초록

荷江 朴齊璟은 대한제국이 태동한 1897년부터 2년간 보령군수를 역임한 관료이며 시인으로서, 800여 수에 달하는 漢詩를 썼음에도 시인으로서 명성이 드러나지는 않았다. 하강은 보령군수시절에 전 작품의 사분의 일에 해당되는 200여 수나 되는 시를 썼는데 그만큼 보령의 산천에 대한 깊은 애정의 발로라고 생각한다. 하강의 작품은 지금도 보령의 산천이 생동하고 있으며 계절마다 바뀌는 풍광이 살아나고 있어 경이롭기까지 하다. 하강의 시는 보령의 산천을 그야말로 꽃피고 새가 노래하는 따스한 봄의 한 가운데로 몰입되게 할 뿐만 아니라, 정겹고 포근하여 享受에 젖게 하고 있다.
조선의 한시는 자연을 주제로 설정한다 해도 대부분 忠孝⦁五常같은 修己의 시풍을 견지하고 있었던 데에 반해, 하강의 전원시에서는 그와 같은 전래의 시풍이 나타나지 않는다. 이처럼 하강의 전원시는 사실적이고 전원의 정취를 자연스럽게 形象한 시라고 볼 수 있다. 하강은 陶淵明의 詩風을 숭상하면서 수많은 전원시를 썼는데, 늘 자연 현상이 녹아 있는 實景이었고 그 배경은 농민들이 살고 있는 田園이며 田家를 대상으로 삼았다.
따라서 이 글에서는 하강이 보령의 자연을 노래한 詩를 ‘보령전원시’라고 특정하고, 이 보령전원시를 대상으로 하강의 시세계를 살펴보고 당시 보령의 실상에서 논의하였다. 하강의 보령전원시는 지역학으로서 文學的 위상도 크기 때문에 지역문화 차원에서도 조명해 보았다.

영어초록

Hagang Park Je-Kyoung was a poet and government official serving as Boryeong County Governor for two years from 1897 in the late period of the Joseon Dynasty. Even though Hagang created about 800 Chinese poems, his reputation as a poet in the late period of the Joseon Dynasty was not revealed. However, Hagang was an unrivaled poet leaving numerous pastoral poems by respecting Tao Yuanming’s poetical style till the last moment of the Joseon Dynasty, and especially, it is marvelous to see that his works written when he was Boryeong County Governor, still show the nature filled with vitality and scenery changing in each season of Boryeong County.
Contrary to most of the government officials of the Joseon Dynasty who were stuck in the conceptual and restrained poetical style by aiming for Chinese poetry in Song-style or Tang-style, Hagang was a pastoral poet who created many pastoral poems while longing for nature and countryside. Like this, Hagang was out of the trend of poetic literature at that time, so he might not receive the proper literary evaluation. As an incumbent government official, he was talking about being stuck in his annual salary as much as five horses. His goal was to do farming for himself by cultivating the land one day, so his poetry fully contained the natural phenomenon itself, and the background of his poetry was always nature.
When Hagang was 72 years old, he served as Teukjingwan(official who helped the king’s study) in the Royal Court. However, the period when Hagang was 67-68 years old while working as Boryeong County Governor was the most peaceful time with the most activities as a poet. About 200 poems that were 1/4 of Hagang’s poems were created for two years while he was working as Boryeong County Governor.
Hagang’s poetry not only moves the readers to the center of warm spring in Boryeong nature filled with flowers and singing birds, but also shows the true value as warm and cozy pastoral poetry that could arouse nostalgia. His poetry is filled with the vitality of Boryeong nature 120 years ago, which makes people wonder how come it could be felt so cozy.
Therefore, this thesis aims to examine Hagang’s poetic world by selecting his pastoral poem showing the lifestyle of farmers by communing with nature and famous sights in Boryeong at that time.
