石湖 琴相基의 〈金剛遊覽歌〉 考察

An Inquiry of ‘Keumkang Yooramga’ of Sukho Keum Sangki

&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, I am introducing another volume of Korean travel verse to Keumkang Mountain called 〈Keumkang Yooramga〉 to circle. Hereby, it is a great fruit reward to have an opportunity to expand the data and information about Keumkang travel verse, or even further to Korean Kwanyoo verse or overall travel verse.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Besides, this piece is a completed travel verse of ‘departure → itinerary → destination → return’ which is highly creditable for the fact that it attempted to continue traditional literature in modern literature period of journalism atmosphere or unceasing tradition of Keumkang travel verse through interactions with the readers while enhancing the quality and reflecting the time.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Especially, the fact that the writer, who is calligrapher, provides much information on carved writings compared to other Keumkang travel verse is considered as a character and trait of its own. It is also valuable that the verse states that a noted scenery named Koosungdong was found in 1930.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Furthermore, it catches the reader’s attention by informing the readers that it was the trend in 1920s’ and 1930s’ to go back to Seoul and go to one’s hometown after going sightseeing in the inner, outer Haekeumkang and Sambangyaksoo in Keumkang trip. This is the result of convenience in trip provided by the opening of Kyungwon line.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;〈Keumkang Yooramga〉 by Keum Sangki is not only abundant in its value as literature research data but it is also valuable enough to be read by those who are interested in Keumkang Mountains.
