A Study on Migration into Gando and Homing of Diaspora Demonstrated in Land by Park Kyung-Ri : Focusing on Confucianism Response as a Vital Principles and Diaspora modern meaning

In Land by Park, Kyung-Ri, the tragic and sad story of sufferings on the migration into Gando of Seo-hee in the Vice Minister, Choi's house and people of Pyoungsa-ri was described well. These people tried to drown their sorrow in Gando where there was no one to talk to and their long-cherished desire was to return to Pyoungsa-ri, hometown. What this thesis focused on was that people of Pyoungsa-ri formed the Diaspora based on community culture and tradition in other country and endured the period of colonies. The meaning of 'Diaspora' meant the dispersed Jews and its community who left the original Palestine area and were living worldwide, and it can be interpreted as a national breakup or a national dispersion. Though the concept of the Diaspora showed a rather different scope of definition depending on each scholar, all scholars showed the common opinion of 'Dispersion' and this thesis was based on the Diaspora by Prof. Kyoung-Sik Seo who was the fine arts scholar residing in Japan. The core of Diaspora by Prof. Kyoung-Sik Seo was focused on 'dispersion forced by violence'. Gando was the place where symbolized this Diaspora typically and the root cause why the people of Pyoungsa-ri retained their own culture in the place of sufferings and could return to their hometown was explained as the horizontal human relationship for the vital principles of Confucianism. Park, Kyoung-Ri emphasized the weak responsive ability of Confucianism possessed by the learned man vertically to the reality through the village schoolmaster Kim's migration into Gando and revealed through value system of Han-Bok, Young-Pal and rustic parents of Lee Yong, Sunyoung Bongsa that Confucianism as the vital principles among the public people became the foundation for the return to hometown as for the people of Pyoungsa-ri. In addition, people of Pyungsa-ri returned to hometown from Gando but, the second generation of Gil-Sang and people of Pyoungsa-ri did not return, remained in Gando and developed the Diaspora there. Especially, Gando directivity of Lee Hong who returned to hometown with his father was the point where the strategic intention over Gando of the writer was well revealed. Gando directivity of Le Hong recognized Gando as the land of mother whereas people of Pyoungsa-ri recognized it as the strange land. The writer demonstrated well that the ultimate purpose of the Diaspora was associated with the return to the place where they left and at the same time, it showed the tough vitality of the Diaspora which took root in the strange country and was expanded through the localization of their culture.
