Abstract

SooRyoungDam in unofficial history collection was not only a real story but also a fiction interpreted and grasped from a literary standpoint, in which Soo Ryoung appeared as the target of a rumor and a topic. It tried to show public people's life and greed, governmental officials' inclination in local areas, and learned men’s view towards politics. SooRyoung stories related to a public throng are divided into a positive story and a negative one. SooRyoung with a negative mind was greedy and incompetent. Greedy SooRyoung was a kind of thief to get as many offerings as possible and finally retire with a big haul, a satirized glutton whose greed was so extreme as to become a voracious eater, and also a murderer with a desire for power to be increased by ambitious greed by regarding people’s life as a fly’s to heighten his social position. Stories to deal with incompetent SooRyoung were so diverse. There were SooRyoung to enjoy only delicious food without any pursuit and SooRyoung to unable to write declarative sentences to execute his judgement. Stories about them only were satires about a fool. Negative SooRoung stories were thought to criticize unafair political polishes, certifying that they were elected based on injustice and unfair power, even though they possibly roled as people’s parents. Whereas positive real stories about excellent SooRyoung think of public people as parents, fictional ridiculous stories about SooRyung even try to deal with civil petitions and solve people's anxieties and predicaments at a stroke. The real value of SooRyoung, however, can be confirmed in a trial to set tle people's undeserved accusation by taking their petition into delicate consideration. Such value is in the peak when settling stories pursue to solve a dead man’s grudge, which is important in that people are abe to live when solving a dead man’s grudge. It is meaning that SooRyoung to the post of a local official had a intimate bond with Ahjeon grasp local conditions easily. So some SooRyoungDams related to Ahjeon. Both are seen to be either in conflict or in combination. In SooRyoungDam about the combination between Soo Ryoung and a Ahjeon, a Ahjeon unilaterally obeys Soo Ryoung's unfair requests and, as the result of it, disgrace themselves in public. On the other hand, there is a story in which they were punished for their illegal behaviors in the bond with SooRyoung. When the relation of SooRyoung to a Ahjeon was broken down, SooRyung betrayed a deputy and deputy also revenged Soo Ryoung, which dramatically completed a fierce descriptive play. This combination-related Soo Ryoung Dam clarified ugliness and danger that their political and immoral bond causes. A conflict-related SooRyungDam is diverse from a story to enable us to ridiculously smile to a story to give one of them a mortal blow. But a ridiculous ‘betting’ between SooRyoung and a Ahjeon is referred to as their victory and defeat. In the story of a wry deputy to ridicule silly SooRyoung, there seems to be a acute warning about the danger that their reversed status brings about. The more literary fiction a story depends upon, the more multilateral its implication may be.
