『金雲翹傳』과 모티프 王翠翹 고사의 한국 전래 고찰

Abstract

I have studied in this article all the process of the introduction and the circulation of the Biography of Jin, Yunqiao and the motif of Wang, Cuiqiao story. There is a chance that the story of Wang, Cuiqiao cited in the works of Mao, Kun and Wang, Shizhen might have been introduced into Korea and read by Joseon literati, but we can not still find any specific record of it. The earliest one among extant documents mentioned the story clearly was made by 1683, the 9th reign year of Sukjong. In the same year, Kim, Seokju and Yu, Sangun on a trip back to Korea after finishing their task as envoys to Qing China exchanged poems referring to the fact that the story of Wang, Cuiqiao was included in Mao, Kun’s Naoqu and Pan, Zhiheng’s Genshi and the story of Wang, Cuiqiao itself as the subject. In 1735(the 11th reign year of Youngjo), Lee, Deoksu who entered into Qing as an envoy left a poem which mentioned the story of Wang, Cuiqiao. It is obvious that the Biography of Jin, Yunqiao was widely read in Joseon imperial court in that in 1762(the 38th reign year of Youngjo), the biography was mentioned in the small preface of Hoemobon written by a concubine whose name was Mrs Lee from Wansan. Besides, several libraries in Korea have such texts which mention the story of Wang, Cuiqiao as Mao, Kun’s Baihualou zanggao, Pan, Zhiheng’s Genshi, Lu, renlong’s Xingshiyan and Xiangyan congshu by Chongtianzi of Qing. In 1921, a part of translation of the Biography of Jin, Yunqiao by Yang, Baekhwa was included in Magazine Gaebyeok.
