『山曉閣芙蓉詩選』에 나타난 申芙蓉堂의 詩文風格과 自意識

Abstract

This essay aims to analyze Buyongdang’s personal literary style in Sanhyogagbuyong’s Poetry Anthology collected in Sungmunyeonbangjib and to explore Buyongdang’s self-consciousness from the anthology. We tried to gain deeper insight into the meaning, within Buyongdang’s own literary style and spiritual world, from limited existing works and superficial forms that follow traditional forms and expressions. Under the premise that Sanhyogag-Buyong’s Poetry Anthology reflects Buyongdang’s typical literary style and consciousness, this essay drew three conclusions as follows. Firstly, we focused on Buyongdang’s ‘old style.’ Sin-Seoksang’s comment that Buyongdang’s poetry is reminiscent of the Song of Ansebangjung, should be considered mainly based on tone or ‘atmosphere’, not form or theme. In poetry form, we analyzed its so called ‘pure and simple’ characteristic more concretely. Secondly, we scrutinized Buyongdang’s approach towards poetic objects. We explicated that Buyongdang depicts poetic objects from a camera-like-narrative in third person point of view, as a way to express her emotions. And the aspect that she mainly focuses on is ‘bright and clear’ in her depictions of poetic objects, can be described as her way to seek spiritual freedom in literary space. Besides, there are unexperienced-imaginative spaces reconstructed by engaging imaginary expressions. Thirdly, we found that Buyongdang’s contemplation on ‘destiny’ and ‘nature’ is a reflection on the Confucian view, engaging the attitude as a noble man, but not on an agnostic view, based on the analysis that there coexists both the notion of ‘Natural Heaven’ and one of ‘Presiding Heaven.’
