한설야의 중국 인식 -소설 『대륙』과 중국기행문을 중심으로- = An understanding of China in the Han Seolya -Focusing on the novel The Continent and the Traveler`s Journal on China-

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper examines the perception of Chinese by the author, Han Seolya, focusing on his novel ``The Continent `` and his traveler``s journal on China based on his travel to Beijing. The purpose of this study is to consider imagined geographies by Han Seolya regarding Chinese territory especially through his perception on the relationship of Manchu and Han. In the novel ``The Continent ``, Han people were compared with Manchu people by Japanese and divided from Manchu people; Han``s culture and language were considered negatively and Manchu``s identity was positively valued. Such division by Japanese reveals their intention that led to separation and alienation policy of Manchu against Han. Han and Manchu in Han Seolya``s traveler``s journal on China shared a common ground in their nature and homogeneity was emphasized for their shared identity as ``Chinese``. ``Manchu and Han people`` incorporated into ``Chinese`` in ``the Republic of China`` is again incorporated into ``the Continent people`` since they share the continental nature and characteristics with Manchu people of ``Manchuria``. After all, the author speaks of the Chinese and continental nature of ``Manchu and Han people``, which could not be spoken within ``Manchuria``(``The Continent ``), from the outside of ``Manchuria``(the traveler``s journal on China) to show undeniable connection between Manchu and Han; and ``Manchu and Han people`` of ``Manchuria`` and the Chinese mainland; and to show that regardless of physical borders, ``Manchuria`` and the Republic of China are ``one`` in unity.
