崔笠 散文의 一硏究

This treatise mainly discusses the prose works of Choi Rip(최립), who was one of the prominent writers of Classic prose in mid - Chosun era. In those days. existing literary circles appreciated the prose of Tang and Sung period for canon. put it to practical used in a writing. At that same time, This general literary tendency brought a feeble gusto upon in the literary of that period. Choi Rip objected outspokenly that prosaic gusto and grouped for solution which consists of restoring literary beauty represented by traditional prose, for example six cannon(六經), before Chin(秦) period and realizing creative spirit in composition. To overcome his low social status that he was from a trifling family. Choi Rip emphasized his literary ability for compensating his social limitation. presenting the literary view that literature should be assessed for it own sake. In addition to that he pursued Ki(奇) and Kan(簡) uncommonness and brevity in his literary works which are connected with his aim of enhancing a creative writing. In this treatise, I analyzed modes of expression represented in Yubeulparksoojaeseo(留別朴秀才序). kosankugokdarmki(高山九曲潭記), Yeulseungjungki(閱勝亭記) and Seongchunbusazickiujeamun(成川俯社稷祈雨祭文) focusing on the style of Ki(奇). At the end I persuaded the fact that the defiant literary spirit of Choi Rip stimulated the literary world of that period especially which had been inclined to the traditional prosaic style of Tang and Sung. and contributed to the formation of reactionary prosaic style after that time.
