유서편찬(類書編纂)의 전개양상(展開樣相) 고찰(考察)

Ryuseo(類書) is a type of traditional books and seems like today's encyclopedia. For compilation of this book, the contents with good ideas and the improvement in method of editing are very important. The process of development, basic form, reception and transformation, the method of succession in today were investigated with the traditional Ryuseo through this study. In Korea, the publishing of this book in the beginning was just republishing of Chinese Ryuseo. During the reign of king Sunjo of Chosun dynasty, Ryuseo for Korean, "Daedongeunbugunok(大東韻府群玉)" was published. Also the basic form of Ryuseo had to be changed in this period. Kimyuk increased practical use of this book by summarizing "Samunryuchui(事文類聚)". The first complete Korean Ryuseo was "Kosachalyo(故事撮要)" that was published in 1554, king Myungjong. In the book was included contents about diplomacy and daily life by Eosukkwun. In 1771, king Youngjo, "Kosashinseo(故事新書)" was published. It had more information about actual life than Kosachalyo. Ryuseo should be considered with two things when it is read by modern readers. One is the development of material for study and another is to ensure the readers. So Ryuseo could be a good basic material for developing contents of internet. Reproduction of this book by new one should be considered with increasing its function. Because reforming classical material by digital one is necessary for daily life in today.
