김선(金䥧)의 <주행백수(舟行百首)> 연구

Abstract

With the publication of 『Damjeong Series(藫庭叢書)』, researches related to the Damjeong group became active. The world of poetry and literature by Kim Ryeo's brother, Kim Seon(金䥧), is also being newly illuminated. Among Kim Seon's various literary works, I particularly paid attention to 100 poems written while riding a boat on the Han River titled “Juhaeng Baeksu(舟行百首)”. It is inferred that this work was created on his way to Yeoju before the major criminal case of Gangicheon(姜彝天) took place in 1797. At that time, Kim Ryeo(金鑢)'s brother-in-law Lee Woo-shin(李友信) and his friend Kim Geon-soon(金建淳), who had been martyred in 1801, were living in Yeoju. His journey started from Seoul to Yeoju and traveled by boat on the Han River for 4 to 5 days. In particular, he has created many poems in the area of Wolgye(月溪), Yanggeun(楊根), and Yeogang(驪江). The composition of the series of 100 poems is as follows. First, it vividly captures the waterway of the Han River, especially the experience of a boat going up dangerous rapids. Second, it is a refreshing description of the commercial water transport of the Han River that was active at the time. Third, it captures the lives of the people along the Han River and expresses the romance of a boat trip. Fourth, it reveals his own conflict over entering the office and sighes at the impermanence of life. “Juhaeng Baeksu” is travel poems on the Han River and poems of folklore along the Han River. The tradition of creating a series of 100 poems in the form of o-eonjeolgu(五言絶句) on the Han River waterway seems to have been transformed using Tang poet Jeongi(錢起)’s “Ganghaengmuje(江行無題)”. Examples include Kim Seon's poems and Jung Yak-yong(丁若鏞) and Shin Pil-young(申弼永)'s travel poems on the Han River.
