시문(詩文)에 나타난 이달충(李達衷)의 유학적 세계관

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reexamine Lee Dalchung's Confucian world view in the poem and to examine his footsteps as a Confucian scholar. The days of Lee Dalchung's activities in the late Goryeo Dynasty were very confusing both internally and externally. Through his many poems, he demonstrated his frustration in the harsh reality and how to respond. There was a conflict between the idea of living by adapting to the changes of the times and the consciousness of keeping one's principles. However, despite his lack of talent, he was determined to help and correct the country. Lee Dalchung's official life was mostly during the reign of King Gongmin. King Gongmin attempted to reform the government, but in the end his reform policies did not go as he had conceived. At that time, the complex international situation made continuous reform difficult, and the foundation of the Gwon Mun-se people who were subject to reform was strong, so it was not successful. King Gongmin resumed his reform policy by using Sin Don, an unknown monk. Suddenly, Shin Don, who enjoyed wealth and honor, became more and more violent and dissipated, leaving his servants and newbies at heart, and the voice of criticism. Lee Dalchung criticized Shin Don who was manipulating state affairs during the period. It was pointed out that the Goryeo government was greatly shaken by Sin Don's playful role in state affairs, and that the people who depend on the Goryeo Dynasty had no place to lean on and were in danger. Lee Dalchung, a Confucian scholar, used the foundation stones and pillars as a metaphor to describe the characteristics of the two objects and pursue a basic spirit for the people. In his poem, he suggested that the foundation of the country should be strengthened, just as large and strong foundation of the foundation can be built high. This is reflected in the basic spirit of Confucianism, which is based on the people.
