Oh, Semoon was intelligent and fond of learning, and studied the reason of Changes Book in Goosan Academy. He had usually respected Confucianism, excelled in expressions, gotten a dignified mien in attitude. So, he was pointed out as a model in the intellectual society. With him, his brothers i.d. Segong, Sejae studied literary expression as their home scholarship. They exposed their literary state different sharply with the other literary men. His representative works are <Yeokdae ga>, <Sambaegoonsi>. These are long epic works which sang the historical relics of many generations or condition of historical people's action. Lee, Kyu-bo the best literary man of that time praised Oh, Semoon's outstanding literary talent and scholarly attainments everywhere. At that time, his literary works were estimated as beautiful and prominent. He used his literary talent not only for presenting his mind but also for writing a public sentences for governing people. He was proficient in all sorts of scholarly fields like logics of Cosmic dual forces, Taoism, Confucianism, therefore talents of the world came to him and asked for learning. People at that time thought that he was enough to be a high official post like prime minister, because his ability was very big. We may consider his Josuron(theory of flow and tide) as an article that natural scientific and human views were confused in. Although Bukhakpa scholars after hundreds years from him already showed a propensity like that, it is significant that these sentences appeared prior to hundreds years comparing that time. Josuron is a scholarly paper about flow and tide, it isn't a dissertation only about sea water's move. In this dissertation, he wanted to treat heavenly body's move relating to sea water's move. Therefore, it was an elementary level, but it can be said to show a beginning of oceanophysics and astrophysics. Oh, Semoon was an administrating literary man as well as a scholar who surpassed a simple singer. Of course, we have no concrete evidence about his trails. If his works will be excavated, it is possibile for newly writing our literary or scholarly history.
