「三說記」의 說話的 背景과 漢文短篇과의 關係 : 「三士橫入黃泉記」를 中心으로 with emphasis on Sam Sa Hoing Ip Hwang Choon Koo(三士橫入黃泉記) = The Folk-narrative Background of Sam Seol kee(三說記) and Its Relation with Chinese short story

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sam Sa Hoing Ip Hwang Cheon Kee, which was finally fictionalized by an anonymous Korean novel writer, is resulted from the orally handed down contents of storytelling which was framed with the sources of ancient re-birth narratives by such talented storytellers as Kim Choong Chin(金仲眞). It occurs to the author that these contents came to be written into the chinese short story Sam Sa Pal Won Seol(三士發願說) at some stage by those people like Kim Hei Ryeong(金義齡) and Yu Chai Keon(劉在建), who had Learned chinese literature and had been advanced in their literary taste.
Comparing Sam Sa Hoing Ip Hwang Cheon Kee with Sam Sa Pal Won Seol, in the former which is accessible to the mass-thought, there is much explanatory and complicated parts in order toe make interesting and the worn-out mannerism of the ancient Korean novel such as quoting classical allusion and proverbs, while in the latter, the expression plain and simple. This difference seems to be derived from that of knowledge, culture, view of life, literary taste and consciousness of the narrator and writer who took charge of the oral transmission and recording of the story, and also from the fact that the reading class of the Koren novel and the Chinese Short Story defers from each other.
The writer of Sam Sa Hoidg Ip Hwang Cheon Kee satirizes the worldly power, fame and wealth through the responses of King of Hades(間王) to the wishes that three scholars have stated and emphasizes that the most precious thing of man's life is 'pure happiness'(淸福). And he also satirizes, in the words and behaviour of the scholars who are now captured in the Hades, the worldly attitude of so called open-door principle in which people only seek after their practical interest. He makes it a firm belief that there is nothing but fairness and impartiality allowing neither bribe nor circumstances in the Hades.
So far as we observed, Sam Sa Hoing Ip Hwang Cheon Kee, being free from the plot of poetic justice, gives a real description of a slice of life above the biographical dimension. If finely represents the view of ghost, the view of future life and the view of happiness of our race.
