死六臣 담론의 轉變과 조선후기 詩歌의 수용 양상

Abstract

This study is aimed to examine the changing process of the discussion of Sayukshin(the six martyred scholar-officials) socially beyond the political context and explore the features of Sayukshin in the literature. In the process of this, existing memories of Sayukshin was actively used. In the chapter 2, the changing process of discussion on Sayukshin in the Choseon Dynasty was studied. In the beginning, they were branded traitorous subjects and categorized nationally as such in Mujeongbogam. Although Nam Hyo-ohn described Sayukshin as loyal vassals in his book Yukshin-jeon, it was considered a personal writing as well as a dangerous piece of writing. Therefore, it was difficult to be spread. However, entering the 16th century, the movement of acknowledging Sayukshin as royal subjects emerged consistently and the transformation of memory of them gradually happened. And then they were redefined as royal subjects rather than traitorous subjects. The reinstatement of Sayukshin was completed in the reign of King Sukjong in the late 17th centry by removing the dilemma of recognizing Sayukshin as loyal subjects against the present dynasty based on the concept of the proper righteousness between a king and subjects or the "Gun-Shin Buneui" philosophy. The reinstatement officially enabled Sayukshin to be acknowledged as royal subjects. In the reign of king Yeongjo and Jeongjo, the dynasty played a leading role to promote the project of honoring of Sayukshin as loyal vassals. Their graves were organized and gravestones were set up. Memorial halls were built in many places and held services to honor them. This series of process produced spatialization of memories of Sayukshin, which led the common people to regard them as royal subjects. In the late 18th century, the project of honoring of Sayukshin got into full swing by the construction of the Baeshik-dan stand(an attached stand for food-offering) at the Noreung mausoleum. Sayukshin eventually came to be memorized not only as loyal vassals but also as the ethical ideal for confucianism. In the chapter 3, the features of Sayukshin in the literature was examined based on the change of discussion of Sayukshin explored in the chapter 2. In spite of the concept of a group of six individual leaders, the individuality of Sayukshin faded out and the vassals' loyalty of Sayukshin strongly remained in Chinese poetry of confucian elites. However, there was not much difference between pre-and post-reinstatement in the recognition of Sayukshin. That was because under the tradition of neo confucianism the way of confucian elites memorizing Sayukshin was completed by emphasizing their loyalty to the king. In the case of sijo increasing the number of its readers, the image of individuality as well as the image of a group of Sayukshin was reflected. Sayukshin was comparatively set as writers rather than materials of works. To be firmly recognized as a writer of a work, they needed to get attention not as a group of Sayukshin but as an individual. Such general acceptance as a sijo poet was not established at a time though. Leading figures of Sayukshin including Seong Sam-moon, Park Pang-yeon were comparatively set as a writer first.Themes of their works were stretched to poems expressing a leisurely life including poems showing their loyalty to the king and Yeongun(the song of longing for the absolute object). This resulted from the change of social recognition of Sayukshin with the times.
