Abstract

This paper compared the self consciousness between Kim Uncho, typical gisaeng poet of late Chosun Dynasty, and Liu Rushi, typical gisaeng poet during late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, through self consciousness as a gisaeng and writer, and consciousness of kind. Drifting flu from wandering all the life, desire of freeing herself from membership as a gisaeng and living a stable life have been appeared in both of their poems. It showed the awareness as a writer to try to put the emotions such as , pleasure, angry, sorrow and happiness into the poem. They also sighed about the difficulties of composing poems and finding an intimate friend who can understand her. Although two poets shows modesty about their poetic genius, complications and reflection of Kim Uncho when composing poems is mch more like complex, which forms a striking contrast to Liu Rushi. Kim Uncho thinks composing poem can help her man, but Liu not only did creative literature by herself, but also compiled collection of poems. Different attitude on literature between two poets is also resulted from men's valuation standard on women of late Chosun Dynasty and late Ming Dynasty early Qing Dynasty. In late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the social environment recognized the women's capability of literature and allowed them to involve in it. But in Late Chosun Dynasty, female virtues has been emphasized much more than literary talent, and this contradictions can also be found in Kim's poets. Consciousness of kind with other concubine writers appeared in Kim's poets, but it can not be found in Liu's poets. This shows a special different example between gisaeng (or concubine) poets from late Chosun Dynasty and late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. And Samhojeong Poetry Society has been organized only in Korea. The reason can be the difference between identity as gisaeng and concubine, and also it was very difficult for the gisaeng poets to join in the society formed by unit of family. This study focused on comparing Kim and Liu's self consciousness, the typical gisaseng poets of two country, as one part of comparing study on gisaeng literature of Korea and China. The common feature and difference of two country has been confirmed through this comparison. On the basis of this study, to find common feature of gisaeng literature'f history in east asia by continuing the study on others poets, will make it a much more meaningful study to both women's literature and comparative literature of two countries.
