沆瀣 洪吉周의 「常氏宗族傳」 연구－孔方傳類 假傳의 전통과 연계하여－

Abstract

Influenced by Gongbangjeon by Lim, Chun, the Family Story of Sang written by Hang-hae was created prior to Jeonsinjeon by Kim, Man-jin. Until recently only Gongbangjeon by Lim, Chun, Jeonsinjeon by Kim, Man-jin and Gongbangjeon by Jo, Kyu-chul have been known as works about money, this paper has confirmed that the Family Story of Sang by Hang-hae had followed up the tradition. In some of view points, the Family Story of Sang by Hang-hae shows differences comparing the other three works. Due to the literary and social outlook of Hang-hea, those features enrich the extension of Gongbangjeon series. The work of Hang-hea is not about ‘Gongbang’, the popular name of ancient Chinese coins, but about ‘Snagpyuntongbo’ the currency actively circulated in the late of Chosun Dynasty. Also Hang-hea had not chosen the china but the Chosun as apace and time setting of his work, so we can realize that he had strong interest about korean literature, history, and art. Although the Family Story of Sang keep up the general form of prior works, it achieves totally different sense of art, using more explanatory style than such narrative form as other prior works. Additionally, its explanatory style was proved to be very effective, because the work had made critical focus on management of money which is such of duplicity and strong spreading, instead of critique focused on characters liken to money. Also, the sense of Hang-hea, trying to reform the actual state by the straight way, communicates his early literary view to create a work cultivating his moral sense. Mentioned all above, the Family Story of Sang by Hang-hae can be a very important work succeeded to many of Gongbangjeons, prior works about money, as well as a representative one effectively embodying writter's literary and social outlook.
