『時調類聚』의 주제분류 체계와 최남선 시가론의 이념적 기반

Abstract

This paper aims to review topical classification system of Sijo Youchui and deduce the meaning by examining poetic discourse of Choi Namseon interlocking to gajip compilation. Choi Namseon planned to organize Sijo-rearrangement projects by publishing his gajip Gagokseon in 1913. After that, he concentrated on the study of Korean ancient history for 10 years. He finally published Sijo Youchui while undertaking sijo revival movement. Sijo Youchui is a topically classified anthology among 1,400 poems extracted from gajip and anthology possessed by Choi Namseon. The results reviewed from the system of gajip arranged with sijo according to 21 topic words are these. First, Sijo Youchui tried to emphasize the importance of natural sijo by subdividing and showing it at the beginning of the list. Second, he organized “man and woman sorts” re-ferring to affectional sijo and put them high on the list. In addition, he also included “sightseeing sorts” to the topical system which were not recognized as sijo topics. Third, pieces considered as Confucian ethics had been arranged later on the list and pieces for criticism of reality was not established as a topical item. Fourth, it requires attention be-cause of setting the new topical conceptions when comparing to topically classified gajip in the Joseon Dynasty period. Those were typically “comparison sorts”, “figure sorts”, “point of view to buddhist sorts”, “miscellaneous sorts.” Like these, Choi Namseon tried to approach topical classification of Sijo Youchui through new reasons. What we have to focus on is his series of literary theories in the 1920s, specifically the developmental process of his poetry. He tried to establish national literature in Joseon Dynasty period through sijo and His ideological basis lied on the ach-ievements of literature in Meiji period. The sijo theory developed by Choi Namseon had been associated with Waka discussion as a result of process of modern Japanese canon formation. The classification system of Sijo Youchui also resembled the system of Japanese Waka collections. This means that Choi Namseon refered to the universal aspects of Japanese poetic collections to publish his Sijo Youchui. These evidences can be seen in the pieces of Japanese modern literature discourse that have been also found in poetic dis-course of Choi Namseon, and the records from translation of sijo which had materials of Kokinwakasyu.
