AB - This study investigates the bieo (批語, marginal notes) found in Dangjeolseonsan (唐絶選刪), an anthology of Chinese quatrains compiled by Heo Gyun, with the aim of clarifying both their authorship and critical character. Dangjeolseonsan is composed exclusively of five- and seven-character jeolgu selected from four earlier Chinese anthologies, reflecting a deliberate focus on the quatrain form. The sole extant manuscript is Heo Gyun’s personal copy, which contains 926 poems under 862 titles and includes over 300 bieo written in red ink.
These marginal notes consist of two main types: citations of poetic criticism by Chinese literati and independent evaluative remarks that display a distinct critical voice. Despite their importance, the authorship of the bieo—whether they were written by Heo Gyun himself or by another annotator—has remained unresolved. To address this issue, the present study conducts a comparative analysis of handwriting to authenticate authorship.
In addition, it examines the formal structure and thematic content of the bieo in order to elucidate the nature of Heo Gyun’s poetic criticism and to situate the work within the broader context of the reception of annotated Chinese poetry anthologies in mid-Joseon Korea.
The analysis demonstrates that the bieo in Dangjeolseonsan closely engage with the critical frameworks and evaluative practices developed in annotated poetic editions of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. At the same time, they reveal an active process of selection, reinterpretation, and judgment, suggesting that Heo Gyun did not merely transmit Chinese critical discourse but adapted it to articulate his own criteria of poetic value. This study thus repositions Dangjeolseonsan as a significant site of poetic criticism and cross-cultural literary reception in the mid-Joseon period.
