韓國漢詩에 나타난 薩水大捷과 乙支文德

Abstract

This essay presupposes the fact that China has regarded our people as the powerful nation which was a successor of the Goguryeo Dynasty and had military potential from the Su Dynasty to the Myeong Dynasty because of the Great Victory at Salsu and General Uljimundeog. And it presupposes the fact that our people has thought Uljimundeog as the origin of national pride, the object of longing and the eternal role model by the war and the general of the leader in the war. Therefore in the essay, I inspected the aspect and meaning of General Uljimundeog and The Great Victory at Salsu both in ‘the closing period of the Goryeo Dynasty and the beginning period of the Joseon Dynasty’(麗末鮮初) and in the late period of the Joseon Dynasty. There were some poets named Gwon Geun, Jo Jun in the closing period of the Goryeo Dynasty and the beginning period of the Joseon Dynasty when the Won Dynasty had been changed into the Myeong Dynasty in China. And there were some poets, O Gwangun, Lee Gwangsa and Lee Yeongik in the late period of Joseon when the national power was being recovered after the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592 and the Manchu war in 1636. The poets were trying to provoke national pride by expressing and symbolizing General Uljimundeog and The Great Victory at Salsu in their poetry. And they tried to make politicians persue the peaceful nation by showing them YangJae, a tyrant in the Su Dynasty as an anti hero who had spoiled his nation by abusing military force to defeat the Goguryeo Dynasty and General Uljimundeog.
