Abstract

This thesis gives careful consideration to the background of writing <Mokjujapga>, a kind of traditional three verse stanza by written Hwang Yon Seok, connecting with the status of local noblemen , the social and political background of the latter of the 18th. The general characteristic of <Mokjujapga> and the consciousness of writer was heavily scrutinized through an in-depth analysis of this poem. Also by looking into the structures of <Mokjujapga>, the universal characteristic of Yeonsijo was examined. Surveying the life of Hwang Yoon seok and the settlement of his family in Ho-nam area, it can be revealed that <Mokjujapga> was closely concerned with his government official life and his family destiny. He wrote this work while he was serving as top leader of Mokcheon, Mokcheon-hyongam. He governed an town for the first time and he thought this period as a good chance to show his ability. He created <Mokjujapga> to arrange new turning point for his political path. In <Mokjujapga>, Hwang Yoon Seok expressed the gratitude for the king, his will to reward king's favor and an overwhelming moment of appointment as Mokcheon-hyongam. He displayed his agony over political state of that era, too. He intended to boost honor to his family by presenting the settlement background of his family in Ho-nam area and tracing his brilliant family origin, especially by emphasizing that his descendants inherited and followed the teachings left by his ancestors. In other words his intends to regain his identity and to enhance the status of his family were implied in this work. Also he dealt with the idea and practice of Neo-Confucianism to which he was devoted for his whole life. Above all he put emphasis on a practicing Neo-Confucianism which was based on building an upright character, referring to the Neo-Confucianism view of the world and the attitude toward developing one's mind. A certain way and principle in developing poetic concept could be found in <Mokjujapga>. Hwang Yoon Seok used the basic pattern which starts from himself and reaches his family or his ancestors. He developed three main concepts by using the ways repeatedly. It could be concluded that he had much interest in conveying meaning of poem rather than the form of Yeonsijo.
