ABSTRACT

This paper is the first to introduce to the academic circles Seonggorok (城 皐錄), which was compiled and rearranged by Yi Hyeong-sang (1653-1733, pen-name Byeongwa) during his lifetime. This material has been selected from the works written in Yeongcheon from 1701 to 1723 and contains two proses and 161 pieces of verse. Of them, the works worthy of note are “Seonggojeongsagi,” “Seonggogugok,” and “Juyuseo.” By reading “Seonggojeongsagi,” we can figure out more concretely the image of the Hoyeonjeong Pavilion, which was managed by Byeongwa, and in “Seonggogugok,” we can see that it inherited the ‘Eobusa’ and ‘Gugok’ tradition of Nongam and Toegye in the Joseon Dynasty, which was influenced by “Wuyi Zhao Ge (武夷櫂歌, Boat Songs of Wuyi)” by Zhu Xi. “Juyuseo” is a record of boating with a total of 42 people, including Byeongwa’s “simsanoro (深山五老),” his students, and Neo-Confucian scholars in the region in July 1723. These works are important data for the study of Byeongwa because they reveal the life and thoughts of Byeongwa in Yeongcheon. In addition, the issue of Byeongwa-related data can be possibly raised once again in that “Seonggojeongsagi” and “Juyuseo” are not included in the wooden version of Byeongwa-seonsaeng-jip (A Collection of Master Byeongwa).
