ABSTRACT

This paper is the first study about Yun-ssi-jagirok(윤시ᄌᆞ긔록) written by Haepyeong-Yun-ssi(해평윤씨) that is transcribed in Hangul and possessed in the Hwaseong Municipal Folk Museum. Yun-ssi-jagirok is a self-narrative written by a Yangban woman in the nineteenth century which is handed down in Pungyang(豊壤) Jo(趙) family having lived in Hwaseong for generations. While the author of Yun-ssi-jagirok describes her life in chronological sequence, the narrative structures of it include 'comparison of her fortunate and unfortunate events.' The writing expresses her sadness and loneliness by describing a daily life of her own family and quoting her monologues directly. Moreover, the writer accepts some writing styles of Gasa and quotes some lines of it. Although Haepyeong-Yun-ssi's self identity was very similar to that of women of her time regulated by Sam-jong-ji-do(三從之道), it is distinctive that she puts her filial duty before her wifely duty in the writing. The writer wrote Yun-ssi-jagirok to provide the meaning of her own life and to identify several reasons why she did not kill herself even after her husband's death to her descendants.
