Yoon Soon-geo, along with Confucianists of the Giho area, was known to the world for his integrity and scholarship as an outstanding figure who enjoyed the time. Yoon Soon-geo returned to his hometown with his cousin, Yoon Won-geo, when his father was exiled as Cheokhwasin during the Byeongja War and his uncle died in Ganghwado. He stayed in hometown and laid the the academic foundation of the Noseong Papyeong Yun Clan. By practicing the learning of authenticity and endeavo in life, he strengthened friendship with brothers by establishing a clan meeting and a clan school, and enacting a clan code, and lectured his studies. Yoon Soon-geo communicated with his brothers, sons and nephews through literature and interacted with teachers and freiends as appreciative friends. We can see Yoon Soon-geo’s perception of the situation of the chaotic era and how his sense of response to reality were expressed through poems created at that time. Yoon Soon-geo took public office as Daegunsabu at the age of 50. He didn’t attain distincion maintaining the political view of AnbinNakdo, but applied the studies he pursued to reality in the given environment. The poems written during his rule of counties expressed a sense of loyalty and devotion. This was intended to enlighten the people in the world, where morals had fallen and the customs had become vulgar, through the pursuit of integrity, and to lead them to return to a place of virtue. In Uichun-hyeon, he established Nam Hyo-on and Yi Hwang’s shrine, held rituals according to the etiquette, and performed Hyangsarae. In Geumguhyeon, he revealed the integrity of Ganghang to the world by publicating 『Ganyangrok』. In Yeongwol-gun, he arranged 『Norungji』 and reconstructed Jideokam to commemorate the loyalty and fidelity of King Danjong and his followers, and performed Hayngeumjurae to correct the corrupt customs. Yoon Soon-geo’s poetry works are 674 pieces in total, many of which are travel poetry. All his life, he showed interest in scenary, expressing the emotions of traveling in a simple way. His travel poetry shows his emotions about scenary vary by time. You can feel Yoon Soon-geo’s literary sensibility, beauty of implcation and artistic aesthetics in the poems written after touring Mt. Geumgang and Kwandong. As a Confucianist of the Giho area cosidered as a Taoist or a preceptor, he did not enjoy writing for the sake of literature but faithfully embodied the perceptions and attitudes of the reality of the time in poetry.
