ABSTRACT

『Yeok-eoyuhae』 and 『Bang-eonyuseok』 are representative classification lexicon published in Joseon in the 17th and 18th centuries, and are important literature materials for studying the vocabulary and pronunciation of modern Chinese. In this paper, the cultural vocabulary contained in 『Yeok-eoyuhae』 and 『Bang-eonyuseok』 was divided into meanings and types, and the vocabulary and its changing aspects were identified. I also looked at the cultural image of the Qing Dynasty which was reflected in the cultural vocabulary. The main contents of this study can be divided as follows. First, investigation and arrangement of cultural vocabulary in 『Yeok-eoyuhae』 and 『Bang-eonyuseok』 were carried out. Cultural vocabulary was divided into food culture vocabulary, clothing culture vocabulary, residential culture vocabulary, commercial culture vocabulary, profanity culture vocabulary, etc. Second, modern Chinese cultural vocabulary classification and analysis were performed. Vocabularies of 『Yeok-eoyuhae』 and 『Bang-eonyuseok』, which are divided into categories by cultural meaning, were classified by detailed meaning, and classification and analysis were carried out according to the word construction method. Third, based on 『Hong-lu-mong』, I explored the cultural image of China in the Qing dynasty. By referring to the papers that studied artistic characteristics and cultural value of 『Hong-lu-mong』, I investigated what kind of era and cultural image the corresponding cultural vocabulary reflects. Through the discussion in this paper, it is hoped that a wide range of research on the cultural vocabulary contained in 『Yeok-eoyuhae』 and 『Bang-eonyuseok』 can be conducted, and furthermore, this study can serve as a basis for making classification lexicon accessible from various perspectives.
