《東坡志林》의 판본과 <異事>篇 연구

Abstract

This paper was studied for the purpose of closely examining the composition and contents of the xylographic book and Yi-Shi section of Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin. Su Shi(蘇軾) was known for his excellent writing skills from an early age, and he created more mature works by accumulating various experiences through exile due to the struggles of both old and new parties. Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin is nicknamed Zhi-Lin(志林), Dong-Po-Shou-Ze(東坡手擇), and Dan-Er-Shou-Ze(儋耳手擇). It is estimated that Su shi created the work for about 20 years from the period of exile in huangzhou(黃州) to the period of exile in Hainan(海南). There are 1st, 12th, and 5th editions of the Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin. The 12th volume is known to have many errors, and five copies that supplement the overall contents are reported as common copies. The Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin was distributed in Korea and Japan, and was newly created with manuscripts, woodblocks, and woodblock prints. In view of this distribution situation, Su Shi’s Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin seems to have had a significant impact on Korean and Japanese literature. Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin’s Yi-Shi section has quite a lot of parts where you can feel a novel pleasure using bizarre and unique materials. The Yi-shi section consists of contents related to Taoism and Alchemy, the underworld and regeneration, stories related to characters, satire and eccentricity, etc. The contents of Taoism and Alchemy are stories using the actions, prophecies, alchemy of monks, but they also contain Buddhist content. The content belonging to the underworld and regeneration encompasses the elements of Buddhism’s afterlife or causal retribution. The stories of people who appeared or were possessed and returned from the underworld are fascinating, but they are intended to compare or teach a lesson similar to reality. Some works related to characters have a form similar to Liu Yiqing(劉義慶)’s the New Account of Tales of the World(世說新語), so they seem close to in the Describing Men(志人). The artist’s vast interests can be seen because it describes the comparisons between characters, evaluations of famous figures from previous times, and the actions of ordinary people. The content of satire and eccentricity encompasses exaggerated narratives, supernatural phenomena, folk beliefs, and everyday lives of ordinary people. It can be said that these works have inherited the tradition of Mystery Novels(志怪小說) because they contain bizarre contents. Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin’s Yi-Shi section clearly reflects Su Shi’s writer’s consciousness. He used his knowledge while expressing interest in various aspects of society, self-reflection and criticism through retrospective, and maintains a hopeful and sense of humor in desperate situations. Therefore, the Dong-Po-Zhi-Lin’s Yi-Shi section expresses Su Shi’s colorful world of work and can be evaluated as a characteristic work that exudes novel elements.
