楚亭 朴齊家의 燕行詩

Abstract

Cho Jung Park Je-ga had been traveled China four times. He learned Bukhaksasang based on public welfare, a wealthy country and a powerful army, utilitarianism, and rationalism through these trips. These trips became turning point to his life and literature. Early Cho Jung's works included thrill of butterflies and curiosity about scenery of China which he had read in book or heard through envoys. After he be astonished by awe and ecstasy of nature on the trip, he steadily looked into others and himself. He was concerned about history and territories of the Kogurye and the Balhea Dnasty and he wrote poems about these things. Also he was interested in both historical facts and issues of the present. He was concerned about history of China very much. Wherever he visited, he wrote poems about origin or history of the name of each place. He was pleased by his visiting a place only read in books. When he visited battlefield of the Myoung and the Chung Dnasty, he wrote poems about the pain of the war. However he insisted that we should look squarely reality and accept actualism. He interchanged people of the Chung Dnasty through books composed illustrated poems. Although this got accomplished in private, aspects of interchange were transformed into direction of understanding of information and knowledge about scholarship. Advocated poems divided people and poetry and prose of the Chung Dnasty contained eager wish on foreign fellows. He was limited by realities so he didn't show his talent and seek real friends in the Joseon Dynasty. However, in the Chung Dynasty, he could display his talent widely so he was eager for real friends.
