한중(韓中) 인물기사(人物記事)의 한 국면(局面)-‘난리’를 기사화한 정약용(丁若鏞)과 모기령(毛奇齡)의 경우-

Abstract

The thesis performs a comparative examination of the historical writings on the incidents that jolted the contemporary society, particularly the distinctive ones by Jeong Yak-yong whose pen name was Dasan and those by Mao Qiling who lived in the late period of Ming Dynasty and in the early period of Qing Dynasty, and elucidates their aspects. And this is intended to grasp the total configuration and significance of the historical descriptions of which the details have yet to be verified. The comparative examination with the Chinese case is designed to ensure a more objective view of the historical descriptions of the incidents that took place in Korea. The historical writings by Mao Qiling focused on featuring the loyalty to the monarch and to parents that revealed itself through the contemporary wartime upheavals. Also, opinions were rarely presented on incidents in the writings, while a factual description of the incidents was provided. Dasan's historical writings include details about Shinyu Saok ('Heresy Case in Shinyu Year of 1801') that he experienced and personages that he came to know through the incidents derived from it, and they are pierced by 'slander', 'false accusation', and 'distress from innocence'. Furthermore, the center of gravity is placed not on the incident itself but on its cause, through which new light was brought on the incident that entirely changed his life, to reveal its hidden side. Both authorships are vivid recordings of incidents that derived from respective contemporary social issues and include writings mos of which don't reveal opinions. On the other hand, while Mao Qiling's writings were backgrounded by his experience of 'wartime upheavals' which could be either directly or indirectly related to the author, Jeong Yak-yong wrote about things that proliferated from what he was personally involved in. Furthermore, while Mao's purpose lay in presenting incidents, Jeong put his focus on narrating his case by revealing incidents. Accordingly, their descriptions are seen as diverging.
