ABSTRACT

I examined the features of the female character anecdote in a book written by Miam(眉巖) Yu Hui-chun(柳希春) during his exile, and revealed its significance and limitations. Compared with 『Sok-Monggu(續蒙求)』 and 『Monggu(蒙求)』, some differences are found in the way it chooses woman characters and embodies the theme. As a result, in the choice of female character anecdotes, only exemplary words and deeds of the upper-class women in China history are found in 『Sok-Monggu(續蒙求)』. And in 『Sok-Monggu(續蒙求)』, its theme was intended to present an ideal female image that conformed to the Confucian worldview. This is the difference from the point that『Monggu(蒙求)』 chooses anecdotes of women of various status, not just women of the upper class in China, and also at a point that 『Monggu(蒙求)』 describes a woman who has committed an evil deed in the anecdote.
