李敬儒의 詩文學觀 一考 -『滄海詩眼』을 중심으로-

Abstract

The 『Changhaesian(滄海詩眼)』, which Lee Kyung-yu (1750~1821), a writer of Yeongnam area wrote in the late of Chosun Dynasty, is a book about remarks on poetry which recorded criticism about poetry of many generations of China and Chosun. In this paper, I examined thoroughly basic recognition and intention about Lee Kyung-yu’s poetic literature shown in poetics and criticism of 『Changhaesian』. Lee Kyung-yu recognized Seong-Tang(盛唐) as one of the climaxes in the history of Chinese poem and, in particular, Chinese history of literary development. He evaluated Tu Fu’s poem as the best among the poems in the Seong Tang Dynasty because he considered the extremes of poetry’s craftsmanship was achieved. Lee Kyung-yu emphasized Haja(下字) as a requirement for constructing crafted poems, and regarded the importance of natural and subtle Daewoo(對偶) and last phrase Gyeolgu(結句) in Gubeob(句法). In addition, he considered it as important to select and use novel and unique poetic words while the characteristics, individuality, and spirit of the subject were well embodied in expression. Cheong(淸) and Ah(雅) appear in numerous cases as a complimentary piece of work that has shown excellent poetic achievement in 『Changhaesian』 . This means that Lee expressed clear and clean nature as the high-level mental boundary and highly valued the graceful, upright, and unworldly poems. In addition, he showed that he was oriented towards these poems of distinctive characters in creative writing.
