Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine the patterns and significance of the interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』, a Chinese teaching book for women, written by Changam Park Man-hwan during the Enlightenment period. 『Yusisaseo』 is a book of instruction for women edited and annotated by Wang Sang during the Qing Dynasty in China. In 1907, Park Man-hwan translated and published it at Yeongjujeongsa. This paper studied the translation of Park Man-hwan's 『Yeosaseo』 and examined the publication process, the interpretation pattern, and its characteristics. We also looked at the meaning within the context of women's instruction books at the time. In 1907, Park Man-hwan interpreted 『Yeosaseo』 and received verification from Jeun woo. He published it with Yeosaseo with a preface written by Song Byeong-soon and an afterword written by Jeun woo. If you look at the system, the original Chinese text and the Korean translation of the language are placed separately. This method is different from the one that was translated into Korean during the Yeongjo period of the Joseon Dynasty and wrote the sound of Chinese characters. And Park Man-hwan selected only the exemplary deeds of women from the contents of the commentary and translated them into Korean. In particular, the annotations of 『Yeogye』『Naehun』『Yeo Analects』, which contain a lot of didactic content about women and behavioral norms that women should follow, were not explained at all. On the other hand, 『Yeobeomcheoprok』 explained the exemplary behavior of women in detail in the annotations, and Park Man-hwan faithfully explained this. In this way, Park Man-hwan tried to interpret 『Yeosaseo』 focusing on the exemplary examples of women and encourage women to use it as an example and put it into practice. During the Enlightenment period, the need for women's education was emphasized, and many textbooks teaching women were produced, and Park Man-hwan's interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』 was in line with this trend. In addition, women's loyalty and attitude toward the state and wages were emphasized as they recognized women as members of the state, and this trend is reflected in the women's guidebook, and Park Man-hwan's interpretation of the 『Yeosaseo』 focused on responding to social demands and expanding women's consciousness.
