茶山의 蘇東坡論

Abstract

This argument investigates how and why Dasan(茶山) praise or censure Dong-Pa(東坡) So, Shik(蘇軾) who was one of the eight grand masters of the literature in Dang(唐) and Song(宋) dynasty. Dasan designated Dong-Pa as “the excellent talent among a thousand years”, “the great confucian”, and “the erudite scholar”, titled him in honor as “the grand teacher” or “Sir”, and praised that his excellent pieces of writings and peerless knowledge could exist in any disasters with their glorious figure which could shadows brilliant influence on the descendents forever. And he admired Dong-Pa's administrative achievements during the time when he was a provincial governor. But Dasan pointed out as a malfunction that he identified longevity with premature death, life with death. Also he criticized that he was narrow minded and hard hearted when he choose the political position of anti-Goryo(高麗), and that he was a heretic coloured by Zen Buddhism. Especially it prove the extensiveness of Dasan's study that he criticized the questionabl points of Jojusuhanmungongmyogi(潮州脩韓文公廟記) written by Dong-Pa, and got converted to the 14 items of his Sangwonguhabjeyukuichaja(上圓丘合祭六議箚子). As mentioned above, Dasan praised or censured Dong-Pa with his consciousness as a scholar and his academic faith. Finally, I was sure that the treatise of Dasan on Dong-Pa would contribute for us to understand the world of criticism of Chinese literati and a part of Dasan's study.
