后山 鄭胤永의 연작 八老詩 일고찰

Abstract

The Song Dynasty's Liu kezhuang has written 10 works on the theme of old age. The work is called ten poems about old age. Under these influences, works on the theme of age were continuously built in Joseon. The rough content is lamentation about old age and skill due to old age. In terms of formality, it followed the basic form of the Liu kezhuang. However, the format and the object were altered by each writer. This was an effort to overcome the negative view of Liu kezhuang. First of all, I have grasped the flow of Joseon. Of course, I think there will be much more works than this. In order to gain access to the rough content, this paper first focused on Jung Yun-young's ‘Eight poems about old age’. Jeong Yun-yeong has composed eight works each for people and trees. In the work aimed at people, the main content is lamentation about old age and praise for old age. Also, through the constant contrast of age and skill, the focus was on skill. In the end, he overcame his old age with his skills and captured the leisurely life of his old age. Eight works on trees are also focused on robustness rather than old age. Praise was given to each subject by actively utilizing various examinations related to each subject. He also expressed his willingness not only to praise the object but to actively accept it in his life. He aimed to bring things together and to design his own life in old age. This paper has considerable limitations in the starting point of full-fledged discussion on Ten poems about old age. I will overcome these limitations one by one through continuous interest.
