Intangible Heritage Meaning of the Connected Approach to Folktales and Narrative Spaces - Focused on the tales of Kim In-hoo and HunMong-jae in Sunchang

This paper is discussing the spatial meaning of Hunmongjae in Sunchang at two levels. The first is an analysis of a story about Kim In-hoo. Of the 10 stories in the Gobi literature section, there are stories compiled in the 1980s and stories added in the 2000s. In the first edition of the book, Kim In-hoo’s status represents the Jeolla provinces but in the second edition of the book, it refutes the first. The story of Kim In-hoo, who was originated in Ulsan, about taking place in Jeongup and as well as the conflicts with husband of his wife’s sister, Tae-in Kim (Kim Yak-mook) who was originated in Jeongup, deserve consideration for Kim In-hoo’s regional significance. However, any assessment of Kim In-hoo in the first book reflects the fact of his high status in the Jeolla provinces. In comparison, the second edition does not primarily highlight the personal situation of Haseo-nom de plume of Kim In-hoo-, but only highlights his appearance as a wise judge. However, Kim’s status in the Jeolla provinces’ Confucian is largely attributed to Pilam Seowon in his hometown of Jangseong in the South Jeolla Province, as well as Hunmongjae in Sunchang, which he built.The second aspect to be discussed at this paper is the oral materials related to Sunchang’s Hunmongjae, which were obtained through a field survey in 2019. Kim In-hoo was actually a man from Jangseong of South Jeolla Province in a strict sense. Therefore, Seowon that gives ancestral rites to Kim In-hoo is Pil-am Seowon. However, Sunchang Hunmongjae was built before Kim’s birth and was a scholarly retreat to protect his temple. In addition, a local survey and a survey of the literature confirmed that Hunmongjae had been rebuilt on four occasions since its foundation in 1548. Furthermore Hunmongjae has maintained its reputation due to the move of the Confucians in Jeolla provinces and the desire of the descendants of the Sunchang residents. In this paper, we looked at the anecdotes of Haseo in the North Jeolla region by analyzing the narrative and found the space of oral transmission through a field survey.This approach can also be described through the concept of a “chronotope,” which Bachchin refers to as a dynamic relationship of time and space. The story is narrated in a concrete space as it is remembered by people through the passage of time. The story of Kim In-hoo is the memory of a historical figure and Hunmongjae is a place to commemorate Kim In-hoo’s activities in the North Jeolla Province. In addition, a local survey showed that Hunmongjae’s status consisted of various efforts to inherit the tradition of Confucianism amid the shrink of Confucian culture. This combination of literary analysis and local research in this narrative will be an example of the intangible heritage research methodology.
