A Comparative Research of Jeong Cheol’s Jeonhu Miingok (前後美人曲) and Nguyen Gia Thieu’s Cung Oan Ngam Khuc (宮怨吟曲) -From the Perspective of Yeongun Siga (戀君詩歌)

ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to compare Jeong Cheol’s (鄭澈) Jeonhu Miingok (前後美人曲), (which is the term for both Samiingok (思美人曲) and Sokmiingok (續美人曲) ), and Nguyen Gia Thieu’s (阮嘉韶) Cung Oan Ngam Khuc (宮怨吟曲) and to also deepen the understanding of both national languages and literature developed in South Korea and Vietnam, which are within the range of an universal language.

First, Chapter II introduces the lives of Jeong Cheol and Nguyen Gia Thieu along with background stories behind their creation of work.

Jeonhu Miingok and Cung Oan Ngam Khuc all share similarities as both male authors speak in the voices of the female speakers abandoned by their lovers and all belong to the genre of the unique long poems written in the national languages.

Chapter III reviews the differences between the works by analyzing their compositions and sentiments of the poetic speakers.

Chapter IV derives the meanings of the works based on results of a comparative analysis. Jeong Cheol and Nguyen Gia Thieu are noblemen from the medieval era who could have the ability to create Chinese poetry and writings skillfully. However, to sing for their lovers, they wrote the long poems in their national languages rather than in Chinese. Through the national-language literature including Korean propositions in Samiingok, honorifics and normal words in Sokmiingok, and proverbs, folk songs, and colloquial styles in Cung Oan Ngam Khuc, the authors were able to include the unique beauty and characteristics of each country’s language and express their situations and emotions.

In this paper, Cung Oan Ngam Khuc is newly observed from the perspective of Yeongun Siga (戀君詩歌) through the comparison with Jeonhu Miingok. It is also possible to confirm the meaning of the Yeongun (戀君) spirit shown in Jeonhu Miingok through the comparison with Cung Oan Ngam Khuc. The attempt to compare and contrast Jeonhu Miingok and Cung Oan Ngam Khuc from the view of Yeongun Siga (戀君詩歌) helps understanding East Asian literature comprehensively. It is significant to show how the “middle parts,” South Korea and Vietnam, based on China as the ‘center,’ have built the relationship and accomplished their literary achievements.

Keywords: Jeonhu Miingok, Jeong Cheol, Cung Oan Ngam Khuc, Nguyen Gia Thieu, Yeongun Siga

ABSTRACT

The first Vietnamese bishop, Nguyen Ba Tong, composed Tuong Thuong kho (Play of Passion) based on Jesus’s Passion narrated in The Old Testament. The manuscript was first published in 1912. Very different from Vietnamese traditional theatrical manuscripts, Tuong Thuong kho followed the style of Western classical play in structure and daily-life language. Therefore, it can be considered the first modern play written in Quocngu characters by a Vietnamese writer. 

Keywords: Tuong Thuong kho, modern play, Quocngu characters

Truong Tuu’s Sociological Method In Literary Criticism

ABSTRACT

With a huge number of compositions from literature, culture to critical research, Truong Tuu is considered a great critic, a talented literary researcher. Up to now, his compositions have not been fully and comprehensively acknowledged. Looking back on the past journey, it is necessary to study Truong Tuu from a more thorough and sharp perspective. In the early years of the twentieth century, Truong Tuu appeared as a pioneer in search of new ideas, new principles for life and literature. His ideas have been absorbed from many tendencies such as Marxism,Freud’s psychoanalytic theories, ... from which he proposed the socialization tendency in literary and cultural research. This is shown in his works such as Vietnamese Sutra Poetry (Vietnamese Kinh Thi), Summary of Modern Vietnamese Literature, Psychology and Thought of Nguyen Cong Tru, The Tale of Kieu and the Nguyen Du Era….

Studying Truong Tuu's works, we would like  to systematically approach his sociological method which is applied commonly throughout his research. From that he encourages the tendency to criticize socialization in Vietnamese literature and culture in the early twentieth century. The result from this  article is also a springboard for us to find out the concept of sociology in Han Thuyen group - a cultural group that Truong Tuu is the main editor during  in the 40s of the twentieth century.

Keywords: Truong Tuu, Han Thuyen group, method, sociology, literary criticism.

The application of the world’s ancient tales in Korean films

ABSTRACT

Reading ancient tales with specific motif glasses has long been one of the standards to assess the degree of research within cultural works. However, if one only reads and critiques based on theory, then this is insufficient to accurately assess the entire ancient artistic work. The transformation of the work together with the implementation of morals based on motifs and social commentary through entertainment products in the modern era is what makes the entertainment attractive, reflecting the deep philosophies of the ancient tales. Korean films are such examples! From its beginning through to its development, Korean films have undergone a long progress of revision and adaptation to leave behind many notable achievements. Not only have the had an impact in their own nation but they have also succeeded in influencing many other nations of the world. In particular, when researching on the success of Korean films under the lens of motifs of ancient tales, this paper recognises that every detail, every gesture and every action of the character carries a depth of personality and humanity. This paper will outline the types of motifs of ancient tales from across the world found in Korean films together with its application within said product.

Keywords: Motif, Ancient Tales, Korean Films.
