17세기 초 문관출신 명사(明使) 접반(接伴)과 한중(韓中) 문학교류 = Literary Interchange between Ming and Chosun through Envoys in the Early Seventeenth Century

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Literary interchange between Chosun and Ming during the early Seventeenth century was investigated with an emphasis on the interaction with Ming`s envoys visiting Chosun. Documents on the visits in the years 1602, 1606, and 1609 reveal active literary interaction between diplomatic personnels who were also leading in the literature in each country. In 1602, when Gu Tian Jun(顧天峻) and Cui Ting Jian(崔廷健) from Ming entered Chosun as the first envoys after the Imjin War(Invasion of Korea by the Japanese in 1592), Chosun provided a group of the best literary writers for the reception and guiding them to the capital city. At this time, there was not an active literary interchange between two countries`s envoys but those writers of Chosun utilized the chance to exchange their improvised works. As a result, 12 years later, they published a collection of those poetry, in which they showed their proudness of their literary talents and gathering through the collection. Instead of Ming`s envoys, their attendants who were interested in the literature were involved in the interchange to a certain degree. In 1606, Zhu Zhi Fan(朱之蕃) and Liang You Nian(梁有年) from Ming triggered the largest literary interchange between two countries so far. Zhu Zhi Fan continued the interaction by introducing Chosun culture to Ming, keeping record of the literary interchange, and keeping correspondence with Chosun officials. In 1609, Xiong Hua(熊化) from Ming established a friendship with Yi Cheng-gu(李廷龜) of Chosun through their literary interaction. In the meantime, Xu Ming徐明 as an attendant of Liu Yong(劉用), an envoy, interacted with Heo Kyun(許筠) who coordinated their visit, which supports that the literary interchange extended to the attendants to a significant degree. The interaction between Chosun and Ming`s envoys at this time is meaningful as a demonstrative case of active bi-directional exchange that continued even after the diplomatic event.
