The Record of Xie's Southern Expedition

Japanese: 謝氏南征記 - しゃしなんせいき
The Record of Xie's Southern Expedition
A full-length novel from the mid-Joseon Dynasty of Korea (17th century). Written by Kim Man-jung. Date of publication unknown. It depicts the conflict between wives and concubines in an aristocratic household. It borrows place and personal names from China, but is said to be a satire of a court incident surrounding King Sukjong at the time. The original work was written in Hangeul and aimed at women and children, and was later translated into classical Chinese by his great-grandson Kim Chun-taek, who spread it to male intellectuals as well. It is a representative work of the popular novel that emerged from the 17th century onwards, combining entertainment and moral teaching. [Otani Morishige]

Japanese:
朝鮮の李朝中期(17世紀)の長編小説。作者金万重。成立年未詳。貴族家庭内の妻妾間の葛藤を描く。地名,人名を中国に借りているが,当時の粛宗王をめぐる宮廷事件をモデルにしてこれを諷諫したものといわれる。原作は婦女子を対象にハングルで書かれ,のち従孫の金春沢が漢文に翻訳して男性知識層にも普及した。17世紀以降に出現する娯楽性と教訓性を兼ねた通俗小説の代表的作品である。【大谷 森繁】
