敏齋 李東允의 문집 현황과 한시 작품 개관

Abstract

Minjae Lee Dong-yoon(1727~1809) is a writer of ≪Baksochonhwa≫. After he was introduced to the academic world, research has been accumulated, but there is still lack of research on his life, thoughts, and literature. By introducing Lee Dong-yoon’s collection of works, ≪Minjaeyugo≫, this study is aimed to examine the aspects of him as a writer found in his life, works, and Chinese poems and figure out his pursuit in literature.
 The three books of ≪Minjaeyugo≫ that have been handed down up to now are unfinished manuscripts of which order is not decided. It contains 631 themes and 1,276 works of Chinese poetry written by him from 1757 when he was 30 years old to his later years. About the contents, it includes 49 Seo(書), 3 Seo(序), 3 Gi(記), 17 Jebal(題跋), 45 Jemun(祭文), 7 Gomun(告文), 6 Haengjang(行狀), 8 Haengrok(行錄), 2 Eonhaengrok, 4 Yusa(遺事), 8 Myoji(墓誌), and 25 Japjeo(雜著).
 This study outlines Lee Dong-yoon’s works of Chinese poetry as 1) the records of daily life grounded on Cheonghan(淸寒) and affection, 2) the life of Anbunjijok (安分知足) and intention for Seonghak(聖學), and 3) preference for creating Old poems written at full length and Chinese poems written in series. First, although Lee Dong-yoon had the reputation of the royal Jeonju Lee’s family, he was in distress through his life for poverty and destitution. Taking ordinary and plain things in everyday life as the themes of his Chinese poems, he pursued simplicity about all sorts of feelings in the world. This is in line with the meaning of ‘Bakso(樸素)’ taken from ≪Jangja(莊子)≫. Second, as an old man in the rural area of the Chungcheong Province, Lee Dong-yoon was immersed into Gyeonghak(經學), solidified his will for Studies for oneself, learning to develop and cultivate oneself, and pursued the life of Anbunjijok(安分知足) by writing Chinese poems. Third, Lee Dong-yoon’s Chinese poems were intensively created in his later years, and concerning the forms, Jangpyeongosi and Yeonjaksi formed a large part. In the Hoseo area, he interacted with Namdang’s disciples and the brothers of Andong Kim’s family deeply, and it seems that this influenced him when he wrote Jangpyeongosi in the 18th century.
 Lee Dong-yoon learned from Namdang Han Won-jin and Byeonggye Yoon Bong-gu and was greatly influenced by Yoogeundang Kim Gyo-haeng. In fact, ≪Minjaeyugo≫ contains a large number of writings related to that. There are many notable works such as memoirs about his wife and sisters or about Sir Yoogeundang, and this author expects that in-depth studies will be carried out about Lee Dong-yoon’s literature and thoughts afterwards.
