ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the specific contents of ‘Hwasheongsheongyeok’, a part of ‘Dyeongni-uigwe’, and compare them with the Classical Chinese version of Hwaseong-seongyeok-uigwe, based on the bibliographical analysis of the Korean version of ‘Dyeongni-uigwe’. ‘Hwasheongsheongyeok’ which is a part of the Hangul Uigwe is useful for understanding the patterns of translation from the original Chinese text into Hangul. It is because it provides rich information about how to write in Hangul the names of objects, places and other terms originally written in Chinese. Furthermore, it helps figure out the kinds and volumes of the original documents contained in and the original materials used to write the Hangul Uigwe. ‘Hwasheongsheongyeok’ is primarily useful as fundamental materials for the studies of bibliography and Korean history, and further for the research in diverse areas, including paleography, history, Chinese literature, and archival studies, based on its contents. In addition, it’s also valuable in that it can be used to check the new records of “Hwaseongseongyeok” not included along with the Hangul Eonhae of Hwaseong-seongyeog-uigwe, regarding the Suwon Hwaseong, the world cultural heritage of UNESCO. In the study, the researcher investigated the structure and contents of “Hwasheongsheongyeok”, and tried to organize a kind of the Hangul version of Hwaseong-seongyeog-uigwe by comparing them with the Chinese version of Hwaseong-seongyeog-uigwe, classifying the contents included in both versions, and identifyng the parts only contained in “Hwasheongsheongyeok.” Since it was not a complete book, only the parts which corresponded to the Chinese version are presented in the appendix of this study, according to the table of contents of the Chinese version.
