This paper studies Hakgajeungbobjeongdongui, the newly discovered parting record by Seokbuk Sin Gwang-su, by examining Sin Gwang-su’s life and poetry as well as Hakgajeungbobjeongdongui’s bibliography and content. Sin Gwang-su (1712-1775)’s family clan was Goryeong, his courtesy name Seongyeon, and his pen name Seokbuk or O-ahksanin. He passed the jinsa in the 26th year of King Yeongjo’s reign (1750). In the 48th year of King Yeongjo’s reign (1772) he received the highest score in the girojeongsi and subsequently became donnyeongbudojeong and Yeongwol busa. In the 51st year of King Yeongjo’s reign (1775), he was given the responsibility of ubuseungji. He died the same year at the age of 64. Sin Gwang-su was a representative poet of the Southern faction in late Joseon, with Yi Heon-gyeong naming him “Siho.” He was especially skilled at gwasi and akbu, writing Gwansanyungma and Gwanseoakbu, with 16 volumes and 8 books of Seokbukjib and 1 book of Seokbukgwasijib remaining. Sin Gwang-su wrote the parting record Hakgajeungbobjeongdongui in the 40th year of King Yeongjo’s reign (1764) to express the sadness of parting when Beobjeong Jeong Beom-jo returned east. The handwritten version is neatly written., and the writing in Book 8 of Seokbukjib is thought to have been partly revised at the time the anthology was made. The specimens of handwriting measure 26 cm vertically and 37.5 cm horizontally. The handwritten version has 14 lines, with 2 lines for the subtitle, 11 lines for the body, and the word “Seokbuksaeng” at the end which show that Sin Gwang-su is the author and the penman. Seokbuk adeptly wrote the small script semi-cursive style and the cursive style, both of which are characteristics of “sohaengbancho.” His semi-cursive and cursive style closely resembles that of Wang Xizhi among the chunhuagetie method, yet retains Seokbuk’s own individuality. A comparison of Seokbuk’s handwritten original record and his work in the anthology reveal firstly, that the original record has no title while the latter was given the title of “Hakgajeungbobjeongdongui.” Second, there are revisions to the subtitle and the content. Third, the poem is a 12-stanza 23-line heptasyllabic poem but Line 17 has six syllables. Line 1 to Line 6 has the character “yak” as the rhyming character in the entering tone, while Line 7 to Line 23 has the character “ji” as the rhyming character in the neutral tone. The heptasyllabic poem is divided into three paragraphs content-wise. This study will be used hereafter in the most basic studies of private records as well as in those of bibliography, record management, history and Korean language.

This study analyzes on the Yeokdaemyeonggam from the Catholic University of Daegu Library. The major findings are as follows: (1) Yeokdaemyeonggam(歷代明鑑) is a kind of record book which contains exemplary words and behaviors of persons in the Chinese dynasties to educate our sovereigns and loyal retainers, by revising and compiling several publications, Yeokdaegungam(歷代君鑑), Yeokdaesingam(歷代臣鑑) and Jehanghubimyeonggam(帝王后妃明鑑), as original texts. Hong Gwi Dal(洪貴達), Gwon Geon(權健), and Seong Hyeon(成俔) completed a set of book as 27 volumes in December of the 5th year of King Yeonsan’s reign (1499). (2) Yeokdaemyeonggam is composed of three parts named Gungam(君鑑), Hubigam(后妃鑑) and Singam(臣鑑), and each part is subdivided into two sections, ‘good manners’ and ‘bad manners’, based on characteristics of the contents. The section ‘good manners’ contains records on 214 persons of 32 Chinese dynasties, likewise, the section ‘bad manners’ includes notes on 107 persons of 27 Chinese dynasties. (3) Yeokdaemyeonggam was last published with the First Cast of Gapinja Type(初鑄甲寅字) in the 6th year of King Yeonsan’s reign (1500), and there was no additional edition after then. As the King Yeonsan was dethroned, it might be avoided to compile publications which had been produced at the periods of his reign. (4) According to analyzing the copies of Yeokdaemyeonggam owned by the Gwangsan Kim’s Yeanpa Family(光山金氏禮安派宗家) and the Catholic University of Daegu Library, the entire full text of the book can be confirmed except for the lost parts from vol.5 to vol.7. (5) The copy of Yeokdaemyeonggam owned by the Catholic University of Daegu Library preserves the main text of the section on ‘good manners’, as well as the 87 articles on the 10 emperors of 3 Chinese dynasties included in Volume 4, which is the lost volume of the copy owned by the Gwangsan Kim Yeanpa Family (which has already been designated a National Treasure). The copy also contains the record and seal impression denoting that the copy was bestowed by King Yeonsan to Yi Goeng(李浤) in March of the 8th year of King Yeonsan’s reign (1502). For these reasons, the copy holds significant value. (6) The copy of Yeokdaemyeonggam owned by the Catholic University of Daegu Library holds significant value warranting a Local Cultural Property designation and further research, maintenance, and preservation in the future, for the following reasons: the copy provides the lost texts from the Yeokdaemyeonggam copy that was previously designated as a National Treasure; it is a copy bestowed by King Yeonsan; the copy was printed using the metal types in the early Joseon period; and the history of its inheritance and the place where it is held can be clearly certified.

This paper is to examine printing culture of Wanyeong in the 17th century to 18th century using 112 kinds of books listed in the 14 categories of Chekpan Mokrok, and to search for the variety of Wanyeong printing. The findings can be summarized as follows. First, this paper discusses the trend of Wanyeong printing culture in the 17th and 18th centuries. While 39 kinds of Wanyeong printing were published in the 17th century, 73 kinds of it were published in the 18th century, a huge increase. In the 17th century, most of Wanyeong books were collections of works of specific writers. But, in the next century, various kinds of books were published in various fields. In particular, publication of personal collections of works increased in the 1680s mainly because of publication of such books by dignitaries of the Noron Faction appointed as Governors of Jeolla provinces in the 17th century. In the 18th century, publication of such books increased in the 1710s and 1770s. However, except for the cases where such books were published by the royal order, publication of such books by private scholars began to increase in the latter part of the 17th century until the early part of the 18th century. But, from that time, the number of such books kept decreasing, disappearing since the mid-18th century. Because of that, publication of anthologies by big families and seowon became active. And, high government officials would publish their collections of works using metal types. Next, this paper deals with variety of printing culture using Wanyeong printing. Jachitonggam, Jujadaejeon, and Dongeuibogam are representative books printed by Wanyeong. Since they were published by the royal order in the 17th century, they were repeatedly reprinted afterwards. Book prints have been kept up to now. But, there has been no research on when, in what situations, and how those books were printed. It is expected that if the findings of this research about the situations where those books were published are connected with remaining wood blocks, they will provide various sources on Wanyeong printing culture.

Kim, Yumi | 2017, (70) | pp.145~174 | number of Cited : 7

In the prehistoric times, communication and cultural succession had been carried out mainly through word of mouth and objects before letters were created. Although the origins of the East Asian characters cannot be found exactly, they can be assumed as the original forms of Hadonakseo(河圖洛書), Gyeolseung(結繩), Seogye(書契) and Palgwae(八卦). Since those types of letters were created, history could be recorded in East Asia. Sangseo(尙書), which is regarded as the origin of prose having historical text, is the oldest official document and the oldest Confucian classic book in the East Asia. It has been studied in many countries from ancient times to the present. Because it is worthy of being the oldest record having the origins of the ancient people and nations of East Asia, the studies of Sangseo have been performed in various fields, such as philosophy, history, linguistics, archeology and bibliography in Korea, China and Japan, etc. The bibliographical study on the authenticity of the historical statement with the existing literature of Sangseo has been done in China, and the study on the different versions and commentaries of Sangseo has been performed in Japan. However, only philosophy, history, and linguistics have been studied in Korea. Due to this, the bibliographical study on the formation and variation of Sangseo has not been considered yet. In this research paper, the origin and the information of different versions and commentaries of Sangseo were studied. In addition, the history of imported and printed books of Sangseo, which has authorized collections of commentaries, such as Sangseojeongui(尙書正義) of Tang Dynasty, Seojibjeon(書集傳) of Song Dynasty, Seojeondaejeon(書傳大全) of Ming Dynasty and Sangseojuso (尙書注疏) of Qing Dynasty, was been studied for the comparative studies between Korea and other countries in East Asia.

PDF

This study consists of investigation and analysis of records of Sasojeol(士小節) of Lee Duck-moo’s related to dress and ornaments which was dealt with in Bueui(婦儀) and Donggyu(童規) and furthermore, comparative analysis of the contents and records related to dress and ornaments including Sajeon(士典). This study leads to the finding of records related to dress ornaments from 6.7% of Sajeon, 17.24% of Bueui, and 16.92% of Donggyu and from 96 paragraphs (10.5%) of total 914 paragraphs in Sasojeol. In terms of terms related to records related to dress and ornaments, Sajeon has more terms related to dress, while Bueui and Donggyu have more terms related to ornaments. In terms of quotations, all of Sajeon, Bueui and Dongyu quoted Yegi(禮記) and Shigyeong(詩經), presenting the episodes and teachings of persons. As a result of analysis of records related to dress and ornaments, while Sajeon emphasize the importance of dress and ornaments in terms of etiquette and face saving, while attaching importance on the basic manners and attitude, Bueui advises on the detachment from popular trend and luxury and advice on housewives’ job to do and importance of teaching their sons and daughters proper dress and ornament codes as part of their domestic upbringing. Dongyu touches on the problems related to dress codes which were affected by lack of education for children and kite flying, while stressing the importance of dress and ornaments in terms of peer relationship, education, behavior and conduct. Overall, the records related to dress and ornaments in Sasojeol provided us with a glimpse of Duck-moo Lee’s view on minor manners for scholars, housewives, and their children and a glance at aspects of the manners of those days. It is hoped that this study will be utilized as basic references for the related researchers’ future studies.

The purpose of this study is to expand the boundary of Korean studies by paying attention to Korean, Chinese, and Japanese commentaries on the Buddhist texts written by Koreans. This is because the study on the East Asian commentaries on Korean Buddhist literatures can broden the scope of Korean studies in that Korean Buddhism extends its scope through Korean, Chinese, and Japanese commentaries of Korean Buddhist literatures and its extended domain continues to spread through various speculation. This article introduces the commentaries of 11 Koreans (9 Silla, 1 Koryeo, 1 Chosun) surveyed to date, and in particular, focusing on Bosatsukaihonshuyousho(菩薩戒本宗要鈔), a commentary on Taehyun (太賢)’s Bosalgyebonjongyo(菩薩戒本宗要, hereafter Jongyo), I examined the expansion and significance of Korean studies. Jongyo is the document which became the standard of the practice together with Beommanggyeonggojeoggi (梵網經古迹記) in Japan which places emphasis on the bodhisattva precepts. This point can be seen from the fact that the Taehyun was regarded more important even though there were many characters before him such as Zhiyi(智顗), Fazang(法藏) in China and Wonhyo(元曉), Uijeog(義寂) in Silla dynasty. This shows that Taehyun’s interpretation of Beommanggyeong was important in the understandins of bodhisattva precepts in Japan. It is presumed that Jongyo was handed over to China soon after it was written and it was handed to Japan as well at the time of Beommanggyeonggojeoggi’s passing to Japan. In China, since Daofong (道峯)’s preface had been attached, the significance of Taehyun is highlighted and Jongyo with the preface was brought to Japan again. Thereafter more than nine kinds of annotations on Jongyo with Daofong’s preface were written in Japan. On the other hand, there are three kinds of commentaries on Jongyo without Daofong’s preface. In this way, Jongyo was spread widely in Japan and the fact that Taehyun was highly appreciated in China could be one reason for this situation. This is an example of expanding the scope of Korean Buddhism by the process in which Jongyo, a Korean Buddhist literature was appreciated in China and Japan, and many commentaries were written as well in China and Japan.

This study examined Parksang’s (1474∼1530) set of books as an example about correcting the printed wood-piece while publishing its own set of books in later period of Chosun dynasty. Nuljaejib was published four times based in Honam area which it was first published in 1547 in Geumsan, then Gwangsan(1694), Wanyoung(1796), and Gwangju(1843). Every assigned examiners led the publication, and especially, This study’s main topic Nuljaejib was published in 1843 in Gwangju by Heonjong ordering to Gwangju Moksa Cho Cheulyoung after it was burned in Gwangju Myungyoondang in 1841. For this study, the proofs of Nuljaejib and printed wood and the final copy were contrasted. We confirmed the corrected image of the printed wood and its procedures were confirmed according to the correcting instructions of the proofs, and organized its procedures by figuring out how it was reflected on the printed copy. 16 volumes of 6 books of the book combined with each piece of proofs of Nuljaejib is kept at Kyungbuk University Central Library, and 200 printed woods that are donated by Chungju Park family are kept in Gwangju Minicipal Folk Museum. Although fixing the error of the engraver form a state in the printing process, it was confirmed that there are a lot of corrections to be made in the process of confirming the final copy. Also, correcting the missed number of strokes occurred the most with 87%. An important thing to remember when proofreading Nuljaejib printed wood is the way of correcting abnormal letters inappropriate with the rule of writing. Abnormal letters occurred due to engraver’s lack of understanding of letters which requires second most corrections after correcting the missed number of strokes. From this, it is known that understanding the form of letter is one of the important requirements that engraver of the printed wood must have.

Nam kwon-heui , Kim, Sung-Soo , Fujimoto Yukio | 2017, (70) | pp.295~335 | number of Cited : 5

PDF

This study distinguishes private manuscript edition of 「Daedongyeojido(大東輿地圖)」 from other editions in bibliographic point of view in four aspects. First, the 「Daedongyeojido」 personal collection is consisted of 22 printing blocks, identical with 「Daedongyeojido」 woodblock Shinyoo and Gapja edition. 22 printing blocks are foldable square packs. Geographical names, natural terrains and historical records are transcribed and all regulatory regions are colored different. Seond, this private 「Daedongyeojido」 copied the title, publication date and proofreading records of the original author, Kim Jeong Ho from woodblock 「Daedongyeojido」. However, both ‘Chuljongsipinyunshinyoo (哲宗十二年辛酉)’ in publication date and noting Youngjo(英祖) as Youngjong(英宗: 英祖) in ‘Ulleugdo(鬱陵島) and Dokdo(獨島)’ part implies that this individual 「Daedongyeojido」 had transcribed around Gojong(高宗) period, range from 1864 to 1889. Third, The author of this personal 「Daedongyeojido」 had augmented detailed description of Myun(面), which is a kind of administrative district to 1,500 cases and some of the cases even include Eup(邑), Lee(里) and Dong(洞). Natural grounds, public and private buildings like insular areas, mountains, river, hills, castles, palaces, towers et al are written down on the private 「Daedongyeojido」. Moreover, it depicts history of the specific region and historical figures and events. Fourth, based on geographical features like road networks and government quarters, this 「Daedongyeojido」 contains 2,000 more records compared with other types of manuscript 「Daedongyeojido」, and the author had associated historical events with relics like castles and palaces. Thus, it can be assumed that this private manuscript 「Daedongyeojido」 had been printed by central government organizations with obvious object which is to make use of it as a map, as well as a book of geographic information.
