박지원의(朴趾源)의 <일신수필(馹汛隨筆)>에 대한 구조적 이해－중국 인식과 연계하여－

Abstract

This paper explores a type of literary intellectuals’ consciousness toward China in the late Joseon dynasty through the mediation of Yeonhaengrok. This paper focuses on Ilsinsuphil written by Park Jiwon as a main analysis text. As this text deals with the discussion of what to learn and how to learn in China in great detail it allows us to study one perception of China in the late Joseon period. However, not only are the discussions in the introduction in consistent, the relationship between the introduction and Ilsinsuphil has not been properly revealed. Therefore, the details of what and how Park Jiwon was trying to learn in China are not clearly revealed. In this paper, we review previous research and re-read Ilsinsuphilseo. To obtain the results, we looked at the relationship not only with Ilsinsuphil but also with Yeolhailgi. Park Jiwon tried to create a magnificent spectacle of the Chinese, that is, the Chinese system through the introduction. This paper confirms that he emphasized the necessity of overcoming the limits of Gujihak(口耳之學) : he does not look deeply into what he hears through his ears; he only conveys it to others through his mouth, and cannot make it his own at all) and Jeongryang(情量), unlike other scholars of the Joseon dynasty. Furthermore, it is possible to state that Ilsinsuphil and Yeolhailgi were composed according to the purpose and method suggested in this introduction. This paper describes what Park Jiwon saw and heard, centering on daily records, and summarizing things affected by Jeongryang (情量) in the new formats. This paper confirms that the direction of Jeongryang(情量) was supportive of China’s government, that is, China’s unique law and system. The introduction, daily records and other records of Park Jiwon’s Ilsinsuphil are texts that show one type of literary intellectuals’ consciousness toward China in the late Joseon dynasty. Among them, the introduction serves as the basis for the composition and description both Ilsinsuphil and Yeolhailgi; therefore it is necessary to newly evaluate the introduction of Ilsinsuphil, which wholly permeates Yeolhailgi.
