ABSTRACT

Chunhyangjeon, the story of Chunhyang, had been enjoyed as the popular novel and entertainment until 1910’s. But after 1920’s when the ‘literary for people’ was claimed and the scholars from Keijo Imperial University studied it, Chunhyangjeon became accepted as academic subject and classical novel. In those days, although different opinions had been held, the 84-page block book printed in Jeonju was recognized as the original and best text. The textbooks for high school made after liberation were affected by canon that had been consisted during Japanese colonial era, so Chunhyangjeon in the 84-page block book was regarded as the national classic until 1980’s. During that period textbooks contained the part of the story from ‘the departure of secret royal inspectors’ to ‘the chunhyang in prison’ because they set a high value on the resistance of people as the agent of history. However the text and the part of Chunhyangjeon was changed after 1990’s when the status of Chunhyangjeon as national classic has been weakened. Since 2000’s, Chunhyangjeon in textbook is contained not to show the national tradition but to show the cultural continuity. So now we are asked to reestablish the value of Chunhyangjeon.
