Abstract

As part of the research into the followers of Uam Song, Si-yeol, this thesis studies life and writing of Hancheondang Oh, Jae-jeong, focused on ‘Songcheonpalkyong’ poems. He is a literati and a scholar as well as a writer living in Munui, Cheongju in the late Joseon Dynasty. Oh, Jae-jeong was a devoted son of a filial family and became a follower of Uam because of his brightness and intelligence. In later life, he built Songcheonjaesa(松泉齋舍), ritual house of his family, in Samki, Munui because his ancestors’ graves were there, and thought of the house as Jangsucheo(藏修處), a place to concentrate on learning and train nature and spirit. He stayed there to revere his ancestors, follow his teacher’s wishes, concentrate on his studies, foster the younger generation, etc. And he also named the area ‘Songcheongugok’, 9 Great Sinuosities of Songcheon. It is significant because he led the activity of naming scenic places ‘gugok’, which is one of the main activities of the Kiho School. In addition, he named 8 other places of the area ‘Songcheonpalkyong’, 8 Great Views of Songcheon, and wrote poems of palkyong. They show his orientation of life, learning attitude, origin of learning as a scholar as well as beautiful scenery of Songcheon. They originate from his life who cultivated his mind and concentrate on study living in nature as a Hancheoncheosa(寒泉處士) and a Songcheoncheosa(松泉處士), and perfectly show Samki, Munui as a region of noble scholars and also a region of study.
