언양(彦陽) 유배기 포은시의 몇 가지 양상

Abstract

In this paper, I studied intensively about Poeun Jeong Mong-ju’s poems composed during the period of his banishment. He was exiled to Eonyang(Ulsan) at the age of 39. He composed a poem in Eonyang, composed four poems in Gimhae. He also composed five poems on the way to Gaegyeong, the capital of Goryo. His poem composed in Eonyang was related to Yu Jong-won’s poem. Yu Jong-won was a poet of Tang Dynasty, China. Poeun got inspiration and adapted an end rime from Yu Jong-won’s poem. They have something in common. They were both rising scholars at their times. They both had capacity and rationality to revamp politics. For all that, they were exiled to a remote place why they resisted political authority. In their poems, they expressed grief and lamentation from painful realities of life. But they still hoped to be released from banishment and move on to better place. Poeun’s poems composed in Gimhae were mainly related to Yeonja Pavilion. He described his feelings and historical facts focused on the scenery, historic sites, and important people of Gimhae. He did not express deep sorrow as an exile there. After he wrote The record of Gimhae Fortress. If you read it, you will understand his mind as an official, administrator, and an strategist. After he was free from an exile, he composed poems on the way to Gaegyeong. He came to the capital by travelling through Uisung and Youngcheon. In his poems there, he showed sadness and desperation for uncertain future. Also he compared himself to a lame donkey. He seemed to accept present conditions silently. Poeun remembered Ja-you, a disciple of Confucius, who governed Museong quite well. He thought Youngcheon similar to Museong and reminded great governors of Youngcheon such as Jeong Seup-in, Choi Won-yu, and Ha Ryun. Poeun still held on an attitude as a good Confucianist and governor, though he was just free from an exile. Kim Gu-yong and Jeong Do-jeon were also exiled to a remote place for the same reason. They composed many poems there. Reading their poems, you can recognize serious conflict between retirement from the world and government service plainly. Their poems are different from Poeun’s poems. They composed many poems in a place of exile while Poeun composed only one poem there. Furthermore they imagined the future of the nation differently from Poeun.
