청주 집경시의 지역적 특성

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the regional characteristics of Cheongju Scene Collecting Poetry(SCP) as a part of regional studies. The regional SCP is a series of poems created by scholars who were segregated from political circles. The identified Cheongju SCP are 14, mostly created in 17-18C. Therefore, So I compared them with another regional works of the same period. The comparison items reviewed in this paper are : first, the prosperity of Tao Yuan-ming‘s life, second, the meaning of ‘Fishing’, and third, interest in the reality. The most frequently used materials for singing their recluse lives are ‘Tao Yuan-ming’ and ‘Fishing’. The most notable aspects among the life of Tao Yuan-ming are pleasure and simple enjoyment of rural life etc. And the ‘Fishing’ was used as a code to express leisurely excitement or free from the desires in rural life isolated from the world. It is for this reason that most of the SCP that sings around the residence ‘安貧樂道(Making pleasure by following Confucius' teachings without psychological agitation, even in difficult circumstances) rather than interest or criticism of the absurd reality. However, it is noted that some poems using different meanings of Tao Yuan-ming and Fishing are found in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and some regions of Chungcheong. In these poems there are works that focused on the fidelity or political employment and retirement of Tao Yuan-ming, Kang Tae-gong's ‘Fishing’ related to the desires of employment and rule, absurd reality. In Cheongju SCP all three phenomena are found. This characteristic of Cheongju SCP seems to be deeply related to the geographical characteristics of Cheongju as the boundary between the central and provincial regions and the base of central political power in the late Joseon Dynasty.
