<열녀춘향수절가> 구성의 주역적 원리 연구

Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand “The Faithfulness Story of Virtuous Woman, Chun-hyang”, which is the Wanpan(完板) Woodblock Edition of Chunhangjun, and to find a method of the exposition in the thinking system of the Book of Change(周易). First of all, I identified that the meaning of Chun-hyang Seong and Mong-Rowong Lee, the names of main characters in Chunhangjun, implied SooPoongJungKwae(水風井卦) represented water and wind. The second, by comparing the constructive steps of the work with the Lines(爻) of SooPoongJungKwae(水風井卦), I found that six steps of the work were connected with six Lines of SooPoongJungKwae(水風井卦). Finally, With studying the principle of main subject based on the meaning of SooPoongJungKwae(水風井卦), I Explained that this work comforted the people's hard life and the enlightenment to encourage them was spread throughout the country. So I recognized that this work expressed the realization of the royal regime for the people. You can find two meanings here. The first point is that the way of understanding and analyzing Chunhangjun are based on the contents of itself. The second point is that names of its characters, steps of its composition and its subject are expressed based on the thinking system of the Book of Change. I believe that these of views and studying method will be a foundation to make a formation theory of Korean classical novels.
