AB - Unyang( 雲陽) Kim Yu n -sik( 金允植, 1835–1922) was a bureaucrat-literatus associated with Dongdo Seogi(Eastern Ways, Western Technology) and a prominent writer whose political position has invited diverse interpretations. His sustained concern with Simu(current affairs) and his activities as a court literatus suggest that Gyeongse-ji-mun(essays on statecraft and governance) constituted a significant dimension of his prose. This study examines the narrative characteristics of his Juui-ryu prose(memorials to the throne) in relation to his theory of prose and explores how his political perceptions were articulated through writing.
Kim highly valued Gyeongse-ji-mun, regarding Juui-ryu prose as both a source of historical and political knowledge and a model for literary composition. His criticism emphasized valid arguments, logical coherence, persuasive rhetoric, and candid expression. These principles are exemplified in Samjeong-chaek, whose direct language, forceful rhetoric, and reformist arguments address contemporary problems. His memorials of the 1880s likewise justified policy decisions through a keen understanding of Sise(state of the times), while carefully structured discussions strengthened their persuasive force. His Sajik-so(resignation memorials) and Jayeol-so(self-explanation memorials) further combined autobiographical accounts of official service with political self- justification, strategically employing Jeongri(human emotion and reason) as a persuasive logic in bureaucratic discourse.
