최초의 사행가사 <壯遊歌> 연구

Abstract

This study is for examining the characteristics of the first, existing Sahaeng Ga-sa <Jang-Yu-Ga>(1667). The experiences of the honored goings of envoys to Japan and China between which there is ten years' difference are joined logically and constructed as this work. First of all, I study the characteristics of the construction method. Then I study the mass consciousness of Japan and that of China those days in this work. Considering the consciousness of Japan, the admiration for their development is changed to the intention of uncovering the barbarity hidden in the other side. The criticism, however, is weakened according as the advance of the trip. And considering the consciousness of Chung, the fall of Myung dynasty, before everything, is frustrating. While they admire Chung for their development, the envoys who stick to be attired in Myung dynasty style are proud of themselves attracting public gaze. They deplore over the fall of Myung dynasty several times but their conviction in the probability of Myung dynasty's regaining Chinese territory appears quite lacking. Next, I compare <Jang-Yu-Ga> to Ilrok in order to examine the characteristics of the statement method in this work. It is common knowledge that Ilrok has much more detailed and substantial narratives off limits to rule and volume. However the result of comparison is that Ga-sa electively enlarges some parts among the detailed depictions and narratives written in Ilrok instead of omitting or briefly summerizing. The scene which doesn't happen in Ilrok happens in Ga-sa, where an excitement, as it is stirred, is expanded unlike the way it is depicted in Ilrok. This is because Ga-sa is not for listing and reporting the space time of trip in order. Ga-sa is taken shape using the magic of contracting space at some section and the technique of option and omission on the basis of what has happened while staying at some place for several days.
