이숭인의 挽詩類 작품에 나타난 죽음의 형상화와 미적 특질

Abstract

Mansi(挽詩) belongs to dramatic and emotional field in Chinese poetry. Because Mansi handles the subject of human death. Indeed death is the most important moment in one's lifetime. Death means an eternal farewell to the dead. Mansi is a song about bidding the last farewell to someone you love, so it can't help but be dramatic, emotional, and surging. The tradition of Mansi creation begins with Kimbusik in Korean traditional literary history. Writing Mansi had become a custom for paying one's respects to the souls of the dead since Kimbusik. During late Korean dynasty such a phenomenon had been getting richer and richer. Mansi, the poem dealing with death is very subjective. Because this is involved with personal feelings. But death is common human problem, so Mansi is also objective. Like this, the poem about death such as Mansi is subjective and objective at the same time. For that reason, Mansi is attractive and worth studying. The focus of this paper is on Doeun-Leesungin's Mansi. Leesungin is a lyric poet who represent the late Korean dynasty. <Doeunjib> is a collection of poems written by Leesungin. In this book, 19 pieces of Mansi are carried. Among them, 10 pieces of Mansi are Oeunyulsi. The number of Mansi written by Leesungin is less than the number of the other poet's Mansi. But the quality of Mansi written by Leesungin is the best. Leesungin wrote Mansi only when he felt very sorry for a person's death. This is the reason why Mansi written by Leesungin is small in number but full of lyricism. Some poets in Chosun dynasty succeed Leesungin's Mansi. The tradition of Mansi creation can be made through such process in Korean traditional literary history.
