Genealogy of Hongdo Narrative

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the genealogy of the Hongdo narrative by understanding the relationship between the works of the Hongdo narrative line that have been handed down for over 300 years, from ｢紅桃｣in Yu Mongin's 『於于野談』 in 1621 to the present day. According to the order of appearance of each work, this paper examines the relationship network between the works by comparing them with the works of the Hongdo narrative line up to that point. Thus, the genealogy of the Hongdo narrative was finally completed. In addition, this study found two characteristic phenomena in the genealogy of the Hongdo epic. One is the fact that Jang Ji-yeon's ｢鄭生妻紅桃｣(1916) had a much greater influence on the post-modern Hongdo-gye narrative works than Yu Mongin's ｢紅桃｣(1621). The other is the phenomenon of continuous genre bargaining.
