Variant Versions and Text Confirmation of Kimhigyeongjeon

&nbsp;&nbsp;Kimhigyeongjeon was one of the most representative novels for a heroine. Nevertheless, the studies on this work have not been done properly. This study was a foundation work for the research on Kimhigyeongjeon and mainly investigated variant versions of Kimhigyeongjeon.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;After reviewing 21 kinds of variant versions, it has been confirmed that Kim higyeongjeon has been transmitted from Jeongmyeonggi version to Kukjung version to Seongdae version. Jeongmyeonggi version and Kukjung version were the full-length variant versions representing the age of unique copy making and Seongdae version became the matrix of printed books since the contraction as the full-length works at the late period of unique copy making. The full-length works were variant versions groping for polygamic and harmonious co-existence based on the encounter, faith and mutual respect between men and women, while the short-story works were the variant versions corresponding to the genre customs of conventional novel for heroines, by dealing the stories of affiliation and epics of male and female protagonists from a balanced perspective.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;By accepting such research results, it has been expected that future studies on Kimhigyeongjeon would focus on the balanced discussions based on variant versions representing each version as their texts.
