김시습의 호남기행과 문학창작의 현장

Abstract

<Honam-Gihaeng>of Kim Si Seup is an opportunity to reconfirm intellectuals' integrity and to release resentments and shocks by usurpation of Sejo. In <Honam-Gihaeng> his friends and scholars who sympathized with Kim Si Seup's opinion criticized usurpation of Sejo. They, however, didn't mention a confucian cause in it. It might be because they were helped by people who cooperated with Sejo. <Honam-Gihaeng> has a diversity of contents such as Buddhism culture, history, ecology and so on. A Buddhism culture trip shows the transience of life. A history trip supports the historical fall of Hubaekje and the righteousness of Goryeo. In a trip for refined tastes Kim Si Seup appreciated beauty of scenery of mountains and rivers. In an ecological culture trip he reflected his integrity through fine trees and orchids. <Songgwang Temple>, <Geumsan Temple>, <Neungga Temple> and <Manbok Temple> are important as the places of literature creation. In <Songgwang Temple>, he shows his interest on popular Buddhism. He criticized immorality of usurpation severely in <Geumsan Temple>. He practiced Shinseon skills through eating raw in <Neungga Temple>. <Manbok Temple> is the background of <Manboksajeopogi>. These remarkable places shows his life as an outsider and changes of his thoughts.
