ABSTRACT

Dong Mun Seon(東文選) not only contains a large number of Korean ancient literature that is difficult to find in Koryo(高麗) Dynasty and its previous period of poetry and prose works, but also helps to study the literary styles and genres and their development trends and characteristics in ancient Korea. Dong Mun Seon is a collection of selected poetry and prose works according to the style of articles. It divides the ancient poetry and prose works of Korea into 48 styles. Its genre classification and arrangement method are mainly influenced by the collection of articles in Chinese history represented by Wen Xuan(文選). The genre classification and arrangement method of Dong Mun Seon is generally similar to that of Chinese anthologies, which undoubtedly comes from the affirmation and acceptance of the compilation style of these Chinese anthologies by the editors of Dong Mun Seon. Dong Mun Seon classifies all kinds of selected poetry and prose, and collects works in a certain order. Such classification and collection is beneficial to the actual arrangement of a large number of poetry and prose works, and can fully reflect the editors' deep understanding of genre classification. Generally speaking, the genre classification of Dong Mun Seon is influenced by the collection of traditional Chinese articles and its genre theory, and has its own unique classification characteristics. His anthology accepted the traditional compilation method of “set up the genre according to the text(因文而立體)” represented by the anthology of Wen Xuan, and the genre classification of ancient Korean poetry and prose was generally based on the actual creation of domestic writers. At the same time, there is also a situation of “recording the text according to the style(因體而錄文)” in the selection of Dong Mun Seon.
