ABSTRACT

Bongraesuchangrok is a collection of poems and paintings containing 35 sheets of paper. It was arranged by Dongraebu Magistrate Seokmyeong Cho in March of the lunar calendar, 1725 and includes poetry with paintings the Magistrate and his acquaintances recited in Dongraebu. On the opening page of the collection are large characters, Bongrae and Suchang by Diplomat Seong Hong, which is followed by Dongraebuchido, preface by Seokyou Cheong from Seongju and Jaesa, introductory remarks whose title is known by. In the body part of the collection, 55 poems by Seokmyeong Cho, Seokyou Cheong, Seong Hong, Junmyeong Cho and Monk Jonggak of Boemeo Temple were transcribed in the semicursive style of writing by JungGwan Lee. At the end was a postface by Seong Hong. In 1725 (King Youngjo 1st year), Dongraebu Magistrate Seokmyeong Cho was thinking of withdrawing from his office of Dongrae. He made the collection for recalling the experiences in Dongrae later and hoping that offsprings of 4 families involved would read it. Dongraebichido is especially noticeable in Bongraesuchangrok. While most known pictures of Dongraebu at this time are with the latter part settings of Dongrae Eupsung, this picture in Bongraesuchangrok reflects the time before EonSeop Cheong built the latter part settings of Dongrae Eupsung in 1731. Moreover, it was verified that governmental facilities and space arrangement in the picture are considerably accurate and realistic. There is a very strong possibility that the picture Dongraebuchido was produced by Muimhwasa in Dongraebu, given the fact that described governmental facilities are in great detail; the painting style of Muimwhasa in Dongraebu in the 18th century is shown; its orderer is Dongraebu Magistrate. This paper covers overall contents of Bongraesuchangrok with a bibliography. This collection is a very historical source not only for checking a poem recitation in Dongrae and the background of producing the collections of poems and paintings, but also for discovering new Dongrabuhwasa.
