This article was made public with the theme of <Classical Literature and university's liberal arts education: Focusing on development of classical literature's liberal arts courses> sponsored by the Korea Society of Classical Studies and was paid attention to the Chinese literature field among them. The history of liberal arts education of universities gets together with the acceptance of Modern Western learning systems and the classical literature also became to settle down as a liberal arts course of Korean literature. In this point, although it is regarded that Chinese literature would go through a similar process in a viewpoint of literature, the reality is not like that. First, Chinese literature with the history of two thousand years was disposed due to strengthening of a phase of its own language for establishment of a modern national state, but while the department of Chinese characters education was established at universities in the early half of 1970s with the interest of Chinese literature's heritage in the latter half of 1960s, the education of a Sino-Korean subject was carried out and could be also settled down as university's liberal arts. In addition, Chinese literature has characteristics keeping a phase of humanities called as “literature․history․philosophy” without stopping as literature that simply used Chinese characters as notation means. It means that characteristics of Chinese literature like this should together consider a semantic network called Chinese characters's cultural area of East Asia matured with the sentence of statecraft. In addition, the education of Chinese characters as university's liberal arts didn't properly get an opportunity capable of considering these characteristics and a semantic network while going through a process of colony, the Korean War, Juntas, democratization and neoliberalism. At this time, people have a new understanding that liberal arts capable of being defined as communication means for mutual understanding of human beings are Chinese literature as humanities of East Asia including “literature․history․philosophy” and need to devote ourselves to frank worries and efforts on classical literature as university's liberal arts in addition to Chinese literature from now on.

The objective of this study was to find metaphoric expressions related to women in <Sinyeoseong>, to classify them by male and female writers,and to examine whether sexist consciousness is reflected in the metaphoric expressions. With socio-cultural changes in the early 20th century, women’s voice for freedom was lifted and inspired women stood up and went out into the society. For the women who attended school,had a job and experienced a life totally different from the past, the society gave the title ‘new women’but its evaluation of such women was double-sided. Their names were enlisted as leaders who would lead the future of Korea, but at some moment, they were undervalued as a group of useless vanity. This study reviewed these views using the texts of <Sinyeoseong>, which led discourses on new women in those days. We first restructured the social situation in those days based on vocabulary system ‘male + X’ and ‘female + X’ and found that various terms were coined with women’s participation in social activities but women could not enjoy a secure social position as evidenced by their remaining in the a biased ‘female+X’ form. This phenomenon was also found in theresult of analyzing women-related metaphoric expressions collected from women writers’ articles in <Sinyeoseong>. That is, from metaphors such as [Women are servants], [Women are dolls] and [Women are playthings],we can infer that women in those were still under the old system of feudalistic order. Of course, these views had to be shared with male intellects who led modern discourses in those days, and for this reason,the same metaphoric expressions were also observed in some maleintellects’ writings. As shown by the fact that male intellects clamored for women’s economic independence only in word but were not active in establishing social systems, however, there was a difference, though insignificant, between male and female writers. This study believes that the difference reflects their sexual difference and it explains why women showed more advanced thoughts than men.

Korean universities were reorganized during 1950's as a modernistic system. Then the department of Korean Language and Literature were divided into three parts; Korean classical(pre-modern) literature, Korean modern literature, and Korean language. Especially the part of premodern literature began to make its own identity with a series of reading class regarding classical texts and also began to demand the unique academic ability of literacy on the classical texts. The most basic step to approach the research on the classical literature was the analysis on the text; What is the original text or authentic text? Which text is the prior text? and What is the canon most of all? Such process implied some problematic academic issues; selecting the text, possibility of approaching and using on the research materials, literacy regarding such classical text, expertise on the reading methodology regarding translation and interpretation and final decision on the canon, etc. The Korean old-type printed novels were the items which were red in reading class and also were researched to discern which was the original version prior text or canon. At that time such novels were reading amongst the public as a interesting popular books. However such genre of old-type printed novels regarded as classics according to being regarded as textbooks in the university classes. They were endowed an academic position related a sort of change of cultural position. Originally the old-type printed novels had been considered as a vulgar popular genre, a sort of sub-culture or peripheral genre until 1950's. However such text began to treated as research objects in the university class by the professors and lecturers. Through such process, Korean old-type printed novels were regarded as classical genre, different from the peripheral popular ones. Finally, they got to be called as the classics. A lot of professors and researchers contributed some classical texts in the academic journals, literature magazines and the other periodicals as form of photoprints and original texts with notes and annotations. The public readers began to considered such texts tributed in the contemporary periodicals. In short, the research on the premodern texts began to bring the power which made them to be considered as classics amongst the university students and public readers through the professors's lecture of reading class and contributions for the periodicals. The public could such text as a sort of classical novels with translation versions or with annotations. Finally the such text began to be considered canon with literary-historical orthodoxy.
