正祖의 館閣文 서적 편찬과 관각문에 대한 인식

Abstract

King Jeongjo had a great interest in literature from an early age, believing that the teachings of the world could be confirmed through literary style, and furthermore, that political and social customs could also be changed through the transformation of literary style. He also lamented the decline of the literary style of his time and emphasized the need for a changes the writings in the public domain, such as chuánjiào(傳敎), pànfù(判付), and zhāngzòu(章奏), which as well. To achieve this, King Jeongjo compiled and published various books, particularly focusing on the creation of Guǎngéwén that promoted various policies and highlighted the dignity of the royal court. During one's crown prince days, he compiled the 『Sawon-yeonghwa(詞苑英華)』 by selecting exemplary styles from official documents, and later published the 『Munwonbobul(文苑黼黻)』 by expanding and embodying various literary styles, serving as a model for first academician. He also attempted to establish the boundaries of Guǎngéwén and standardize their format while compiling the 『Munwonbobul』. He defined official documents as writings composed in the court, specifically categorized according to their form and function, with the king or crown prince as the sender, excluding contents closely related to practical matters, and emphasized their sophistication and ceremonial nature. He also attempted to standardize their format by modifying some aspects during the process of transcribing them. Additionally, King Jeongjo engaged in numerous debates with his courtiers regarding Guǎngéwén. He established the true lineage of official document writers through the works of Gwon Geun(權近), Byeon Gye-ryang(卞季良), Seo Geujeong(徐居正), Yi Jeong-gwi(李廷龜), Nam Yong-ik(南龍翼), and Song Sang-gi(宋相琦), and explained what Guǎngéwén should ultimately aspire to, praising a plain and simple style, practical content that discerns the rise and fall of the times, and a profound understanding of sentence structure that pursues change. In order to revitalize the literary style, King Jeongjo presented examples and styles of Guǎngéwén, selected and trained talented individuals, but when this did not yield significant results, he implemented a literary policy. However, when the styles of the courtiers responsible for writing in the public domain, such as Guǎngéwén, were met with derogatory terms like ‘Chāoqǐ-tǐ(抄啓體)’ and ‘Kuígé-tǐ(奎閣體)’, a conservative attitude towards literature emerged, leading to a focus on Confucian classics in the literary policy.
