조선의 출판과 관련된 국왕의 시문 연구

Abstract

The Chosun Dynasty adopted civil administration and, for this, it made great efforts to collect, compile, publish and maintain books, paintings and calligraphic works, and the kings were deeply involved in the compilation of books, paintings and calligraphic works and exerted academic influence to some degree during their reigns. Furthermore, the kings ordered their subjects to compile books, paintings and calligraphic works, and at the same time, elucidated the significance of the compilation by writing on some books, paintings and calligraphic works by themselves. Historical materials such as Silrok(實錄) and Seungjeongwonilgi(承政院日記) were mostly recorded in the form of excerpt. Accordingly, Yeolseongeoje(列聖御製) is a useful material for investigating how books, paintings and calligraphic works were collected, compiled, and published in the Chosun Dynasty. Thus, this study examined articles in Yeolseongeoje(列聖御製) written by Chosun kings including Sejo, Seonjo, Sukjong, Yeongjo, Jeongjo, Ikjong, Heonjong and Cheoljong in connection to the compilation or publication of books, paintings and calligraphic works. In addition, these writings were grouped into three categories: those for extolling preceding kings and strengthening royal sovereignty; those for praising loyal subjects and promoting faithful relationship with the Ming Dynasty; and those for promoting learning and expressing literal and artistic tastes. According to the results of this study, books, paintings and calligraphic works were compiled and published for various purposes in the Chosun Dynasty, but ultimately, they were closely related with the reinforcement of royal sovereignty.
