병와 이형상의 「荒服願戴歌」에 대한 소고

Abstract

This paper analyses Hwangbokwondaegha by Byungwa Lee Hyung Sang. Hwangbokwondaegha is a long poem with 134 paragraphs and 157 rhyming words that are composed to follow the rhyming words of Taklaga by Kim Jong-Chik, Woodoga by Kim Jeong and Tamla Poem of 135 verses by Choi Bu. While Hwangbokwondaegha is presented only in Namgwanpakmul, it has not been known to the academic circle so far. This paper looks into the literary status of this work focusing upon its forms and contents. This paper deals with Taklaga, Woodoga and Tamla Poem of 35 verses. Through the analysis of these poems, I found out that numerous people have shown interest in poems that talk about Jeju. Hwangbokwondaegha can be divided into the former part and the latter one. The former discussed the general aspects of Jeju. The latter included what Byungwa saw and felt himself, which is the core of this poem. I examined the latter part by categorizing it into the contents that are: <wholehearted care and attention towards poverty stricken Jeju people>, <enlightening policies of King and changes observed in people>, and <abolition of Jeju shamanism rituals and the life-world afterwards>. In particular, I discovered Byungwa’s consciousness most from the part of the abolition of Jeju shamanism rituals. In Hwangbokwondaegha, Byungwa Lee Hyung Sang put together the previous literal achievement and reinterpreted Jeju drawing upon his own perspective. The contents of the poem can be said to represent Namwhanbakmul literally. Such creation style is found nowhere in Jeju related literary works. Through poem, Byungwa aimed to study Jeju, to express synthetically Jeju as experienced himself and Jeju as seen as mokmingwon. In this regard, Hwangbokwondaegha can be considered as a work that was intensively planned and constructed. Byungwa reflected upon his role as governor(Mokmingwan) through Hwangbokwondaegha and further aimed to transform the folk of Jeju deep rooted in shamanism into confucius civilization. This action is of course open for a controversy but his effort for Jeju people should be highly evaluated.
