Abstract

Although the Chinese writer Su Shi had always been considered an important model cultural figure in Korea, the early nineteenth century fascination with him is distinctly linked to the way in which collecting culture became a crucial means of fashioning the literati selfhood, particularly among those members of urban elite in Seoul who aspired to the cosmopolitan literati culture in Beijing. The paper examines the early nineteenth century culture of collecting Su Shi"s texts among the urban elite in Seoul and in Beijing, focusing particularly on the representation of the literati selfhood in the writings about the names of the collectors" studios. The eminent Qing scholar of epigraphic studies and a famous collector of the Song period texts, Weng Fanggang, upon obtaining the authentic brushwork of Su Shi and the precious Song period editions of Su Shi"s poetry, named his studio after Su and fashioned his cultural image after Su Shi. The early nineteenth century Chosŏn poet Shin Wi, while traveling in Beijing, engaged the writings of Su Shi to forge an intellectual bond with Weng Fanggang; upon returning home, he collected and reproduced Su Shi"s poetry, calligraphies, and portraits and used his collection to substantiate his literati self-image. With a case study of these early nineteenth century writings on collecting Su Shi, the paper aims to consider the broader, underlying issue of the role of material culture in formulating the literati selfhood in East Asia.
