중국 이주 역사가 김택영의 저술활동

초록

Kim Taek-young is a historian and master of Chinese poems and classics from Gaeseong who lived his life during the turbulent late Joseon period. Following the Gabo Reform of 1894, he was in charge of publishing history books as a commissioned officer and wrote a history textbook called "歷史輯略(Yeoksajipryak)" or a book of national history. However, in 1905, he was exiled to Nantong, China in the sense of crisis of the Japanese invasion and continued on his writing activities while engaging in making corrections at Hanmungrim publishing company. The Chinese people who he met and interacted with in Nantong include businessmen Zhang jian(張謇), translators Yan Fu(嚴復), thinker Liang qi-chao(梁啓超), 湯震, writer Yu Yue(兪樾), historian tú jì(屠寄), Lü Simian(呂思勉), and artist Ouyang Yuqian(歐陽予倩). At n Hanmungrim publishing company, he published a collection of poetry and prose by Park Ji-won, Lee Gun-chang, Shin Wi, and Hwang Hyun in the late Joseon Dynasty period and compiled the "校正三國史記(Amended Version of the Chronicles of the Three States)" and "新高麗史(New History of Goryeo)", correcting defects and errors from an independent and objective perspective. In addition, he wrote "韓史綮(Hansagyeong)", which summarized the history of the Joseon Dynasty in a critical perspective for the first time, followed by writing "韓國歷代小史(History of Korea based on Major and Minor Events)", leave the first synoptic history of Korea. Kim Taek-young became known to the Chinese history academia through his interactions with such historians as tú jì(屠寄) and Lü Simian(呂思勉). In particular, Lü Simian(呂思勉) quoted the Kim Taek-young’s ‘History of Korea based on Major and Minor Events’ while writing his book ‘白話中國史’, the history of China written in colloquial Chinese. The book was the first Chinese history book written in colloquial language and was a widely circulated college textbook. The presence of these books indicates that Kim Taek-young’s writings, including "Amended Version of the Chronicles of the Three States", "History of Korea based on Major and Minor Events" and "New History of Goryeo" were introduced to China. Kim Taek-young practiced the philosophy of protecting and promoting the country through writings by organizing distributing the culture and history of Joseon in Korea and China as well. His writings can have their historical significance and implications evaluated on the basis of the fact that his writing activities were conducted as a means of restoring national sovereignty and facilitating independence.
