근대계몽기 대한민보 소재 시조의 위상

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the background and characteristics of Sijo on Daehanminbo(1909～1910). Daehanmaeilsinbo(Sinbo) and Daehanminbo(Minbo) were two main journals that contained Sijo in the enlightenment period of modern age. But most studies on Sijo in this period have given too much importance only to the former until now. Sinbo generally put Sijo to practical use of enlightening people or criticising betrayers of Korea, while Minbo dealt with it as a literary creation. So the status of Sijo on it was higher than that of Sijo on Sinbo. It was the reason why Sijo on Minbo could have even more various themes. Minbo also developed the way to compose Sijo effectively by borrowing inspirations, stanzas, or subjects from many kinds of poems such as old Sijos, Chinese poems, other popular songs, and especially Sijos on Sinbo. Sinbo frequently borrowed Sijos on Minbo, too. This mutual relation between two journals indicates the unique composing practice in this period.
