芝峯 李睟光의 王世貞 수용에 대한 일고찰

Abstract

The Sino-Korean literature at the late Joseon period developed due to the close relation with literary theories of the Ming and Qing periods. No other person than Wang Shizhen(王世貞) had the greatest impact upon it. It is noteworthy that Yi Sukwang(李睟光) showed characteristic features of initial period of adoption of Wang Shizhen. His work “『Jibongyuseol(芝峯類說)』” mentions Wang Shizhen at 101 places. While 『Jibongyuseol』 refers to critical resources of numerous Chinese literary figures from the Han and Tang periods to the late Ming period, Wang Shizhen is the most frequently cited figure. With great interest in Wang Shizhen, Yi Sukwang subjectively adopted Wang Shizhen who was one of the greatest literary figures of the time in China with the pursuit of great learning and accumulation of profound knowledge on various literary theories in the Song and Ming periods. By means of perusal of the extensive writings of Wang Shizhen, exchange with the Chinese literary figures and critical perspective from the pursuit of great learning, Yi Sukwang could perceive rich and diverse aspects of the logic of Wang Shizhen. Although it was the initial period of adoption of Wang Shizhen who possessed both academic knowledge and theories, Yi Sukwang could carry out an in-depth critical reading on Wang Shizhen.
