역대 詩話集에 나타난 정몽주 시에 대한 비평과 그 의미

Abstract

Poeun Jeong Mong-ju is a representative politician and poet of late Koryo dynasty. Seo Geo-jeong wrote serious literary criticism on Jeong Mong-ju’s poetry in Dongin-sihwa for the first time among many collections of anthology/criticism. After that, many literati wrote some criticism on Poeun's character or Poeun’s literature in their own collections of anthology/criticism, such as Cho Shin's Somun-swaerok, Heo Gyun's Seongsu-sihwa, Hong Man-jong’s Sohwa-sipyeong, and Ha Gyeom-jin’s Dong-sihwa. We can find some comments on Poeun not only in collections of anthology/criticism, but also in another collections of literary works. And any literati, whoever either were related with Poeun or respected him, mentioned him in their writings. In Dongin-sihwa, Seo Geo-jeong opined about Poeun’s poetry as follows: “His poetry is indomitable, brave, free-hearted and outstanding.” Since then, his poems had been mentioned as excellent works. Especially organizing the history of Korean poetry in Hogok-sihwa, Nam Yong-ik ranked Poeun as a representative poet of ‘hobang(豪放-manly and large minded)’, and many critics considered hobang as the distinctive characteristic of Poeun’s poetry. In this paper, I explained that Poeun’s poems in the hobang were generally written on the places of top of high mountains or towers. Climbing the top of mountains or towers and looking out endless views of landscape, he felt some great spirit(浩然之氣) and wrote manly and large mined poems. Poeun himself named this great spirit ‘hogi(豪氣)’. Other characteristics of Poeun’s poem are of sensibility and technique. He gave full play to his talent as a poet in his sensitive and artful poems. Cho Shin, in his book, Somun-swaerok, appraised Poeun’s poems in sensibility and technique as ‘gongchi(工緻-talented and delicate)’. A considerable number of Poeun’s talented and delicate poems have aspect of Tang poetry.
