洛下生 李學逵의 『嶺南樂”』 再論

Abstract

This paper aimed to take an overall review on 『Yeongnamakbu』 of Nakhasaeng. Hakkyu Lee based on existing research performance and limitation. We can grasp the general picture of 『Yeongnamakbu』 by existing research, but among 68 pieces of work there are still 23 pieces which have never been reviewed and the work like 「Jinjungeun (眞正言)」·「Yongchitang(m齒湯)」·「Mulgyeja(勿稽子)」·「Jangmiyeo(薔薇 女)」 are outstanding regarding to the topic and imagery. The topic of other 6 pieces of work, like 「Muhsintop(無信塔)」․「Chulmuneo(鐵文魚」․「 Guhyeongwang(仇衡王)」․「Jangbuin(麞夫人)」․「Hyobulhyo(孝不孝)」․「 Yangbusi(兩釜屍)」 are also quite remarkable which were first discovered by Hakkyu Lee. This paper tries to discuss 『Yeongnamakbu 』 again by reviewing these works thoroughly. Since the year of Sunjo 8(1808), Hakkyu Lee started collecting figure, historical site, local custom from Silla to Late Koryo Dynasty in Gimhae where he was exile, and then wrote 『Yeongnamakbu』. He thought ‘fact delivering’ was most important in akbu’s writing, that’s why he aimed at realistic description by quoting from various historical or geographic text as well as thorough historical research even in the limited exiling space and using limited books. Next we will examine the feature of ..Yeongnamakbu.. by looking at subject, topic and narration. As a result, we captured several features as follows. ① criticism on corrupt government officials, recognition of realism; ② criticism on Buddhism, recognition of rationalism; ③ criticism on historical figure in Yeongnam area; ④ literary spirit and legend in Yeongnam area; ⑤ realistic description by historical research of text; ⑥ topic emphasis through dialogic style. ..Yeongnamakbu.. is not a ‘local akbu’ only limited in Yeongnam area. As akbu covered from Silla to Late Koryo Dynasty, capital Gyeongju preserved the tradition untill Koryo. So ..Yeongnamakbu.. more than an akbu covered the figure, historical site and local custom with Gyeongju as center, it can be also regarded as akbu in one state.
