ABSTRACT

Exchange between Korean and Chinese literati in the late Chosun Dynasty was developed largely in three trends. The trends are exchange as distant friendship, exchange for cultural communication, and exchange of academic nature. Hong Dae-yong, Yoo Deuk-gongㆍPark Je-ga, and Kim Jeong-hee are, respectively, the representative figures of the three trends. This study focused on the exchange between the diplomatic mission to Yenching in 1828 and Qing poet Jang Je-ryang. This exchange was made after the transition of the central axis from friendship and literature to arts and culture. This case was an accidental and isolated exchange. When illuminated with poems left by Jang Je-ryang and records on the travel to Yenching written by the Chosun diplomatic mission, their association was very unique and noteworthy in the history of Korean-Chinese cultural exchange in the 19th century. Jang Je-ryang, who attracted the attention of Chusa Kim Jeong-hee, attached a special meaning to the meeting with the Chosun mission and expressed his feelings in poetry. Leaving Beijing, he wrote a long free verse titled Sabyeolsi. In the poem, he described his friendship with the Chosun mission by writing ‘Byeolsa’ separately in addition to ‘Byeolsa,’ ‘Byeolu’ and ‘Byeolbok.’ He overcame the conventionality of poems written in social associations and those for farewell through borrowing the long breath of free verses and exposing his thoughts exhaustively. In addition, through Jang Je-ryang’s records, this paper found that the authors of Buyeonilgi and Seohaengrok, which have been anonymous, are Lee Jae-heup and Geum Ro-sang, respectively.
