許蘭雪軒 漢詩의 美學的 考察-表現美를 중심으로-

Abstract

Huh Nan Seol Hun was a famous female poet in the reign of King Myeong-jong of Joseon Dynasty and about 210 Chinese verses written by her are handed down to us. Her Chinese verses are handed down by Huh Gyun, her younger brother, and representational beauty as one of the aesthetic characteristics of her poetry impress the readers. She describes her poor life indirectly rather than directly. Themes such as hidden beauty, yearning, solitude and grief are beautifully connected with images. Also, she skillfully uses creative techniques such as satire, simile, and metaphors to describe women's suffering which is difficult to be told. Above all, the most splendid characteristic of her verses is that she uses a projection to indirect things rather than plain speaking to express her view of life and sense of value.
