讀者文化 고찰을 통한 韓⋅中 木蘭 형상 담론 - 조선후기 『鄭木蘭傳』과 淸 후기 『北魏奇史閨孝烈傳』 『忠孝勇烈奇女傳』을 중심으로

Abstract

Mulan-its story and images- which was reproduced in popular novels in the latterpart of Chosun dynasty and Chung era reflected general cultural atmosphere of the ageand aspect of reaction of popular reading behavior, and was a pragmatic example toidentify the relation between readers and socio-cultural connection of literary work. Even though Mulan contained almost same motif, it was totally reproduced andchanged its internal symbolism after 18 century due to Korea and China cultural varietyand expansion of reader’s class. The text of Mulan story which was reproduced inChosun dynasty as an enlightening heroine and in Chung as a beauty or transcendentfemale fighter showed the readers of those days transferred to proactive participants ofreading activity and critical cultural authority, not as a passive recipient. We could assure from China and Korea culture that readers as a proactiveparticipants could take crucial position in socio-culture as a 2nd creator for social changeand cultural evolution
