‘어변성룡’형 충자도의 주제 해석 연구

Abstract

In this paper, I found problems in the theme analysis of ‘Carp turns into dragon’-type(魚變成龍型) ‘Chung’ word picture(忠字圖) from the existing view and tried to solve it. I read the existing ‘Carp turns into dragon’-type ‘Chung’ word picture interpretation as a symbolic sign type(象徵符號類型) while grouping all types of ‘Chung’ word picture into decoration type, ‘story picture’ type and sign type. I tried to read it as a narrative sign type(敍事符號類型) by looking at unfamiliar points. Even in the process of reading as a narrative sign type, with the help of the symbolic sign type, the main shapes of the iconography, the dragon and the fish, are the relationship between the monarch and he loyal retainers, and the shellfish and the shrimp are also the loyal retainers. As a result, from various aspects such as the narrative sign of the iconography, the combination of the upper and lower structures, and the integration of the iconography and the subject, ‘Carp turns into dragon’-type ‘Chung’ word picture was described with a narrative sign that Ji Xin(紀信) disguised as Han wang(漢王) Liu Bang(劉邦) to save Liu Bang during the battle between Chu and Han(楚漢戰), and he died instead for Liu Bang and Xingyang city's loyal retainers also used their strength and heart to helping Liu Bang’s founding country.
