조선시대 가산(假山) 소재 한문 산문 작품의 주제의식 고찰

Abstract

The tradition of forming and appreciating Gasan(假山) had been continued to Joseon Dynasty. Differently from the previous times, in Joseon Dynasty there are many works of proses in which the Gasan(假山) are used as subjects of literary works. These literary works include general ideas such as the manufacturing processes of Gasan(假山), their appearance characteristics, the way and the recognition of appreciating the literary works. This study examined the meaning of the subject that explored the meaning of Gasan(假山) in literary works of proses that focused on Gasan(假山) of Joseon Dynasty independently. The result shows three different aspects. First, they named Gasan(假山) as ‘假山’ trying to give ironic caution meaning. It shows that Gasan(假山) are not actual mountains harmonizing itself with the name of ‘假山’ and completing the meaning of a caution. Second, it suggests the viewpoint from the outside world being apart from the size and reality to appreciate Gasan(假山). It points out that they can appreciate the mountains by developing themselves physically and mentally and studying and pursue pleasure just through imagining on the assumption that they see objects from outside of them not dividing the size and reality about real mountains and Gasan(假山). If it is not assumed, they only focus the appearance not being able to imagine the actual mountains or not seeing it as an object that includes a reason. Third, it extends the issue of happiness and unhappiness that is caused by ‘Mokgasangi(木假山記)’ of Sū-Xùn to fortune and misfortune of talented person to refer to the source of talented person indirectly. These works commonly mention the part that the government recognizes talented person. But they describe the quality of talented person and the viewpoints of government differently.
