan through Korean experiment literatures in which they depicted experiences of envoy, captive, wandering, and drifting in the period of change between Yuan and Ming dynasty or Ming and Ching dynasty. Liao-Dong was a place in which Korea and China came into conflict or combination according to the arise of Nothern nomadic tribes. Also Shan-Dong was a communicative place in which Korean and Chinese were contacted by sea routes as Liao-Dong was blocked, and Shan-Dong people maintained close relaiotnship as became a Shan-Dong’s officer or soldier. On the contrary Jiang-Nan was a enviable place of Choson pepole. Altough they were difficult to have a official opportunity to experience the Southern and Nothern area of China at the same time in the stable period of Ching dynasty, sometimes experiment literature drew Choson literati’s interest, in which reflected the experience of drifting at Cheju-Island, passing the way at Jiang-Nan and Shan-Dong and Beijing and Lio-Dong, finally returnning Choson according to the purpose of Ching dynasty to relieve the ‘Babarian refugees’. In Korean classic literature the relative poverty and Confucian hometown of Shan-Dong were often depicted. While, faver and envy on the Jiang-Nan culture were frequantly represented to reinforce paranoidlly. But it was not unknown for the argumentative writers to dispute how much the literary-geograpical prejudice to infiltrate in the real experiences of China.
