In this paper, I examine the popularity and characteristics of Korean adaptations of the Guo Ziyi 郭子儀 story from Tang China, focusing on three distinct cases in fiction, painting, and education. First, my discussion of the fictional narrative adaptation called Kwak Punyang-jon 郭汾陽傳. In Taiping-guangji(太平廣記) of China, Guoziyi appears as loyal general and in his latter years he lived in splendor. In this paper, I show how a Chinese story grew anew within the landscape of Chosŏn Korean fiction, in which the Korean Guo Ziyi—unlike his Chinese counterpart, who remains merely a loyal general—develops into a hero shaped by Confucian and Daoist elements. I then examine the representation of Guo Ziyi in the widely circulated Chosŏn painting called “Punyangwang Haengnakto” 汾陽王行樂圖, illuminating how Guo’s image as a symbol of happiness and comfort, popular in China, was also widely accepted among Koreans. Finally, by introducing the Chosŏn queen Hyoŭi孝懿, who encouraged the translation into Korean of the biography of Guo Ziyi from the New Book of Tang(新唐書郭子儀列傳) and used the story to educate her relatives, This is Konjeonepil(坤殿御筆). I demonstrate how the story and image of Guo Ziyi were perceived and integrated into the everyday lives of Koreans during the Chosŏn era. Cosequently, these examples directly show that character Guoziyi has deeply culturally transformed in Chosŏn. The three cases this study presents all reveal the depth of Koreans’ engagement with the story of Guo Ziyi and their attachment to the values of loyalty, happiness, and comfort with which he is associated.
