조선오현의 삶과 시 일고

Abstract

Chosun Ohyun (朝鮮五賢) aspired to the learning of the wise and pursued moral philosophy, trying to lead a morally sincere life and to incorporate the thinking of moral philosophy in their literature from a moralistic point of view. Above all Chung Yo-Chang(鄭汝昌) was a pioneering moralist of the Chosun era who positively treaded the path of morals at the crossroad between the letters and morals. Kim Gweng-Pil(金宏弼) gave great weight to study of moralistic principles and embodiment of practical values and highly literary works such as Dohak poetry were relatively neglected. Cho Kwang-Cho(趙光祖) show a practical life as a moralist in reality. Lee Eun-Juk(李彦迪) can be obtained while living by the original simple nature by finding the original self through apprehension of things. Lee Hwang(李滉) was seemingly about landscapes of nature and his own interests but what he tried to imply was about clarifying and glorifying the reason of nature In the history of Dohak poetry their stature has been mentioned very insignificantly and not until recently are studies on them followed. Undoubtedly studies on their poetry and prose have been insufficient since moral philosophy and integrity takes precedence over the poetry and prose.
