沙川 沈𪗆의 시세계 연구

Abstract

This writing is the first research of Sacheon Simje(沙川 沈𪗆); not only reviewing his life and overal anthology but also clarifying whole appearance of his poems. The approach on the poetic world of Sacheon is prerequisite for investigating the real situations of the groups of Sobuk(小北) and Sobukpalmunjang(小北八文章) of the 17th century and finding literary achievements. The first approach is to investigate the aspect of aspiration for the unsecular world caught in the process of having self-awareness. Through it, some of the conscious world of Sacheon were found. It was identified that he attempted to escape from secular anxieties by entering unsecular space as the sacred boundary and nature, in a bid to resolve inner conflicts. The second approach is to explore poetic achievements of works, based on poems composed and dedicated that special sentiment the author has is expressed and at the same time the grief of farewell is sublimated aesthetically. Sacheon's poems composed and dedicated tend to assume a strong meaning of interchanges since the objects of his poems are limited to the Sobuk literary group or their relatives and in-laws relatives and his poems imply sincerity. In that sense, they are of significance. The third approach is to review the pattern of poetic imagery of particular aspects of women, by examining poems expressing lamentation of the dead that represent the tendency of creation of the Sobukpalmunjang group. There is also the approach on taoistic views of life and death that Sacheon expressed, selecting the sacred world as a subject or background. This is a specific viewpoint without exception.
