한국 고시가의 강남 문학지리학

Abstract

I researched in this essay that literary-geography of Chinese Gangnam area was a significant factor on Korean old poetry, especially ones in nature(i.e. rivers and lakes) mode and in travel mode. I could recognize that this literary-geography was merely not common sense of Chinese classics but general frame of reference by which the Korean poets and singers represented their aesthetic sense in seclusion or taste for the arts to be contrasted with the secular value at a certain space time among Eastern Asia's civilization. First, on the poetry in nature mode, it is mainly with the <boatman's song> series and <eight landscapes in So-Sang River> sijos that I considered their conciousness about the rivers and lakes. These group of works enhanced a exotic atmosphere and pretended aesthetic sense in seclusion, taking reference to the literary-Geography of Gangnam which had built up around the Chang-Jiang(River) area. However, Hu Xiang's culture around mid-stream of Chang Jiang and Dong Wu's culture around the lower Chang Jiang were distinguished between their aestheic senses of sorrowful indignation and elegant appreciation for the arts. Of course there were ones which expressed their own time-space of the rivers and lakes without relying on the literary-geography of Gang Nam, the others which were proud of their own elegant appreciation for Eastern country's(=Korean) rivers and lakes through the contrast with the Gangnam. Second, on the poetry in travel mode, it is distinctive that the Yue Yang Pavilion was importantly applied. One work would like to relieve anxiety from the relation between nature(rivers and lakes) and politics and to approach to the idea of literary bureaucrat's class in Eastern Asia, projecting the spirit of Concern Before Pleasure After derived from <an account of the Yue Yang Pavilion> written by a ruler in Song danasty. The other works were willing to enjoy the amusement called 'sightseeing at the Yue Yang Pavilion' through a narrative pattern of dream journey and imagine. Especially the latter collected and rearranged various imformation about the exotic space based on the literary-geography of Gangnam, occasionally expressed ultimate emotion of the fun of being drunk. Literary-geography of Chinese Gangnam has offered a standard point of scenery, excitement, and ideology in the Korean old poetry. But all the more in adopting the contrast view with this, it is conspicuous that there were many trace to try to express the Eastern country's own rivers and lakes and the reality of writters. Especially it is remarkable that the works were developed to the direction to make the most vitality in the expression as Korean languge's poetry and in the ideological theme as literay bureaucrat's class.
