辛亥革命時期 劉師培 「悲佃篇」의 譯註

Abstract

Liu Shi-Pei(劉師培) is a representative classical scholar and anarchist of the revolutionary camp of the Xinhai Revolution in China. He wrote a piece of writing, Bei-Dian-Pian(「悲佃篇」) deploring the misery of peasants’ lives. It was published in the party organ of Tong-Meng-Hui(同盟會), Min-Bao(『民報』), in July 1907 in the midst of a revolutionary at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Using his good knowledge on culture and heritage of the country, he sharply criticized the historical circumstances and opened the door into the possibility of anarchism with his spirit. Liu Shi-Pei, especially in a section of the Bei-Dian-Pian, provided an overview of China’s traditional land ownership system, bitterly criticized the evil effects of landowners’ ruling system, and further clarified the appropriateness of the peasant revolution by postulating that farmers should be the main agents of the movement. His theory and argument on the revolution was far more radical than those of any other revolutionists, up to and including Sun Wen(孫文). Domestic and foreign historians pay attention to the great historical significance of the Bei-Dian-Pian speak highly of its excellent quality. However, by thoroughly examining the part on Min-Bao, a significant number of mistakes are found in the original text; the misspelling of personal names, chapter titles of books, proper nouns, and even errors on historical facts. Rarely are the original misspellings and mistakes modified, although a lot of variety exists in the publications of Liu Shi-Pei’s Selected Masterpieces of Sentence that usually contain Bei-Dian-Pian. Though Zhu Wei-Zheng(周維錚), a Chinese scholar, corrected some sections with comments, it was done roughly, and the comments themselves can be misleading. Accordingly, I made an effort to check the original meticulously, compare the text with many other books to identify their authenticity, and attempt to grasp its genuine meaning. After correcting those errors, I translated the text into Korean.
