『桑韓唱和塤篪集』에 관한 연구

Abstract

『SanghanchangwhahunJi Collection』 was a collection of conversations by writing which was published by a Japanese intellect who collected written conversations and poetry between Chosun Tongsinsa staff dispatched to Japan in 1719(Kihae year) and Japanese intellectuals. It was published in Kyoto in the year of 1720. This collection boasts the most voluminous work among the present material related to the diplomatic journey in Kihae year. It is an important text which we can learn detailed pictures of transaction via diplomatic journeys between Chosun and Japan. In this regard, the present study attempted to identify the publication process and explanatory notes on editing of 『SanghanchangwhahunJi Collection』 which has sparsely studied so far. In addition, the present study aims at introducing its value as materials related the diplomatic journey of Tongsinsa through the examination of its construction and the contents of conversation. The construction of 『SanghanchangwhahunJi Collection』 is composed in line with the places where the Tongsinsa staff had written conversations with Japanese intellectuals according to their itinerary. The written conversations and reciprocally presented poetry made in one place were bound together without noticing whether it was written in the time of entering Japan or returning to Chosun. Through the contents of written conversations, we can identify that the Japanese people at that time had very serious and various interests in Chosun such as neo-Confucianism of Chosun, medical knowledge of Chosun, and features of the Chosun literature. If future research can identify the differences between 『SanghanchangwhahunJi Collection』 and other diplomatic journey records in the form of diary by Chosun Tongsinsa staff, the value of 『SanghanchangwhahunJi Collection』 is sure to be magnified.
