景濂亭 卓光茂의 삶과 시적 具顯

Abstract

This study aims to identify Tak Gwang Mu' life and how his life was realized through poetry, targeting his twenty-eight poems on twenty-six topics. The aspects of poetic realization were roughly categorized into three parts: first, learning and understanding of Confucianism; second, awareness of the current situation and emphasis on integrity; third, unworldly life and poetry of Yeomlak style. This study examined the process through which Mr. Tak learned Confucianism and how much he understood it. He wrote how Confucianism was known in his poetry and pointed out that the poetry related to Confucianism did not deal with its deep ideas. This study mentioned how much Tak recognized current situation and emphasized fidelity under troubled times. Most of the persons who made friendships with Mr. Tak were public servants of Goryeo and did not recognize the foundation of Joseon Dynasty. They insisted fidelity to their country though they had severe suffering. Mr. Tak valued it. Finally, this study focused on the fact that he lived worldly life after he resigned from a government post, and his poetry of Yeomlak style. As the poetry of Yeomlak style means that there is no worldly spirit, it is comparable to personality of Joo, Don Eee.
