『금강중용도가』의 형식적 특질에 대하여 - <前聖攸程·先君之思 永言>을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper is an analysis of the formal characteristics of the <Kuemgangchungyongdoga>. The author, Kim Yi-ik, wrote this work when he was exiled to Geumgapdo, Jindo. This exile-lyrics was written in the early 19th century, and it is a song about the story of missing the king who died and studying in exile. The king was King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty, and he was the most scholarly king among the kings. And he was a king who loved Kim Yi-ik very much. He studied in exile because he thought it was the order of the dead king. So he studied hard and wrote five books after studying the Jooyeok, and drew a picture after studying the Chungyong. The picture is <Kuemgangchungyongdo>, and this exile-lyrics written to describe the picture. It is presumed that this work was created between late May and early June 1802. And this work was made of 256 lines, which was confusing because the researchers did not count the lines correctly. The other title is written in the songbook as <JeonSung YuJeong, SunGunJiSa Yeong-eon> which means a long song that one is taught by Confucian sages and the other is thought about the dead king. These two contents are naturally connected, and at the center of it is King Jeongjo. This work is composed of three parts, and all three parts have a structure of introduction, development, transformation and determination, like a chinese poem. The orderly and logical development of content is a good indication that the author was a Confucian scholar. And various rhetoric methods were used in this work, and many honest and direct expressions can be found. These expressions were effectively used to convey the author's feelings to the reader. This work is different from other exile-lyrics in many ways. In particular, it is a work that continues the tradition of ‘a song that a loyal servant misses the king’ in that it sang his loyalty to the dead king.
