한국 고전 속 조강祖江의 문학적 이미지와 「용궁부연록」

Abstract

This article can be called the literary history of Jo-River. Located at the point where the Han River, Imjin River and Yeseong River merge, the Jo River that leads to the sea is an important historical and military hub. It is also a river that divides between the capital of Goryeo and Joseon, and forms the border between South and North. In addition, Jo-River is a place of literary significance. Th is is because it is a literary space that produced a variety of works, from the bu(賦) of Lee Gyu-bo in the Goryeo Dynasty to Joseon novel and modern tales. Jo-River’s literary image extends to reflection and healing on personal life, empathy and communication with social community, and historical perspective. Through 「Jogangbu(祖江賦)」 by Lee Gyubo, 「Haengdojogang-Yujak(行到祖江有作)」 by Baekwonhang, 「Dojogang」 by Seonghyun, 「Beomjoganghoe」 by Jung Doo-kyung(泛祖江懷李 文順公)」, 「Joganghaeng」 by Shin Yoohan, Jo-River’s literary image can be confirmed. Kimsisup’s 「Yonggung puyÓnnok」 embodies the image of communication between the heavens and the earth, encompassing the literary image of the former Jo-River. It leads to the story of a lover who was then divided into North and South. Th e future of Jo-River’s narrative will be how to write the story of longing for the person who broke up with Jo-River in between.
