尤庵 宋時烈의 碑誌文 硏究

Abstract

This paper aims at studying inscription of Si-Yeol, Song with the pen name of Woo Am(1607 - 1689), a scholar of metaphysics and writer in 17th century. So far, Si-Yeol, Song has been regarded as the scholar studying the ethics. Furthermore, he vigorously wrote many books as seeing SongJaDaeJeon. He produced 500 inscriptions, which are the largest volume compared with other collection of works. However, his literary ability has not been recognized rightly until now. Thus, as a reaction to this tendency mentioned above, his inscriptions were fully discussed. Numerous inscriptions will be a steppingstone to judge the level of artistic achievement. He wrote about the matters of common people, women, servants as well as the royal family and high-class group. He not only describe the things as they are according to the basic principle of inscription, but also pursued to write in literary style. His writing style was influenced by Han Yoo, one of eight writers in the Dang dynasty and writer of Guyanhsangesa․Leewonbeanyuepye and Yang-Soo, Goo, a writer of Sangangteaenpye. He even received the style of Joo Ja's inscription called the ideological root of his writing. However, his imitative style goes beyond the style of the original works and transformed them into his own style. So he constantly created and achieved the artistic technique. He also changed the inscription regarded as a practical writing into an artistic form of writing. Therefore, he is believed to be a scholar studying the ethics. Evermore, he must be in a permanent position in the prose in 17th century.
