명종대(明宗代) 명(明) 사신 접반과 시문수창집 편찬 양상 -1567년 『황화집(皇華集)』과 『동사록(東槎錄)』을 중심으로-

초록

This thesis examines the role of sajang(詞章), which continued to be highly valued under the sixteenth-century ideal of munjang-hwaguk(文章華國), and explores the reception of Ming envoys in 1567 and the compilation of poetry exchange collections produced in that context. In 1567, to announce the accession of the Ming Emperor Mokjong(穆宗), Ming dispatched two Hanlin Academy scholars, Heo Gook(許國) and Wi Si-lyang(魏時亮), as diplomatic envoys to Joseon. In response, Joseon appointed Park Chung-won(朴忠元) as Wonjeopsa(遠接使), while Lee Hu-baek(李後白), Lee San-hae(李山海), and Ki Dae-seung(奇大升) served as Jongsagwan(從事官), taking charge of the diplomatic reception. Shortly after the reception began, however, news arrived that King Myeongjong had passed away. Consequently, the reception proceedings inevitably unfolded in a manner quite different from previous diplomatic missions. Despite these extraordinary circumstances, the bureaucratic tradition of demonstrating Joseon's literary accomplishment through poetic exchange and the compilation of literary collections continued without interruption. As a result, two poetry exchange collections that emerged from the reception of the Ming envoys — 『 Hwanghwajip(皇華集)』 and 『Dongsarok(東槎錄)』 — were compiled during this mission. These works vividly illustrate the sentiments of Joseon literati, who sought to reconcile the dual imperatives of ‘mourning their deceased monarch’ and ‘realizing the ideal of munjang-hwaguk(文章華國)’ amid the unprecedented circumstance of a state funeral occurring during the reception of Ming envoys. Even in the mid-sixteenth century, an era often characterized as the height of Neo-Confucian intellectual development, the cultural significance and practical value of sajang remained firmly intact and, indeed, appear to have been further reinforced.
