우곡(愚谷) 정자후(鄭子厚)에 대한 소고

Abstract

When talking about the literary world of late Goryeo Period, Ugok Jeong Ja-hu does not receive much attention compared to Lee Je-hyeon, Choi Hae, Yi Gok, Min Sa-pyeong and Lee Saek. But judging from Choi Hae, Min Sa-pyeong and Lee Saek's works, he was a respected figure of the time called ‘Cheoldong Samam’ with Lee Je-hyeon and Kim Ryun, also a great scholar that many students gathered under his name, and also proficient in poetry. The circumstance that famous poets of that time such as Lee Je-hyeon, Choi Hae, Min Sa-pyeong, Kim Ryun, Yi Gok, Hwang Seok-gi, Woo Gil-saeng, Lee In-bok, Kwon Gwon-gong, Lee Dal-chung, Kim Sa-do, Kim Gwang-jae, Oh Soon, Jang Hang, Hong Tak, Kim Doo, An Jin and Yang On held poetry meetings around Jeong Ja-hu, and made poems with his form can be found at Min Sa-pyeong's Geubam-poem collection, Dongmunseon and several literary works of Yi Gok and Lee Saek. Nevertheless, he had no descendants, and no literary works were handed down, so it is regrettable that the aspect of his poems can be only found at three poems in Dongmunseon.
