The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of Korean novel, <Myeongjugibong>, and to understand the characteristics and system of Korean novels. This is a two-year research project which aims to empirically examine the reading culture topography of Korean novels.
This study was to identify the characteristics of 2 types <Myeongjugibong> in the first year, and to characterize each zonbon in the second year.
First, the main contents of the first year study are as follows. The purpose of this paper is to study the features of the ancient version, one of copies of different versions. As one of two completed different versions, the ancient version includes omissions and abbreviations accounting for 78% of its total volume, compared with Jangseogak archives, one of another completed version. However, it is evidenced that the ancient version had been caused under some intention regarding its changing patterns, in consideration that such omissions and abbreviations in it mainly had focused on particular events or scenes. In addition, it is found that, although the ancient version depicts the same contents as Jangseogak archives', this is found to take on a copy of different versions that lead to a considerable change in its letter patterns,. Also, in consideration that the ancient version is characteristic with an introductory explanation, it is anticipated that this is a work of a copy of rental books enjoyed in regions mainly Sumun-dong Area.
The following is the main content of the second year study. First, I collected and compared the existences that existed as a result of the fall of <Myeongjugibong> and extracted the characteristics from the standpoint of bibliography and content. In particular, each of the various forms existed in various ways and forms, and focused on understanding the intellectual characteristics and contents. It is believed that many of the actual nodule dyes were made in the lower and middle layers, not in the upper layer, unlike the complete Copies of Different Versions. In addition, the current situation of <Myeongjugibong> was found to be similar to the current status and characteristics of the former <Hyunxiyangwoongxangrinki>
