Abstract

The dictionary meaning of locality is ‘characteristics containing the atmosphere of hometown or countryside’. In modern times, this locality has been treated as an important characteristic not only in literature but also in the arts in general. In particular, the work that considers the locality is one of the important methodologies for understanding the world of the work, as it allows you to look inside the artist. Here, the locality of Maecheon’s Chinese poetry is considered, and its meaning is summarized. This study examines how the realities of the intellectual and yangban status and village life were reflected in the work. Maecheon’s <Jong-eoyo> captures the resentment over the exploitation of peasants, the reality of busy farming villages that do not stop, and the beautiful countryside. Maecheon’s perception is doubled throughout the work, and this is a characteristic of Maecheon literature’s locality. The ideal village that Maecheon hoped for was the world depicted in <Sanwoo Yeomsu> and <Gangsang>. This is the foundation of Maecheon Literature Locality. Maecheon, who denied the world of ‘being’ and pursued the world ‘should be’, portrayed the same village in <Chajeonga> and <Sanwoo Yeomsu>. In this way, in the conflict between reality and ideal, the poetic image of a double village is the locality of Maecheon literature. <Wonsigsib-oyeong> was made into a work mainly due to the realistic perception of the villages surrounding Maecheon. The gap between identity and reality was often revealed in his works, but <Wonsigsib-oyeong> is a representative example. Maecheon’s perception of the reality of villages stems from his difficult life, and for him, villages have always been a part of life, not an objective counterpart.
