≪萬曆野獲編⋅果報≫ 飜譯 및 註釋(1)

Abstract

Wanliyehuobian(萬曆野獲編) is a highly regarded academic material for providing valuable materials to researchers in fields such as history and literature. Based on the vast historical data in this book, researchers have been conducting in-depth research. “Wanliyehuobian⋅guobao” out of Wanliyehuobian’s 28th volume consists of 15 episodes. In this paper, the four episodes of “Shengguozhinüzhihuo(勝國之女致禍)”, “Wangguohoufeiliuluo(亡國后妃流落)”, “Yinchanglong(尹昌隆)” and “Chouguizheren(仇鬼責人)” are translated and annotated. Shen Defu(沈德符) records his personal opinion and assessment of historical events and figures, with events centered on characters and stories in “Wanliyehuobian⋅guobao”. This reflects the historicality and literature, especially in “Wanliyehuobian⋅guobao”, reflecting the literary nature of the book. As inferred from the formation, “Wanliyehuobian⋅guobao” mainly deals with historical events and figures, writing punitive justice. Shen Defu tried to explain all the historical figures and the characters of the time, revealing that causality and retribution were true beyond time and space. In particular, the realization of causal retribution through ghosts with a grudge can be evaluated as having novel literary characteristics because of the possibility of fiction. In these episodes, we can also see the fate of women during the war, their social customs, cultural habits, the virtuous and cruel concept of retribution of Confucianism, and the reincarnation and retribution of Buddhism.
