薑山 李書九의 初期 詩 考察 - 「韓客巾衍集」을 중심으로

Abstract

In the early works of Kangsan Lee Seo Gu, he claims to stand for the rural life and beautifully illustrates the sceneries. The nature is calmly and lively pictured as a restful space for life. But his inner conflicts with obscure reality as well as the physical exhaustions are constantly portrayed through out his early works. Moreover, it can be seen in his works that Kangsan made his efforts to build up moral character and to overcome the weariness. One of characteristics of Kangsan's early poems is that he tried to show academical aspects by subjectively criticizing Chinese poets. And also he annotated detailed informations about the poet after the criticism. That is why another special feature of his early works is the frequent use of annotations. Like the footnotes on the Chinese poets, his explanatory remarks not only helps readers understand the poem itself but also functions as historical evidence for the history, great figures, and geographical designations of Josun. Kangsan was fascinated by Wang Sa Jeong's poetry, and he followed the poetical style of Tang(唐). Although Wang Sa Jeong also had used notes, it doesn't mean that Kangsan imitated him or thoroughly followed him. Kangsan tried to make a good use of Tang style, but didn't miss to transform it into his own style and characteristic. He also used proper nouns of Josun or some obscure and vulgar materials which were thought as inappropriate for poetry by the past generation poets. This was to avoid idea and abstraction which are basic characteristics of Tang style, and to describe reality thoroughly. This realism is an immature but innovative technique. And especially that he illustrated the sceneries and used proper nouns of Josun in his writings, was truly based on the love of his country and the style.
