Abstract

This thesis is to aim at identifying the characteristics and meanings of the state examination stories in 『ParkSoChoneWha』. Lee DongYoon wrote many stories in 『ParkSoChoneWha』, including the experience of the state examination, the literary men in the same member, and documentary records, and transmission by mouth. There were the test subjects of the state examination, the method of examination, and the changes of examination system in 『ParkSoChoneWha』. Also, it introduced a variety of social customs that had something to do with HoeBangYeon, assembly meeting, SangJinGae, geomancy, and the state examination. These stories eventually helped us understand social culture about the state examination in that age. The leading characters in the story had good manners and abilities, but they were not historically famous people. It contributed to emerging the existence meaning. Also, Lee DongYoon illustrated a number of examination absurdity and the vice cases, which were stealing, drawing up the answering sheet by other people, and passing the examination dishonestly. Since these stories taught a good lesson to the following generation, this writing seemed to be highly evaluated. The state examination stories written by Lee DongYoon had very peculiar characters that couldn't be found in the earlier books. Compared to the stories by Yoon Gee, these stories included the diversity and epic stories. The state examination in 『ParkSoChone Wha』 had particularly good points in terms of revealing a way of life by the elite groups in Chosun Dynasty era.
