宋代 기행문의 새로운 얼굴 — 樓鑰의 『北行日錄』을 중심으로

Abstract

In 「Changes in Writing Travel notes in the Song Dynasty-From a Closed World to an Open World (上)」, I analyzed that the writers of the Song Dynasty fused various existing records related to travel, that new attempts were repeated, and that as a result, various representative works that could be called the face of Chinese travel notes were born. However, in the current academic world, of the travel notes in the Song Dynasty, there is a tendency that Fan Chengda's 『Wuchuanlu』 and Lu You's 『Rushuji』 are the only subjects of research. To be sure, the main reason for this is probably that Fan Chengda and Lu You are regarded as great writers who left many outstanding literary works in the history of Chinese literature. However, besides this reason, their works are the most easily remembered attributes of travel by modern people, in other words, might it be the fact that the travel has caught our attention even more because it was the closest to the point of view of ‘leisure activities that individuals can freely enjoy’? Also, are we not limiting the scope of travel notes in the Song Dynasty too narrowly because of this research trend? This study introduces Lou Yue's 『Beixingrilu』, a relatively unfamiliar work in the Chinese literature world in Korea, and attempts to examine how well this work captures the characteristics of travel notes in the Song Dynasty that I outlined in my previous paper. Through this, I intend to gradually expand our perspective on how colorful travel notes in the Song Dynasty, which we were not aware of, actually have.
