退溪 船遊詩를 통해 본 ‘樂’과 ‘興’

Abstract

This study is to make Toegye’s Seonyusi as object of study as a part of inquiring into the specific qualities of Toegye's poems with various subject matters. In his Seonyusi, various worlds of consciousness are found out, and are reflected according to his situation and position. Among the various themes contained in Seonyusi, this study is to try to examine out how the Rak and the Heung are embodied through Seonyu(船遊), focused on Toegye’s Rak and Heung. In order to examine out the Rak and the Heung in Seonyu, this study, to begin with, is to investigate the correlationship between Seonyu and water, and then to define the meaning of Rak and Heung in Seonyu. Consequently, this study identifies how the ‘Rak’ is revealed, and then how it becomes ‘Rak of becoming one with all creatures(萬物化生)’, and at last how it is embodied into ‘Rak of getting out of worldly things(脫俗隱逸)’. The following work is to examine the revelation of 'Heung' through Seonyu. This study is to examine out the sincerity of Toegye's Heung by way of the Heung of a meeting with beautiful sceneries fulfilled in space of relaxation with the surface of the water in the background and the Heung of strolling around mysterious and extraordinary places. Through these discussions above, this study is to try to identify what the aesthetic qualities of ‘the Rak’ and ‘the Heung’ in his Seonyusi is.
