이 연구는 한ㆍ중고소설의 인물출생담을 비교ㆍ분석하여, 그 속에 담겨져 있는 두 나라 소설의 특성과 세계관을 구명해 보고자 한 것이다. 그리고 이 과정에서 한ㆍ중 고소설을 변별할 수 있는 어떤 因子가 있다면 이를 밝혀보고자 하였다. 그 결과 한국고소설은 降生譚이, 중국고소설은 轉生譚이 각각 전형적인 인물출생화소로 서사되어왔음이 확인되었다. 그런데 이러한 한ㆍ중고소설의 전생담과 강생담은 인간의 출생유래를 각각 ‘천상인의 강생’/‘인간을 포함한 자연사물의 전생’으로 사유하고 있어, 인간과 사물의 유래에 관하여는 ‘人物由來相異論’/‘人物由來同一論’의 사고를 보여주는가 하면, 세계관에 있어서는 ‘이원론적 세계관’/‘일원론적 세계관’을 보여주는 등, 한ㆍ중고소설 특유의 사유체계를 보여주고 있었다. 그리고 양국 소설의 인물출생담이 갖는 이 같은 인간과 사물의 유래에 관한 사유와 ‘세계관’은 각각 한국고대의 시조신화인 胎生 또는 卵生神話와 중국고대의 시조신화인 感生神話가 갖고 있는 인간관과 세계관을 계승한 것임을 확인하였다. 그런데 한국고소설의 강생담에는 대부분 기자치성화소가 담겨있는데 반해 중국소설에는 이것이 전혀 나타나지 않았고, 또 중국소설의 전생담에는 여우나 바위와 같은 자연사물이 사람으로 전생하거나 사람이 소나 개와 같은 축생으로 전생하는 이야기가 많이 나오는데, 한국소설에는 이러한 전생담이 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 이를 근거로 본고에서는 한국소설의 ‘祈子-降生譚’과 중국소설의 ‘사물-사람 전생담’을, 각각 한ㆍ중 고소설의 고유한 특성을 드러내는 변별인자로 적시하였다.

In this article I compared and analyzed the person birth tales which appears to ancient novels of Korea and China. And through this I tried to clarify the feature and the world view of two country novels. As well as, from this process, I tried to seek the factors which are able to become the evidence which distinguishes Korean ancient novels and Chinese ancient novels The result, I founded the truth which incarnation tales降生譚 had been expressing with typical motif of the person birth人物出生話素 in the Korean ancient novels, and the truth which the tales of metempsychosis轉生譚, in the same way, were expressed with typical person birth motif in the Chinese novels. By the way in the incarnation tales of Korean ancient novel, people think the birth origin of the human to descending of heaven existence. And in the metempsychosis tales of Chinese ancient novel, people think the birth origin of the human to metempsychosis of the ground existence which includes human. With like this reason the ancient novels of two countries were showing the very different qualities in the view of human and things origin人物由來觀 and the view of the world世界觀. Namely, the Korean ancient novels are showing the theory that human and things origin are different人物由來相異論 from the view of human and things origin, and the dualism view of the world二元論的世界觀 from the view of the world. By the way the Chinese ancient novels were showing the theory that human and things origin are same人物由來同一論 from the view of human and things origin, and the monism view of the world一元論的 世界觀 from the view of the world. From these facts, I clarified the fact that these view of human nature and things nature and view of the world in the incarnation tales and metempsychosis tales of two country novels succeeded the view of human nature and things nature and the view of the world in the oviparous myth卵生神話 of ancient Korea and the contact birth myth感生神話 of ancient China. Also, in the incarnation tales of Korean ancient novel mostly the praying childbirth motif祈子致誠話素 is included, but in the metempsychosis tales of Chinese ancient novel it did not appear entirely. And many metempsychosis tales of Chinese ancient novel was telling tales that nature things such as fox or rock is born again a person, or a person born again with an animal such as cow and dog, however, Korean ancient novels did not appear those of metempsychosis tales. Based on these facts, this paper prescribed ‘praying childbirth-incarnation tales’祈子-降生譚 of ancient novel in Korea and ‘metempsychosis tales between human and things’ 사람-事物 轉生譚 of ancient in novel China for distinction factor that show peculiar individuality of each ancient novel in Korea and China.
