AB - This study is an approach to lyricism of Hyangga through the concept of memory. The memory is a conscious behavior of human being and a motive of creating lyrics. The historical features of Hyangga could be appeared with memory approach attended to various subjects, objects, and conditions of memory in each age.
In Wonwangsaengga the religious wish is expressed through which the poetic speaker makes the happening of this time and space to be memory and brings the memory of long time ago to this time. The speaker believes rebirth in Nirvana with showing the series of memory of himself, the moon and the Amitabha. In Mojukjirangga poetic thoughts are developed with tensed relation between past good memories and today sorrowful situations. In spite of anxious situations, the speaker has a conviction to be relieved by his chief on the base of past memories. The memory of this poem has a feature of social relations in Shilla dynasty.
In Wonga the poetic speaker wants king’s mind to turn toward himself with memories of particular and routine happenings. In order to be reinstated he deals with memories of promise of political relations. In Changiparangga it is proclaimed that people cherishing the memory of Hwarang’s leader get the rising above the world to Nirvana as their idea of life. The speaker makes the memory of leader’s last words to become a corrective memory and to be idea of the age.
Wonwangsaengga and Changiparangga have religious and ideal features, Mojukjirangga and Wonga have social, political ones. Comparing that transcendental wills are appeared in those poems, problems of relation between individuals or groups are figured in these. With this we could know that themes of vow and faithfulness would be cultural memory of Shilla society.
In four poems memories are figured with various ways fitted each works. There are the ways of getting memorial eternity and making memories in Wonwangsaengga, tension between past and present and belief based on memory in Mojukjirangga, raising a question of memorial consistency and expending of memories in Wonga, finding out memorial traces and concentration of memories in Changiparangga, The lyricism of Hyangga is intensified by figuration of memory. Themes of wish for the rebirth in Nirvana, desire to be relieved by belonged group, recovery of promise which is broken, making memory to be idea through cherishing are versified by figuration of memories. Also figures of a sincere prayer, solidarity of Hwarang and Nangdo, intimacy of sovereign and subject, will of succession to master’s idea have been made explicitly. And poetic thoughts are structured by the ways of making memories, expending of memories, and concentration of memories.
With these ways consciousness and feelings, images and atmospheres are figured in Hyangga poems. So we could confirm that the lyricism would intensified by memories to working in themes, images and structures of lyrics.
