조선시대 自挽詩의 특수 유형

Abstract

This article is intended to introduce some self-elegy poems of special type. Self-elegy is a special kind of autobiographical writings in East Asia, so in terms of theme, it is irregular in itself. But by the time of late Joseon, appeared another irregularity in its theme and writing style. I regard these irregularities as the special types of self-elegy poetry. As to irregularities in contents, Kim Jo-soon imagined the second anniversary of death of himself, Park Chi-won wrote about a revival of himself, Lee Eon-jik reflected the spirit of the time writing about fidelity to Ming Dynasty. As to irregularities in writing style, Jung Ki-an used a form of Guache poetry(科體詩 ), Seok Ji-hyung added lines to the works of Du Fu( ). Writers in Joseon imposed multiple meanings on self-elegy. They didn't take it simply as the last words before one's death, they fully acknowledged its efficiency in self-expression with some intentions. So the works referred in this articles should be fully recognized as the aspects of self-transition and development.
