ABSTRACT

The comparative literature of Korea and China was an important research methodology in Korean-Chinese and Korean literary and academic circles. However, the fact that Korean literature in Chinese lies between them should not be overlooked. Korean literature in Chinese has a separate existential value from Chinese literature and is mostly influenced by indigenized Korean texts in Chinese rather than directly influenced by Chinese literature. Therefore, on the basis of the belief that a comparative study between Korean literature in Chinese and Korean literature would be more valuable than the comparative literature of Korea and China, the methodology of Korean-Chinese comparative literature will be emphasized. The present study will clarify the necessity of Korean-Chinese comparative literature and, as a specific practical example, will illustrate the formation process of Sijo literature through Lee Hyeon-bo's Eobuga (songs of fishermen) and Danga (a short song). Lee Hyeon-bo's Eobuga and Danga cannot be valued highly in terms of quantity, but they are of very important significance in the history of Sijo literature. The unsophisticated language, unrefined style, and Chinese poetic words are still imperfect aspects of Sijo. Nevertheless, the features of early Sijo literature that can be seen in the nine chapters of Eobuga, five units of Eobudanga, and three volumes of lyrics have very important literary historical significance. To consider them an early form of Sijo literature is rather hasty; yet, it seems much more rational and empirical than vaguely assuming the genesis of Sijo to be the Goryeo dynasty. In the present study, the focus is on determining its validity through Eobuga by Nongam. Research on Sijo has been active so far, but there have been many misdirections and errors along the way. It is especially necessary to thoroughly review the concept, nature, genre stipulations, and origin of Sijo. Even though the space is limited, an attempt will be made to suggest a new direction to the study of Sijo literature by examining one aspect of the issues facing existing Sijo research through Nongam's work. It is expected to be a meaningful achievement of Korean-Chinese comparative literature.
