ABSTRACT

The biggest difference between the Jangseogak and the Cheollidae versions of the 『Maeonghannok』 is a quantity of episodes that the former is composed of 146 episodes while the latter is composed of 261 ones. The Jangseogak version is a reduced edition which excludes 100 stories about review, discussion, family of the author, Yanghan Park, and contradictory contents to ethics in the Joseon era from the Cheollidae version. This is because the author considered realistic and interesting stories as important. The 『Maeonghannok』 is set in the Joseon era from 1677 to 1746 when Yanghan Park was alive, and deals with people and anecdotes of people of the time. The Cheollidae version is chronicled, and volume one includes the upper classes' morality, thoughts and metaphysical aims, whereas volume two does stories of lower classes, rebels and life of upper classes. However, the Jangseogak version places the stories in the volume two of the Cheollidae version at the beginning. In addition, it is out of chronicle sequences of the stories. This has a more effect on interest of realistic stories than the reviews. The Jangseogak version has common stories with the Cheollidae version, but it hows some differences. First, it attenuates realism by deleting or shortening names and positions, and escapes from argument by deleting reviews. Second, it concentrates interest on specific stories and context by deleting less important and necessary stories, and by joining several stories or dividing one story into several ones. Third, it intends clarification of subject by deleting, replacing and inverting phrases. To sum up, the Jangseogak version seems to shift from recorded literature aimed facts and explanation to narrative literature aimed interest and context as important though it is dissimilar to the Cheollidae version in quantity, order and content of the stories. Meanwhile, the Cheollidae is the earliest and superior version while other copies of the 『Maeonghannok』 are modified or summarized. It contains the largest number of stories and personal circumstances and feelings. Also, it remains intact, whereas other copies have some errors in phrase and context by the changes.
