石介의 序文 硏究

Abstract

Xuwen(序文) is consisted of various sanctions and composition. It clarifies the thesis and appeals to emotions through expression techniques such as contrast and gradation and so on. In the Xuwen(序文), Shijie(石介) emphasizes trust in historical facts and values his own perspective on literature, Confucian ideas, literary theories, and values. It secures persuasive power by simply and coherently speaking in accordance with the prose style of Zengxu(贈序) and Shuxu(書序), while showing off its writing ability through a mixture of opinions and writings, or rich emotions, or through cool-headed rationality. In addition, the accent and admiration are at their peak, while the sentences are consistent from beginning to end with one thesis through proper admiration and reflection, maximizing the literary effect. His Xuwen(序文) gains credibility based on historical truth, chooses to persuade him by appealing to emotions, or maintains objectivity in a consistent tone. In addition, he explicitly and clearly expresses his view of history, Jingxueguan(經學觀), literary theory, and political ideas through the introduction of a simple sentence. All of these are his thoroughly prepared valuable values and positive contributions to Guwen(古文) movement. Therefore, a re-evaluation of Shijie(石介)’s Xuwen(序文) should be carried out, and other prose styles should be continuously studied. This continuous study is expected to help understand the transitional phenomenon of early Song dynasty Guwen(古文) movement and to study the basis of the sentences of the breeder, including Ouyangxiu(歐陽修). In fact, Xuwen(序文) can be evaluated very positively in terms of composition, relief, plain language, and effective investigative techniques. Thus, there is room for reconsideration of a series of negative assessments of his prose being bizarre, obfuscated and unusual. In addition, it was considered to be a great sentence that is consistent with clarity of the thesis, effective composition and technique, compared to Ouyangxiu(歐陽修)’s Xuwen(序文), which has taken a step further in various sanctions, themes, and expression techniques. Xuwen(序文) by Shijie(石介) should be re-examined in the history of Chinese traiditional prose, and his influence on the Guwen(古文) movement should never be overlooked.
