AB - 『Baksochonhwa』 is a writing, in which Lee, Dong-yoon recorded the incidents he saw and heard with interest while living in the whole area of Chungcheong-do.
This paper, by taking note of the fact that 『Baksochonhwa』 includes the cultural history of Hoseo region & prominent figures’ deeds of the day exuberantly, aims to capture the new information about the women in this region as well.
First, this paper looked into the anecdote of the women who resolved the household meeting disaster which led to total eradication of the whole family with Sinimsahwa as the background. The anecdote makes it possible to know the appearance and deeds of Sadaebu women in detail, who managed a household for retaining life of their family, and coped with a crisis undauntedly at that time when a great many figures affiliated with Noron including Noron’s 4 high-ranking officials, such as Kim, Chang-jipㆍLee, Ie-myungㆍ Lee, Keon-myung, and Jo, Taechae, etc. met disaster.
Second, there are many records about the same village women, who put filial behavior and fidelity into practice, in 『Baksochonhwa』. Lee, Dong-yoon very minutely recorded a woman’s image with emphasis on fidelity, loyalty and filial behavior among the stories which he heard from local village people, or anecdotes coming down to his family. It’s learned that Lee, Dong-yoon attempted to make his recording of anecdotes of good deeds an example for a lesson of the world in later generations.
Third, Lee, Dong-yoon is diversely introducing anecdotes about a wise concubine, or a woman, whose academic capability and writing skills, were excellent. Referring to the literary talent & refinement, rhetorical embellishment and elegance of a high-born woman and an unknown woman of the same hometown, Lee, Dong-yoon seems to have acknowledged a woman’s independent talent as positive.
『Baksochonhwa』 can be judged as a writing of adequate cultural value in that this writing introduces more exuberant stories about regional women under circumstance where records about the woman in Hoseo region are not diverse.
