한글연행록의 수집 현황과 활용 방안

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the current status of Hangul Yeonhaengrok(燕行錄) materials collected up until now in collaborative research on Hangul Yeonhaengrok and what to be dealt with and how to use them afterwards. Yeonhaengrok materials have been constantly discovered and released by Im Gi-jung, So Jae-young, Kim Tae-jun, Choi Gang-hyeon, Jo Gyu-ik, Daedong Institute of Korean Studies, and other individual researchers. Based on that, a lot of study results of up to 200 theses have been submitted so far. Most of the research has focused on Chinese character-edition Yeonhaengrok to figure out the meaning of yeonhaeng, history of culture and history of exchange between the two countries found in Yeonhaengrok, aspects of experience in China through yeonhaeng, performing art found in Yeonhaengrok, and also the characteristics of Yeonhaengrok written by Bukhakpa(北學派) including Pak Ji-won(朴趾源). Also, lately, research on Yeonhaengrok conducted by academic circles in China and Japan is being added as well. There have been a lot of study results on Yeonhaengrok, but unfortunately, not much research on ‘Hangul Yeonhaengrok’ has been performed yet. Among the Hangul Yeonhaengrok, aside from Kim Chang-eop’s 『Yeonhaengilgi』, Hong Dae-yong’s 『Eulbyeong Yeonhaengrok』, and Pak Ji-won’s 『Yeolhailgi』, the rest have hardly been studied so far. Research on Hangul Yeonhaengrok is not enough like that because the materials discovered are few, and above all, it has not been fully discussed how to analyze and study those materials. Noticing such problems of ‘Hangul Yeonhaengrok’, this author studied the current status of Hangul Yeonhaengrok existing in both Korean and overseas institutions and libraries. As a result, this researcher has found there are Hangul Yeonhaengrok materials not yet introduced to academic circles and also how to deal with those materials afterwards. This study is going to handle the contents. First, this author will present the materials that have been secured and also how to study and utilize those materials afterwards especially in terms of history of classical literature, history of oral literature, or history of Korean.
