王禹偁의 『莊子』 제재 律賦 創作 小考

Abstract

In the history of literature, the title and question of Keju (科擧)'s examination was often asked during the early Northern Song era by Emperor. So, during this period, it was became a common tool of literature which creations of Lüfu(律賦) were common among writers. In other words, it can be said that the Lüfu(律賦) is very closely related to the politics of the time. However, due to excessive formal restrictions and difficulty in content, various evils of Lüfu(律賦) have become increasingly fixed. As a result, many writers advocated torture against this trend centering on Ouyang Xiu(歐陽修), and a new genre called 'Wenfu(文賦)' emerged. Lüfu(律賦) is a style that has been famous for an era, but there are surprisingly few works that exist. In fact, there are surprisingly few studies related to the Lüfu(律賦) in Korea. In that sense, Lüfu(律賦) which was created mainly during the period before the style of Keju(科擧) was converted to the Song Dynasty poetry-prose innovation movement is worthwhile. In the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are Tian Xi(田錫) and Wang Yucheng(王禹偁) as writers who made their name as Lüfu(律賦). Wang Yucheng(王禹偁) is a writer who advocated that he should write old writings in the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he is also a pioneer of the Song Dynasty's poetry-prose innovation movement led by Ouyang Xiu(歐陽修). In the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, the rulers aimed for Confucianism politically, but personally, they were fascinated by Taoism and had a contradictory aspect of using it in the system of Keju(科擧). Wang Yucheng(王禹偁) who lived during this period, also created several Lüfu(律賦) works in line with the trend of this period. However, he burned most of his Lüfu(律賦) works and left only some of them. In particular, he maintained his usual Confucian attitude and showed a strong political and historical aspect, but there are also works that show a Taoist aspect of trying to be with nature after being demoted to the provinces. Although there are few works, I would like to examine the actual creation and ideas of Wang Yucheng(王禹偁) by looking at the works of his Lüfu(律賦) that are based on Zhuangzi(莊子). In addition, I would like to try to understand the social background in the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty through the Lüfu(律賦) which has not been surprisingly dealt with in literature.
