상업출판물 칠언당음(七言唐音) 연구

Abstract

This paper identifies the reality of commercially published Chinese poetry anthologies and analyzes their contents and characteristics. With the goal of identifying one direction of Chinese poetry learning shared from the mid-to-late 19th century to the early 20th century, we focused on anthologies of Chinese poetry that were actively circulated during this period. Through a previous paper, we identified the list and characteristics of books in the ‘Oeondangeum(五言唐音)’ series, an anthology from the time of Oeonjeolgu(五言絶句), and this paper attempted to analyze the anthology at the time of Chireonjeolgu(七言絶句) as a follow up study. At the time of the commercial publication Chireonjeolgu, two types of anthology books were produced: 『Dangeumjeongseonchilreon(唐音精選七言)』 and 『Chireondangeum(七言唐音)』. These books were reissued by various publishers in the early 20th century and served as must reads and basic books for learning Chinese poetry for a long time. Then, in 1919, the printed version 『Jeungjeongjuhaechireondangeum(增訂註解七言唐音)』 appeared. This book was produced in a format that inherited the existing list of poems in the Chireondangeum series and added commentary. Finally, the Chireondangeum series of books were no longer published as commercial publications. In this paper, we checked the publication status of the Chireondangeum series of anthologies and looked at the content and characteristics of each book. Through this, we attempted to lay the foundation for understanding the existence of commercially published Chinese poetry anthologies.
