中國 ‘姑惡’ 詩 研究 ― 문화적 배경과 확장의 양상

Abstract

In this article, We tried to discuss the cultural background and the expansion of the content of ‘blaming on mother-in-law’ poems from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. In Chinese feudal society, there had always been a three obedience rules and the ideology of “mother-in-law is noble, daughter-in-law is humble”, leading to constant contradictions between them. It is also due to legends such as Jingwei(精衛)filling the sea and women turning out birds after death. Ever since Su Shi(蘇軾) of the Song Dynasty composed the ‘blaming on mother-in-law’ poem based on the folk legend that daughter-in-law was abused by her mother-in-law and turned into a bird after her death, later inheritors imitated it, and created many similar poems. In these processes, ‘blaming on mother-in-law’ poems have expanded in three aspects: on the internal level, the narrative elements had been increased; on the external level, poets paid various attention to the events and made literary acculturation; and in the way of creation, many poets used varied metaphors and allegories. We hoped that through this paper, the process of ‘blaming on mother-in-law’ poems that has emanated social issues beyond the character of simply eccentric material will be reviewed.
