병와 이형상의 <傖父詞> 연구

Abstract

This thesis investigated the literary characteristics of Changbusa and figured out how the author's opinion of the music and the poetry was reflected in his own poetic work. Changbusa was modeled on the previous poems such as Eobuga and Dosansibigok while it reflected its author's reality and recreated the tradition of the vernacular literature. Changbusa represented the reality of the author, Lee Hyoungsang, who quit office and decided to live as a scholar. It also reinvented the structural characteristics of a previous poetic genre, gyoungichega, and it used in a new way the poetic devices of Eobuga such as the refrain and the jibgu, a method of composing a poem through compiling existing poetic verses. In Changbusa, the theme of each stanza was highlighted by sensical refrains instead of nonsense one, and its meaning was enriched by the jibgu phrases. In these respects, this thesis concluded that Changbusa is not an imitation of the previous poems but the outcome of recreating the tradition of the vernacular poetry, based on Lee Hyoungsang's broad understanding of the vernacular poetic tradition. Changbusa was a realization of Lee Hyoungsang's notion of the music and the poetry, which pursued the classical ideal as well as the reality of the time.
