魏建功의〈侨韩琐談〉시탐

Abstract

Wei Jian Gong(魏建功) is the only modern Chinese writer who published works on Korea while staying in Korea for a long time. Indeed, Guo Mo Ruo(郭沫若) and Zou Lu(邹鲁) have also visited Korea and written works about Korea. However, Guo Mo Ruo just stopped over in Korea on his way to Japan and Zou Lu stayed in Korea only temporarily in 1929. In terms of the number and quality of works, Wei Jian Gong published a total of eight works (one of which is〈Qiao han Suo Tan〉. In terms of content, Wei Jian Gong wrote a total of 22 essays) that offer insights into Korea's culture and history, contributing to the quantity and quality of 'Modern Chinese literature concerning Korea and Korean.' In 〈Qiao han Suo Tan〉, Wei Jian Gong partly showed nationalistic attitudes to interpret Korean history and culture from his (Chinese) perspective, but he, as an intelligent young man affected by 5·4 new culture movement, also made efforts to respect and view Korea as objectively as possible. Especially in 1928, the year he visited Korea, anti-overseas Chinese movement was prevalent in Korea, which makes his efforts more valuable. 〈Qiao han Suo Tan〉, which contains an intelligent Chinese young man's perception of Korean history and culture in the 1920s, shows the subtle national and ethnic relationship between modern and contemporary Korea and China.
