ABSTRACT

This paper reviews Hyangga works written in the reign of King Gyeongdeok, <Dosolga>, <Jemangmaega>, <Anminga>, and <Changiparangga>. <Dosolga> and <Anminga> are songs to fit the characteristics of Pyeonmok that they are contained in. By the way, <Jemangmaega> and <Changiparangga> are contained together. In existing discussions, the works were understood with a focus on their relation with the authors, Wolmyeongsa and Chungdamsa, and the songs, introduced together, also were treated with a focus on the authors. This paper examines <Dosolga> and <Anminga> with a focus on King Gyeongdeok who made the two songs written, rather than on the authors, and, based on it, considers the reason why <Jemangmaega> and <Changiparangga> were introduced, as well. Based on King Gyeongdeok, ‘Iilbyeonghyeon(二日竝現, two suns appearing in the sky)’, the motivation for creating <Dosolga>, could be seen as an expression related to the appearance of the royal lineage of King Naemul. Considering that, <Dosolga> could be understood as a political message that King Gyeongdeok sent to his subjects, as a result of derailing the appearance of the royal lineage of King Naemul with a political compromise. <Anminga> that is a song related to the birth story of King Hyegong is a message that King Gyeongdeok sent to his princes and subjects and shows that subjects should play a large role in the country's peace. In doing so, he intented to admonish his subjects. Ilyeon introduced <Jemangmaega> because Wolmyeongsa made ‘Iilbyeonghyeon’ disappeared but the process of creating <Dosolga>, by itself, didn’t correspond to Gamtong-pyeon. He dealt with <Jemangmaega> because he could supplement the story, insufficient for Gamtong-pyeon, by showing Wolmyeongsa’s faith through introducing the story that <Jemangmaega> was written. King Gyeongdeok mentioned <Changiparangga> in order to expect <Anminga> stressing subjects’ role from Chungdamsa. Therefore, by mentioning <Changiparangga>, King Gyeongdeok indirectly expressed what he wanted a song to Chungdamsa.
