崔白詩의 唐風 形成 背景

Abstract

This study examined the background that formed the Tang style poem of Gojuk Choi Gyeongchang and Okbong Baek Gwanghun under the literary environment of Song style in the 16th century. Among the top 3 Tang style poets in the literary history of Korea, Choi Gyeongchang and Baek Gwanghun are called Choi-Baek. Their poet style was the heyday Tang style which was different from the Song style of their age. In the early Joseon at a time when moralism took the mainstream which regarded literature as a means of cultivating mind and mentality, the promotion of heyday Tang style poems by Choi-Baek seems to be derived by the following background. First, the inherent talent of Choi-Baek would play an important role instinctively. They showed an exceptional ability of poem from their youth. They did not refuse to practice literature after cultivating their mind, they got accustomed to literature for literature even when they did not learn or recognize it. Second, the mentality they learned and obtained in the learning and communication became background of creating the Tang style poems. Choi-Baek learnt Confucianism and poems together from their teachers such as Cheongyeon, Songcheon, Saam and Seokcheon, and they recognized natural beauty and grieving beauty from their communication with Confucius scholars in Homan who already learnt the Tang style, which led them to create the Tang sytle poems. Third, Choi-Baek suffered from political contradiction by party conflicts, and also from gap on the institutional academic trend. However, they overcame an attitude of bystander and achieved the heyday Tang style poems. Choi-Baek did not leave any poetic theory on their own. However, it is proper to regard the poetic achievement was made possible by their inherent talent, learning and communication relation, and bystander attitude of political reality implicitly.
