Abstract

This paper examines Hong Yeo-ha (1621-1678) with art name of Mokjae (lit. Wood Altar) (1621-1678) as a government official from the Yeongnam Region and literary man to explore how he socialized with official-literati and local-government official-noblemen through his socialization poems. This aims to disclose the contemporary personnel who were active with Mokjae in the middle and second half of the 17th century and to define the political and regional reality surrounding the times of Mokjae so as to help understand not only the life of Mokjae but his works. Mokjae passed the civil examination and entered politics, but the political world at that time continued to see political strifes with Seoin faction, and Mokjae, who was in the Namin faction, eventually ended up being exiled after being assigned to a local post. He conveyed his feelings of consolation with his colleagues suffering ups and downs, got himself comfort through his colleagues, and showed a willingness to participate in reality by consistently establishing relationships with incumbent officials. He also established connections with influential households in the region, thanks to having passed the civil examination, as well as socialization achievements from his forefathers. In particular, Mokjae could not be free from the private academic inheritance influence handed down to Ryu Seong-ryong to Jeong Gyeong-se from his father Hong Ho, and this greatly influenced his socialization power. He joined efforts to promote the great goal of Toegyehak School transfer while having extensive fellowships with local official-noblemen. In conclusion, Mokjae's socialization efforts shown in his Sino-Korean poems are not so broad and colorful probably due to his poetry composition times, his short life and the turbulent circumstances of the times. The fact that Mokjae was a nobleman from the Yeongnam Region is also deemed to have limited his socialization efforts. This limitation is believed to have resulted from the great impact of political situations and social reality of the times. Although these external factors cannot be belittled, it is also clear that the people Mokjae socialized with were political and social celebrities, and that he pursued socialization beyond the factional bias or private academic influence. This paper disclosed the relationships between Mokjae and his contemporary noblemen to a certain degree and helped better understand the life of Mokjae.
