『佩觽』은 오대와 송나라 초기 郭忠恕가 편찬한 자서로, 위진시대 이후로 분석 된 자서의 총결체로, 한자 자형의 표준과 한자 자형의 변화 규칙의 중요성이라는 측면에서 볼 때 충분히 연구의 가치를 지니고 있다. 본문은 곽충서가 지적한 34종의 한자 자형의 변화 현상 중 6종의 양상을 분석 하고, 이를 통해 곽충서가 지녔던 한자 자형 변화에 대한 개념을 파악하는 동시에, 그 사상적 이론을 분석하고, 이러한 사고의 변화가 후대에 전해지면서 어떤 가치 와 작용을 가지는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이는 결국 이후 등장하게 되는 과학적 인 문자학사나 사전사의 연구에 있어 매우 중요한 하나의 연구 자료로 사용될 수 있으리라 기대한다.

This paper analyses how cultural ideas come into play and affect the interpretation on a word’s very complex and layered meaning in Diwuyou(第五游) written by Yujin Sim(沈有鎭) in the Late 18th Century, the earliest systematic etymological Dictionary of Chinese Characters of Joseon period. Diwuyou contains 1552 main entries written in the "regular script"(kaishu) followed by “Seal Script”(xiaozhuan), and provides the interpretation of formation, meaning, structure, pronunciation, semantic change and some supplementary comments for each character. We think all dictionaries seem to provide neutral information, but to arrange and interpret various usages of a word consistently, a set of values and attitudes of their editors cannot help being included. However hard editors of dictionaries try to provide objective information, they cannot be value neutral: dictionaries involve both attitudes and values. The aim of the paper is, thus, to analyses and uncover the hidden consent of dominant ideas and value orientation of Yujin Sim’s age reflected in the interpretations of Chinese characters of Diwuyou. The consent was implicit or hidden because Sim tried to be systematic and consistent in his data collection method concerning brush strocks and make detailed records of origin and history of words. Then, defying the age-old tradition of Shuowenjiezi(說文解字), he defined the meanings of words in 18th century Korean contexts. But by reading Diwuyou more deeply, you can find that the content, methodology, and the very culture of Diwuyou were the product of such a dominant ideology of the age as “neo-confucianism” which drove ruling elites very critical against Buddhist doctrine in the 18th century, an approval of “a divinely sanctioned, hierarchical political and social order as a universal and cosmic order and admiration of the core values of peace, non-violence, harmony and modesty.”
