愚潭 丁時翰의 『山中日記』 硏究 - 경남 함양 유람에 관한 기록을 중심으로

Abstract

WuDam (愚潭) Jeong, Si-Han(丁時翰) is a scholar of late Joseon dynasty and his family was yangban (aristocrat class) family living in Seoul for generations. Existing researches about WuDam Jeong, Si-Han have focused on his philosophical contemplation and his literary aspects have not been approached enough. This research was started from interest on 『Sanjungilki (山中日記)』, a travel literature of Jeong, and we believe the literature can diversify studies regarding Jeong, Si-Han. According to 『the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty』, Jeong was described as “likes mountain and water hence traveled around all different regions [喜山水遍遊八方]” and 『Sanjungilki』 is a book with intact daily records of four-time mountain traveling at his late age. Therefore, detailed analysis of this book could contribute for knowing Jeong, Si-Han’s normal life not just as a scholar but also as a writer. This paper has looked into the meaning of ‘the place one has left’, not ‘the place one is living’ for WuDam Jeong, Si-Han. In other words, the meaning of mountain traveling for Jeong, Si-Han, who lived in Gangwon-do province for his entire life, has been investigated. For this, among the four mountain traveling described in 『Sanjungilki』, the first traveling was selected for detailed analysis. The travel, proceeded on his age of 62, was with the longest time spent among his four trips and he stayed in Hamyang region of Gyeongsangnam-do Province for six months. Therefore this paper extracted records from Hamyang region only from 『Sanjungilki』 and analyzed in depth to find the meaning of Hamyang for Jeong, Si-Han. Moreover, the rationales of Jeong’s San-Su-Byeok (山水癖: propensity of craving for mountain and water) were contemplated through this paper.
