漁村 沈彦光의 한시에 나타난 죽음의 형상화와 미적특질

Abstract

Eochon-Shimeunkwang(1487-1540) is the writer in the middle of the Choseon Dynasty, especially during the reign of Jungjong in the first half term of the 16th- century. He is a also representative politician. Eochon passed the civil service examination in 1513 and then successively filled various government posts. The focus of this paper is on poetry about death like Mansi(挽詩). Eochon 's Mansi(挽詩) is important to in Chinese poetry history. Because he was a prolific author of poet and left excellent works that have remarkable poetic imagery. The tradition of Mansi creation begins with Kimbusik in Korean traditional literary history. Writing Mansi had become a custom for paying one's respects to the souls of the dead since the 17th-century. The various tendency of creation had been developed during this time period. Eochon played a role of bridge which establish a link between late Koryo and the second half of the Chosun Dynasty. 『Eochonjib』, the collection of his works run 60 pieces of Mansi(挽詩). He was the most abundant production in writing of Mansi(挽詩) in 15-16century. His poems were excellent in literary value as well as quantity. They are outstanding in mourning death and expressing sorrow. There are many long pieces in Eochonjib's Mansi(挽詩). We can find even poems that are well-organized structure of narrative in his works. Probably these poems must have lengthen out because he had a strong hunger to express the lamentation over the dead. The dead are his loved ones such as his family, friends, and so on. In short, I hope that this paper have shed new light on Eochon's status in Chinese poetry history in Korea.
