회재 이언적의 시인식과 理趣詩 일고

Abstract

Lee eun-jeok made a way for a new aspect of literature by moving his innocent idea as it was, which he had realized from the reason of nature that does flow without cease in heaven and earth, into the literature, and further broadened the range of literature by establishing neo-confucian's nature recognition while he found natural beauty lied in nature and realized to bone even confucianism temperament in it. He elucidated again the inevitable relationship from the sympathy between human consciousness and materials, and embodied the substance of reason obtained from consolidation of reason of nature and ego, into his literature. The poetry cognition was divided into viewpoints; one is the pursuit of 'justice first, writings last', that is, justice is the foundation and poems are the end. It is that, with the goal of sages' justice, letters-only wringing style biased to flamboyant sentences and skillful format should be sublated but instead, the reason of nature resident in each phenomena of materials should be pursued, based on the typical confucianism that intends to obtain justice of life in the life and just of nature in the nature. The other one is that poems are to recite the temperament. To him, authentic poems were such ones in which pure temperament was revealed by conserving temperament and accumulating virtue. Moralistic ideologies poetry tried to apprehend his own ideologies while enjoying the pleasure in nature. It comes spontaneously in preserving the purity of freedom and can be obtained while living by the original simple nature by finding the original self through apprehension of things.
