서술 시점의 리듬 조절에 의해 설정된 你道와 그 의미 — 說唱本 石派書 ≪龍圖公案≫과 ≪三侠五义≫와의 비교를 중심으로

Abstract

你道 is a clichéd narrative that can be easily identified in vernacular novels, provoking the reader’s curiosity about the next passage. The narrative is sometimes set as 且聽下回分解 at the end of each episode of the work, but it just suggests the next episode, so it is inferior to the 你道 in terms of the influence it has on the narrative of the story in the work. Therefore, the discussion on the narrative style of vernacular novels should begin with the 你道. However, 說唱本, the original copy of vernacular novels, have largely been lost, making it difficult to perform the fundamental study on the 你道. Meanwhile, 石派書 ≪龍圖公案≫ has been found, which is a representative work of chivalrous novels written in the mid-Qing Dynasty as one of the series of ≪三侠五义≫ 說唱本. Therefore, if a fundamental study on the 你道 that has influenced the narrative of the work is carried out through comparison between the two texts, it will be possible to grasp not only the influence of the 你道 on vernacular novels, but also its action in the creation of texts. In the case of a study on the 你道, so far, it has focused a lot on the discussion of its function only by analyzing the texts of the novels in general, suggesting that the research achievements are lacking in various perspectives. It is clear that the comparison between the above two texts will be one of the research achievements for the diversity of the 你道 that can supplement the above-mentioned problem. For the study of such diversity, this study is intended to discuss that the 你道 is set as in the case of sentences before the same viewpoint of narratives for linking the preceding and following paragraphs, unlike its existing function that arouses readers’ curiosity. This type of the 你道 makes readers accept sentences from the same point of view without letting them perceive it as an existing single form. This is because when they go through such a process, they can move to the main contents of ‘Ep. 1’ that develops from the following of the 你道 in the previous paragraph, and furthermore, they will be able to focus on those main contents. Thus, this study will conduct a comparison between two texts for the purpose of considering the various characteristics of the 你道, and it is believed that the research results derived therefrom will provide a new direction for the study of the 你道’s diversity.
