김윤식과 스에마쓰겐초의 시문 수창에 대하여

Abstract

Unyang(雲養) Kim Yun-sik(金允植, 1835～1922) was a political and representative writer of the last generation of Chinese Literature, so researchers have studied on his works and his collection literary works Unyangjip(『雲養集』) has been translated recently at last. However we should focus on his aspect of Pro-Japanese through Unyangjip to deepen his works. This paper examines patterns and significance of poetry exchange from the works of Kim Yun-sik and Suematsu Kenchō(末松謙澄, 1855〜1920) whom they interacted with each other frequently. The results of the study show that their poetry exchange is very friendly but had some disagreements in an in-depth level. While Kim Yun-sik emphasized Confucian way such as “Wee-min(爲民)” and “An-min(安民)”, Suematsu Kenchō enforced Kim Yun-sik to acknowledge the superior status of Japan, stressing the “great power” and “current state of things.” This conflict was not explicit, but this may cause them to separate from each other even though Suematsu Kenchō helped Kim Yun-sik receive the Japan Academy Prize. As in Suematsu Kenchō, he insisted that he had succeeded tradition of Chinese literature with a long history in East Asia. But he had a desire for Asia where Japan was the new center, and it resulted in a sign of the Greater East Asia Co- Prosperity Sphere. In the case of Kim Yun-sik, It seemed that he demanded Choseon independence from Japanese authorities under the Korean independence movement based on Confucianism.
