鶴皐 金履萬의 「山史」 硏究

Abstract

This study is on the background and meaning of 「Sansa」, that is the History of Mountains of Kim Yiman, Hakgo, which was a typical prose of travel sketch in the late Chosun Dynasty. Kim Yiman, who had a disposition of roving around mountains and waters, travelled from Mt. Baekdu to Mt. Wolchul, the Honam district, visiting celebrated places of natural beauty. 「Sansa」 was his record of travelling around mountains and waters. As shown in the prologue, Kim Yiman wrote 「Sansa」 under the inspiration of 『Myungsangi』, that is, A Record of Noted Mountains, looking back over his decades' journey. From a comparative analysis on its phrases of each heading and his official history, fifty-six headings were mostly related to travelling scenic attractions around his post during his service as Pyeongan-Dosa, Hamkyeong-Dosa and Mooan- Hyeongam, and most of other headings were written about picturesque sites around his hometown, Jecheon after his returning home. In the study of its background, writing style and contents, 「Sansa」 was found to be under the influence of Won Goyngdo's ‘Sansooyugi’, that is, A Record of Travelling around Mountains and Waters, which was in the main interest of wayoo, that is, literary mens' exploring picture books of scenic attractions in the late Chosun Dynasty. In the history of literature, it wa a significant fact that 「Sansa」, which was written in the 17th century, was directly influenced by Gongan Sect in the late Ming Dynasty. As Kim Yiman stated, 「Sansa」 was a literary product of visiting noted places in person on the basis of exploring picture books such as 『Chunhamyungsangi』, that is, A Journey Record of Highly Noted Mountains, and it came to serve as an object of wayoo and a means of dignified life, in return. This study is also meaningful in tracing the literary society of the late Chosun Dynasty through the mutual relationship between his supposed references to literary works and travelling companions mentioned in 「Sansa」.
