ABSTRACT

Koryo Kingdom (AD. 918~1392) succeeded the culture of Shilla Kingdom internally and exchanged culture with China on an equal footing externally. In particular, their contacts with the Chinese culture facilitated a smooth introduction of the Chinese culture, and as a result, the Chinese literature prospered in Koryo. According to the literature, 'lyric' or a sort of lyric literature representing Sung China was introduced during this period only to influence the Chinese literature in Korea. The existing "Collection of the Korea Literary Works" feature a total of 663 works written by nation's major figures from Three Kingdoms period until 1910. According to the surveys so far, 'lyric' works are carried in 85 works of the collection. Professor Cha Joo hwan earlier introduced 421 lyrics written by the literati class during Korea Kingdom and Chosun dynasty. and since then, scholars have identified 1,250 lyrics written by 171 authors. According to the literature, lyric of Koryo Kingdom was introduced from China first in 1073, and in 1089 a king of Koryo wrote a song with a lyric. Later for about 3 hundred years, some 30 writers produced some 150 lyric works only to conduce to establishment of a new lyric system in Koryo kingdom. The study, a basic comparative research into Koryo and China lyrics, reviews how the Chinese lyrics were introduced to the kingdom and how they were accommodated there to develop into Koryo lyrics. Namely, this study focused on 4 aspects of Koryo lyrics: introduction of the Chinese lyrics, creation of Koryo lyrics and their characteristics and the challenges for future studies. Data about and researches into Koryo lyrics have been collected and conducted over the last 40 years, recording a remarkable academic achievement. Lastly, it is hoped that this study will be followed up by future studies collecting further data and analyzing the literary characteristics of their texts.
