17세기 송강 시가의 수용 양상과 그 의미

Abstract

This paper attempted to verify with Songgang’s poetry the aspects of a hypothesis under the prerequisite of such hypothesis as the tradition of anthological genre and its distributional process have a close relationship of influence with a political party or the characteristics of the political party where its main body is attached in the Chosun Dynasty. As a result, it is confirmed through the parts of record at the time that most of those who preferred Songgang’s poetry in the 17th century were literary persons in line with Seoin(西人) and its aspects of adoption also changed gradually with the political and social changes occurring at the time. First of all, the works of Songgang’s poetry were preferred by his disciples or literary persons or the figures who had certain solidary relations with him in case of the period from the end of Seonjo~Gwanghaegun thought to be the period from the second half in the 16th century to the first half in the 17th century. Given a number of records evidencing such circumstances of preference, it seems to have a close relationship with the political phase in crisis which they had to face at the time. When it came to the period between Injo and Sukjong thought to be the middle and end of the 17th century, the aspects of preference for Songgang’s poetry were developed in a different way from the previous period. Especially, the works of Songgang’s poetry were filed into books through the process in making the so-called standard text, which is characterized in that it was carried out at the same time with the publication of Songgang’s chronological records, anthology, collections of works, etc. In addition, prominent figures in line with Seoin at the time such as Song Siyeol, Lee Seon, Kim Manjoong, etc., actively participated in such series of projects, which is probably thought to have had something to do with the circumstances where a few political upheavals enforced in the period of Sukjong might have resulted in losing the political leadership. In other words, the publication of Songgang’s chronological records along with other books is said to have had something to do with placing the fundamental objectives of establishing the identity of the political party, distinguishing oneself from others, confirming the right or wrong, and getting together at a level of one’s political party from such aspects over the affection or commemoration toward Songgang.
