Abstract

This paper presents an introduction and examination of "Yeochanggayorok" of the Yang Seung-min version that had been newly excavated. The Yang Seung-min version of "Yeochanggayorok" was an anthology transcribed and provided by Master Woongok to a Gyeonggi gisaeng called Maiden Hakseon in 1853. It is an early version that is the oldest of the different remaining versions of "Yeochanggayorok." Since it was published before 1853 at the latest, it offers important materials to show the early formation process of "Gagokwonryu."First, the Yang Seung-min version of "Yeochanggayorok" is widely equipped with the formal framework of "Gagokwonryu" and accordingly another version of its in spite of the fact that it was published with a focus on Yeochang. Second, it is estimated that Park Hyo-gwan himself compiled and transcribed the Yang Seung-min version and published it in 1853. Such Yeochang-centric anthologies as the version must have been published before the completion of "Gagokwonryu" and in vogue around gisaengs' saloons. Third, the version claims its worth as a material to advance the formation time of "Gagokwonryu" to the former half of the 19th century at the latest. The discovery of this early version of "Yeochanggayorok" made it possible to conduct concrete research on the aspects of "Gagokwonryu" themselves during its formation period. Finally, it is estimated that the anthology of "Gagokwonryu" was not completed at a time but went through various gradual formation processes in the middle of the movements of Gadan in the 19th century. As a matter of fact, there was no certain complete version of "Gagokwonryu"; instead, its versions of many different forms were widely distributed according to the demands of the times and situations those days.
