益齋 李齊賢의 東國關聯 詩 創作과 意圖

Abstract

Literary intellectuals (Munin) described the history of Dong-kuk (the eastern country) and the greatness of the founders of Dong-kuk in their literary works. Ikjae, Gajung, Mogeun were the leaders of this trend because they experienced discrimination in Won for a great deal of time Among them, Ikjae was the head supreme of all fields, including policy, literature, etc. Ikjae tried to create a new tradition of writing Dong-kuk poetry, which content dealing mainly with Dong-kuk history and culture, as well as breaking established pattern of Hansi, which dealt with mainly Chinese history and people. Ikjae developed a model of writing poems with themes chosen from historical facts that would be then passed down to descendents. The poetic forms he employed included such formas as, Geunchesi, Gochesi, and Yue-fu. Dong-kuk's ancient history was included in Geunchesi. The most popular form of poetry was a seven-line style of Chinese poetry. There were also five-line of Chinese poems and five-line styles of chines verse. Five-line style of chines verse was used to describe Dong-kuk's nature and culture. Gochesi dealt with Dong-kuk's people and historical relics. Ikjae modelled after Choihae who had distinct talents but did not fully utilize his ability. Choihae's life was divided into three parts and described in detail. Goryoe's folk songs and ballads were subject matters when 'Soakbu' was created. Geubam and Mogeun responded to those models Ikjae created. They tried to follow Ikjae's model sincerely despite the differences in their work owing to personal traits and abilities. Poetry describing Dong-kuk's history, culture and people was later taken up by Mogeun, and this influenced to other literary intellectuals in the late Goryeo and early Joseon periods.
