<황강구곡가>의 구성적 특징과 작가의식 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to organically grasp the composition of Kwon Seop’s poem Hwangganggugokga [nine songs about the Hwang river] and to investigate the writer’s consciousness reflected in it. Furthermore, this study attempted to reconsider the meaning of the creation of Hwangganggugokga. Except for the opening sijo, the 10 sijo in Hwangganggugokga is divided into three sections: ① 1-3, ② 4-6, and ③ 7-9. ① It shows the consciousness to continue the academic line that has continued from the past while also realizing the place where Kwon Sang-ha’s traces remain. ② In the process of exploring the Hwanggang, the poet forms a special relationship with nature and expresses a sense of unity with it. ③ The poet’s satisfaction and permanence of space while living in the Hwanggang area are emphasized. Overall, Hwangganggugokga shifts the focus of the work from past heritage to present emotions, and back again to the expectation of the future as 10 sijo unfolds. The organic composition of Hwangganggugokga is a major literary character of the work in that it has a typical aesthetic of a yeonsijo. Next, this paper examined the meaning of the creation of Hwangganggugokga. Hwangganggugokga was created more than 30 years after Kwon Seop lived in Hwanggang. For the Kwon Seop of this period, the Hwanggang was the base where the family’s succession was inherited and the place he had lived and felt attached to for a long time. Therefore, the creation of Hwangganggugokga was a process of internally integrating responsibility for the family evoked by Hwanggang, as well as personal satisfaction with the space. Hwangganggugokga implies the expectation that the academic line leading to Kwon Sang-ha will continue through Kwon Seop himself, and this process is related to the organic composition of the work. Through the discussion in this paper, Hwangganggugokga should be re-examined as a literary work that embodies the artist’s inner movement related to Hwanggang through the form of yeonsijo.
