沈翼雲 시의 구현양상 분석

Abstract

This article examines the embodiment aspects of Chinese poems written by Jisan Sim Ik Un(芝山 沈翼雲 (1734-)), a literary man of late Joseon period. He was born in a prominent family and was talented enough to be appointed as Ijohwarang when he was quite young. He was a youth with such promising future. However, he lost his office with severe berate for disturbing ethics due to his wrong deeds regarding ancestral issues and became involved in the crime of punishment to end his life in the place of exile. His work collections are 『Baekiljip(百日集)』 of two volumes and two copies only collecting his poetry and prose written up to his age of 34 before his exile. The poetry contained in 『Baekilsijip(百日詩集)』 are just 300 or so, but they show his achievements and status as an author very well. He was destined to the misfortune of Sinpyeyuri(身廢流離) to raise questions about the existing social order and express metaphorically his inner pain and anguish with various objects around him. He could pursue his own unique poetic world by expressing his personal experience and inner world authentically. Also, realizing the composition of Chinese poetry should never be restricted by the norms, laws, or poetic nostalgia, he used materials around him to criticize the world he viewed allegorically. Sim Ik Un pursued a positive and active life rather than coping with the situation he was in passively. Considering and deliberating on the true value deeply, he established a fluent literary world full of clearance and absorption and a flood of sentences. Always trying to find true beauty from various aspects of life that could be easily seen around us, he advanced a step forward from the literary view of ‘Literature should contain the truth.’ and showed wonderful value could be provided in ordinary life.
