시선집 『靑丘詩鈔』의 편찬과 문학사적 의미

Abstract

The main purpose of the present study is to elucidate the background and process in the compilation of selected poems, Cheonggusicho published by the Japanese Government-General of Joseon and its meaning in Korean Chinese literature history. Because Kim, Taejun made a diachronic study of Korean Chinese literature history to describe ancient parts of Joseon Chinese Literature History by using a lot of Cheonggusicho.
 The Competitive Exhibition of Local Products for the Fifth Anniversary of New Politics’ held by the Japanese Government-General of Joseon provided an occasion to publish Cheonggusicho. It was held to commemorate the fifth year of Japanese rule of Joseon and to make Joseon merged as a colony of Japan.
 Though Cheonggusicho was published to commemorate the fifth year of Japanese rule of Joseon, it was not a local product. It seems that its aim was for some Japanese to enjoy Korean folk culture, due to the words in the preface, “to give the books printed by the typographic culture of Joseon to the ‘persons interested in the same subject’”. It is doubtful why Cheonggusicho was taken to Joseon Chinese Literature History.
 Cheonggusicho consists of 176 poems stemmed from Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom, to the Goryeo dynasty. Over 130 poems in it were recorded on Dongmunseon. The poems representing each historical era are arranged in chronological order with a poem a poet. It is different from other anthologies. So the origin of Joseon poetry dates back to the earlier era.
 According to the preface of Joseon Chinese Literature History, it does not belong to Chinese Literature because it is the translated Chinese character version of native Korean words. At that time when Kim, Taejun wrote Joseon Chinese Literature History, Samgukyusa(Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms) began to spread and the literary approach to Hyangga(old Korean folk songs), Korean myths and folktales emerged in the academy. That Chinese Literature in Korea should belong to Joseon Chinese Literature History was under discussion.
 In conclusion, though Cheonggusicho was published for some Japanese to enjoy Korean folk culture, it is a clue to spread the origin of old Korean literature by Kim, Taejun at that time when the concept of literature began to change.
