Abstract

This study aims to investigate what flowering plant Jeongjo loved, the attitudes and the reasons, and their implications. The study method was to investigate the contents and meaning in the historical records and to describe their interpretation. Jeongjo's life was consistent with very abstinent life style. His food, clothing and shelter were simple, and he did not show the interests in music, various arts and craft, women, and so on. He did not even show his interest in the flowers and plants of fairyland, beautiful flowers and plants. Jeongjo knew various kinds of flowers, and he was proficient in artistic expressions such as literature or painting with flower material. Due to this kind of attitude, there were few cases to demonstrate his taste on the specific flowering plant. The only one that Jeongjo revealed as his favorite flower was the pomegranate. However, the pomegranate was not the simple flowering plant as the subject of enjoying to Jeongjo. The pomegranate has the meaning of indicator plant to indicate the season of rice farming. Therefore, he made it to be the intermediary to indicate the farming season, which counted a few. Besides, Jeongjo who was threatened by the trials of assassination to him in his early throne period utilized 5,600 pomegranate flowerpots as the barricade of his shelter by arraying them with the type of stone piles in $B{\bar{a}}zh{\grave{e}}nt{\acute{u}}$(八陣圖). The use of Jeongjo's pomegranate flowerpots was not related to the visual utilization like ornament at all, which was very unique case. From multiple records, it was found that the pomegranate was the flower to be with Jeongjo in his period of reign. It is remarkable that the reason why Jeongjo kept pomegranate for a long time like this had the difference from enjoying practice on the ordinary flowering plant. This study has the limitation to be conducted depending on the Korean translated data. Further studies are required according to the translation performance of new historical records.

본 연구의 목적은 정조가 애호한 화훼는 무엇이며 그 태도와 그 이유, 여기에 반영된 의미를 밝히는데 있다. 연구의 범위는 완호(玩好)의 대상물로서의 특정 '화훼'에 한정하였다. 연구의 방법은 사료에 담긴 내용과 의미를 고찰하고 해석하는 기술(description)적 연구로 진행하였다. 정조의 일생은 매우 절제된 생활태도로 일관했다. 그의 의식주는 소박했으며 음악, 잡기, 여색 등에도 관심을 보이지 않았다. 정조는 기화요초(琪花瑤草)에도 관심을 두지 않았다. 이러한 정조의 태도로 인해 특정 화훼에 대한 자신의 취향을 드러낸 일이 많지 않다. 정조는 여러 종류 꽃들을 잘 알고 있었으며 꽃을 소재로 문학 혹은 회화 등 예술적 표현에 있어서도 막힘이 없었다. 정조 스스로 자신이 애호하는 꽃으로 밝힌 것은 석류가 유일하다. 그러나 정조에게 있어서 석류는 단순한 완상(玩賞)의 대상물로서의 화훼가 아니었다. 석류는 벼농사의 절기를 알려주는 '지표식물(indicator plant)'로서의 의미를 갖는다. 따라서 이를 가까이 두고 수시로 접함으로서 농사의 절기를 일깨우는 매체가 되도록 했는데 그 수량도 단지 몇 그루에 그쳤다. 이 밖에 정조는 즉위 초반에 자신에 대한 암살기도 등 안위가 위협받는 상황 속에서 석류화분 5, 600개를 팔진도(八陣圖)의 돌무더기 형태로 배열하여 처소에 대한 방호물(barricade)로 활용하기도 했다. 정조의 이와 같은 석류화분 활용은 관상 등 시각적 활용과는 전혀 무관한 것으로 매우 독특한 사례라고 할 수 있다. 여러 기록을 볼 때 석류는 재위기간 전반에 걸쳐 정조와 함께한 꽃이라는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 정조가 이렇듯 장기간에 걸쳐 석류를 가까이 한 이유도 미적 향유(享有) 등 통념적인 화훼에 대한 완상(玩賞) 행태와 차별성이 있다는 점이 주목된다. 본 연구의 한계는 국역된 자료에 의존하여 연구가 진행되었다는 점이다. 새로운 사료의 번역 성과에 따라 보다 심도 있는 후속 연구가 필요할 것이다.
