17세기 한시 수사법의 일면: 무하당(無何堂) 홍주원(洪柱元)을 중심으로

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to scrutinize a facet of the prosodic framework within 17th-century Chinese poetry, specifically through an exploration of the poetic corpus authored by Muhadang Hong Ju-won(洪柱元, 1606–1672), a prominent figure of that era. The 17th century presents a multifaceted challenge in terms of delineating an unequivocal trajectory in poetic trends, yet it stands as a pivotal epoch instigating the transformative shifts observed in 18th-century poetic paradigms. Within the contextual parameters of the 17th century, there arises a necessity to conflate scholarly inquiries across diverse strata of individual poets, thereby amplifying the horizons of scholarly comprehension. Mindful of these considerations, this exposition is predominantly oriented toward the comprehensive appraisal of Hong Ju-won. Hong Ju-won was hailed for his poetic acumen and aptitude both contemporaneously and in ensuing periods. Accordingly, the present discourse delves into the expansive body of his compositions, encompassing a formidable anthology of over 2,000 poems, predominantly authored during the 17th century. This temporal juncture bore witness to the burgeoning proliferation of heterogeneous and distinct poetic idioms, presaging the subsequent innovative trajectories of the 18th century. Through meticulous dissection of his oeuvre encompassing aspects of emotive articulation, novel semantic constructs, structural formations, and allied prosodic techniques, the current study seeks to engage in a scholarly dialogue pertaining to a specific facet of the 17th-century prosodic framework within poetry. Two salient attributes characterize the poetic opus crafted by Hong Juwon. Foremost, it encapsulates the literary transmutation of vernacular language through adroit prosodic craftsmanship. Noteworthy is the scant recourse to classical allusions; even when invoked, these allusions do not impose onerous hurdles in deciphering the poet's intended meanings, owing to the limited reliance on contextual historical events. Additionally, the corpus predominantly integrates commonplace and uncomplicated logographs, eschewing obscure lexical entities or intricate syntactical configurations. This constitutes a quintessential illustration of the paradigmatic process whereby everyday vernacular metamorphoses into a literary dialect, buoyed by the scaffolding of prosodic techniques. This creative metamorphosis inherently ushers in manifold connotations within a single locution, thereby engendering a multiplicity of interpretative nuances. It is, however, imperative to underscore that the poetic compositions of Hong Juwon are characterized by prosodic strategies that not only afford readers interpretative autonomy but also curtail the prospects of misapprehension, thereby orchestrating a harmonious equilibrium between reader agency and the preservation of the auteur's central intentions. A secondary discernment emerges within these poems in the form of prevailing stylistic inclinations emblematic of the era, imbued with vividness and emotive resonance. The poet adeptly captures the essence of depicted scenes through an array of expressive modalities, thereby heightening affective resonances via deliberate juxtapositions with the portrayed subjects. This dimension serves to accentuate the emotional tenor inherent within the poetic corpus, with resonances of this stylistic tenor traced back to the poet's early mathematical pedagogy, a pedagogical trajectory catalyzed by his maternal lineage.
