李穀의 詩世界와 自我意識

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the literary view of the poem written by Ga Jeong, Lee-Gok of the latter part of the Koryo dynasty, to grasp the writer's view, and further to interpret how they all are connected to his self-consciousness in order to form the poem. The characteristic of the poem is to keep expressing the writer's self- consciousness. Poem is a genre which certainly expresses internal consciousness: its focus is to picture both internal and external meanings of the poem in the way of finding a meaning outside of writing. However, not all materials and subjects are like mentioned above. In that point of view, the literature of the poem, in general, relates to the self-consciousness. The reason why this became the starting point of this discussion is because the poem mainly says about self-reflection and reminisce about life. In particular, his writings which are expressed for the whole period make readers as if they are reading diaries. First of all, the awareness of the reality of this poem can be ascertained through the writer's politics: ‘Cheoninsanggwanron’ In fact, the writer thought that ‘Jai’ was related to politics by connecting the idea to the theory of ‘Cheoninsanggwanron’ from ‘Dongjungseo’ which is not easy to ascertain among the literary men, and setting a relationship between the sky and human beings. And he put the reason for the exemplary government in the people. Therefore, his literary views always contain the spirit of loving people, and are formalized agonies of a government official who suffered from contradiction between reality and ideality. In addition, there are a lot of pieces of works which talk about nature as their subject material in the literary view of the poem. The things that readers can catch from the works are the attitude of uncertainty and reflection of life, purification of one's mind that are naturally expressed. This seems to be contained all agonies of his official career, homesickness of his hometown, and longing for his parents when being in government services both in Koryo and Won dynasty. On the other hand, this view of nature has a different type from Neo-Confucianism that Mok-eun Lee-Saek, his son showed, and it is an evidence that Neo-Confucianism had not been established firmly yet.
