『東京雜記』와 詩的 공간으로서의 慶州

Abstract

This paper examined images of Gyeonju as a poetic space through Chinese poems registered in 『Dongyeongjapgi(東京雜記)』, a representative local journal published in the 17 century and considered Chinese poems' functions and meanings. The 『Dongyeongjapgi』published by Gyeongjubuyun Minjumyeon(閔周冕) and residents in Gyeongju province in about 1669, It convers all kinds of information about Gyeongju before and after the publication in the Silla era and consists of a total of 3 volumes and 49 items. In 13 items of all 49 items, Chinese poems are cited, and the largest number of volumes was registered in <Jeyeong(題詠)> item among them. These works can be largely into works describing Gyeongju in the Silla and the Goryeo era and the others representing it in the Joseon era. The former is described as an 'ancient city in Silla, the historical space' in which retrospect of Silla's Yupung and history and yearning for old dynasty or regret for the ruin of country, while the latter is described as a 'Confucian space' for prosperity of confucianism, by introducing the 'space for literature creation' related with Kim Siseup(金時習)'s Gyeongju travel and creation of 『Guem-osinhwa(金鰲新話)』and the other space of Hoijae(晦齋) Lee Yeonjeok(李彦迪). The functions and meanings of Chinese poems registered can be summarized: First, they function as a historical recording method. It functions as Yeongsa and Jehwa, by properly citing Chinese poems and a simple array of geographic information and providing visual images. Second, many Chinese poems were registered for spreading Confucian ethics. A lot of works created around Hanggyo and Seowon were registered, in the same context of spread and distribution of Confucianism, a domestic ideology of the Joseon era. Third, the subjectivity of Jajisajok who lived in the Gyeonju province was strongly reflected in the selection of Chinese poem sentences. Some works of figures who had relationships with Buyun who initiated the publication and local Sajoks, powerful forces at that time were often collected, since they usually regulated and selected contents of them. Therefore, it can be found that contents registered in Sachan Eupji in the Joseon era are never objective and mainly consist of various political stories created from interests around specific forces. This paper also suggests the necessity to re-consider varlous functions of Chinese poems in the traditional level, other than the literary perspective.
