조선 중기 성리학자 申欽의 和蘇詩

Abstract

Su Shi(蘇軾, 1036~1101）was one of the most distinguished poets in the Northern Song(北宋) dynasty(960~1127), until now most of his poems are very influential, and he occupies important position in the history of Chinese literature. His poems were introduced into Koryo(高麗) during his lifetime. After that, his poems were widely read by the poets of Koryo and Chosun(朝鮮) dynasty(1392~1910). But in the middle period of the Chosun dynasty, admiration for Su Shi declined with the appearance of Korean neo-Confucianists. Following the neo-Confucianists of the Song dynasty, they criticized both Su Shi’s academic theory and his literary character, but I found Shin Heum(申欽), one of the most distinguished Korean neo-Confucianists, wrote some responding poems to Su Shi’s(和蘇詩). Shin Heum did not write much responding poems to Su Shi’s, but we can say the fact that he had written some responding poems to Su Shi’s in spite of being one of the most distinguished Korean neo-Confucianists is considerably meaningful, because other Korean neo-Confucianists of this period disliked Su Shi and his poems.
