퇴계의 산수 음영과 자연미 인식의 양상

Abstract

The poetry of hills and streams recited by Toegye included the joyous feelings that derived from meeting with all the beauties of nature at each place. So there is a need to raise a issue for the fundamental objects of the joyous feelings. Those are the most detailed form of the beauties of nature what Toegye grasped. From this viewpoint, we analyzed several representations of natural objects captured in the poetry of hills and streams recited by Toegye. And hereby, we wished to investigate essential aspect of Toegye’s realization for the beauties of nature. The representations of natural objects captured in the poetry of hills and streams recited by Toegye show three kinds of shape including parallel, resonance and fusion in relation to Toegye’s poetic persona. These three kinds of shape are tied to the way to recognize the beauties of nature including equilibrium, injection and immersion. Parallel, resonance and fusion belong to the concept of harmony. Equilibrium, injection and immersion belong to the concept of intimacy. Intimacy for things produce the harmony between things and poetic persona. Therefore, the pleasure closely watching beauties of nature every day is the result of intimacy also. Toegye had said it is an elegant enjoyment. However, why did this elegant enjoyment must be in the property of the hermit scholar? This is because hermit scholar has required the quiet days of mountains and forests as a condition of survival.
