天籟 李廷稷 詩 硏究

Abstract

Lee Jeong Jik(李廷稷, 1781~1816), father of Lee Sang Jeok(李尙迪, 1804~1865), who was one of the important official interpreter-poet, was short-lived, and yet a man of achievement as a poet. But he was completely unattracted scholastic attention, owing to his poetical work’s alienation to the scholars. When Lee Sang Jeok went to YanJing(燕京), the Capital of Qing Dynasty, as a member of Chosun Dynasty’s diplomatic delegation, he printed his father’s poetical works, The Poems of Natural Sound(天籟詩稿), and came back to Chosun with it. It was composed of 312 poems. In Lee Jeong Jik’s preface to these poems, he expressed that composing poetry was his only taste. This paper classified his poems into four kinds and surveyed them. First, we read the poems of self-consciousness, expressed as a poet and a man of intelligence. Second, we read and surveyed the poems which were composed when he was as an interpreter of diplomatic delegation to Qing Dynasty. Third, we read and surveyed the poems of missing father, who died early and the poems of loving his child. Last, we read and surveyed the poems which modelled after old Chinese ballads. After reading his poetical works, we tried to verify him as an excellent poet, and as a perfect ideal to be followed by his son, Lee Sang Jeok.
