韓愈 ˂送窮文˃의 후대 수용 연구― ˂送窮文˃ 모방작을 중심으로

Abstract

Hanyu’s <Songqiongwen> consisting of a motif of chasing a poverty ghost, it takes the form of a virtual dialogue between oneself and the poverty ghost as the person drives out the poverty demon that is attached to him. As if it seemed to appeal to the ghost for his destitution through a peculiar topic and the creation of the comical ghost image, in the later years, <Songqiongwen> is evaluated as a representative work of Hanyu due to the dual features of self-boasting in fact and criticising things that were wrong with the world. Since a number of works mimicking <Songqiongwen> have appeared after Hanyu, the purpose of this research is to examine the acceptance of <Songqiongwen> through the analysis of the imitative works. Although Wantang Duanchengshi’s <Songqiongwen> was the first imitative work, it had accepted only the motif of expelling a poverty ghost but the form and the contents had been scaled down and thus it is difficult to find the characteristics of Hanyu' <Songqiongwen>. Since then, the works of the Song dynasty and the Yuan dynasty such as Wangling's <Songqiongwen>, Wangzhiwang's <liuqiongwen>, Cuidunli's <liuqiongwen>, and Haojing's <yaoqiongwen> have all accepted the format of Hanyu’s <Songqiongwen> as it was but have modified the contents from Songqiong to liuqiong, which can be interpreted as the succession of Hanyu’s <Songqiongwen> with a little change in the state of the poverty ghost. The works of the Ming dynasty and the Qing dynasty including Liuji's <Songqiongwen>, Pusongling's <Churijiqiongshenwen> and <Qiongshendawen>, and Daimingshi's <Songqiongzhuan> have drastically transformed the genre of Hanyu’s <Songqiongwen> into chuqi, jiwen, and a novel, added new contents and thus recreated Hanyu’s <Songqiongwen>.
