韓國學界近年逐漸重視漢文小說的研究，並取得良好成果。不過，一如韓國學者所言，韓國學界對於野談集的研究還有待開拓。其實，野談集在朝鮮文學發展過程佔有相當重要的地位，且對於研究韓國韓文小說、現代短篇小說亦有助益。韓國漢文小說《金鰲新話》、《企齋記異》、《溪西野談》、《青邱野談》、《六美堂記》等，不管是以短篇或章回形式為之，也不論作者是文士或無名氏，小說作品反映科舉、身份、或描繪社會內部的矛盾，或記載神奇鬼怪、道聽塗說的異聞，總之，內容五花八門，除了可供探討人性美惡，達到移風易俗，裨補教化的勸懲功能之外，最重要的是，這些稗官野史記錄了許多民情風俗，忠實呈現了不同時期的民俗現象，提供了後人研究韓國古代民俗文化寶貴的文獻材料。 本文擬就韓國17-19世紀的小說，以《於于野談》、《青邱野談》為主的野談集中有關民俗的材料加以論述，特別集中探討巫覡、占卜命相、風水地理等民俗文化，希冀此文對於日後究明和闡釋韓國近世民俗文化能起一點些微的作用。

In recent years, Korean academics have paid more attention to the studies of Han Wen novels and have achieved a lot in this field. As a Korean scholar once said, however, there is still a lot to exploit in 野談集. In fact, 野談集 has played a key role in the development of Korean literature and is a very important work for the study of Korean novels and modern short stories. No matter in the form of short story or zhang hui xiao shuo, or its author is a literary figure or an anonym, Korean Hang Wen novels such as 金鰲新話, 企齋記異, 溪西野談, 青邱野談, and 六美堂記 reflect on imperial examination and social identity, depict the paradox of the society, or record the anecdotes of ghosts and gossips. In sum, its contents are diverse and can be used as a lesson to discuss the beauty and ugliness of human nature, and teach people how to work on the basis of moral ethics. Most important, these novels vividly record the local customs and the phenomenon of folk culture in different generations so that they become an invaluable literature for scholars to study the traditional Korean folk culture. With an emphasis on folk culture such as sortilege, foretelling, feng shui, and environment, this paper aims to analyze the elements of folk culture in the 17th to 19th century Korean novels, especially in 於于野談 and 青邱野談. It is hoped that this paper can be of some importance for the study and exploitation of recent Korean folk culture in the future.
