Abstract

“Shou su hui” (Gathering for Su dongpo's Birthday Remembrance) is a cultural phenomenon popular in the Qing Dynasty. This paper discusses the origin and development of “Shou su hui” in the Qing Dynasty, and how it was introduced into the Joseon Dynasty through Joseon envoys, and sorted out the spread situation and reasons after it was introduced into the Joseon Dynasty. This paper mainly focuses on the analysis of the “Shou su hui” of Weng Fanggang(翁方綱), which played an important role in the development of the “Shou su hui” and played a decisive role in the introduction of “Shou su hui” into the Joseon Dynasty.
 Through the historical materials of 燕行, the time and the process of “Shou su hui”'s introduction into the Joseon Dynasty were explored based on the friendship of Park Jae-ga(朴齊家), Kim Jeong-hui(金正喜), Shin Wi(申緯) and Weng Fanggang. This paper discusses the process which Joseon Dynasty intellectuals accepted the culture. By sorting out the poems related to the “Shou su hui” by the intellectuals of the Joseon Dynasty, this paper observes the spread situation of the “Shou su hui” among the intellectuals after it was introduced into the Joseon Dynasty, including the main groups and time distribution of the cultural activities. To compare with the “Shou su hui” of the Qing Dynasty before its introduction, this paper finds the difference between the Shousuhui which developed in combination with the native culture of the Joseon Dynasty and the previous “Shou su hui”, and analyzes the reasons for its development and change.
 In the late Joseon Dynasty, there was a fever of admiration for Su Dongpo, and this fever interacted with the spread of the “Shou su hui”. After the introduction of the “Shou su hui” into the Joseon Dynasty, it further promoted the occurrence of this fever, and the Su Dongpo fever also provided sufficient soil for the development of the “Shou su hui”. As a cultural phenomenon, the “Shou su hui” connected the intellectuals of the two countries because of their admiration for Su Dongpo, and eventually became an important part of the cultural exchanges between the two countries at that time.
