Abstract

Notwithstanding that Yeongcheonja Shinjam(1491~1554) is an important poet who cannot be overlooked in the 16th century Honam poetic world, his life & poetry contents have been briefly unfolded. This study, with reference to the aspect of social intercourse of the 16th century Honam poetic world, arranged the aesthetic characteristics shown in Shinjam hànshī with 1) natural expression & narrativization of emotion, 2) symbolism and aesthetic consciousness implied in a bamboo and 3)tángshī-styled creation and application of Hyangryeom formality(poetic formality portraying mostly a woman’s figure), etc. This study intended to clarify that there exists a good possibility that Honam poets might have shared the aesthetic characteristics appearing in Shinjam hànshī in the midst homogeneous connectedness while undergoing the period of massacre of Confucian scholars. On the whole, Shinjam’s hànshī is emotive, and he expressed his explosive gloomy inmost thoughts and mind of exile unboundedly without filtering. Notably, he recited his indignation of feelings through full-length wǔyán gǔshī, and expressed his own gloomy thoughts in the manner of describing his usual experiences calmly. Shinjam embodied his mental intention, nobility, firm will, and integrity, etc. through a bamboo. This is also associated with a series of tendencies pursued by the then literary persons in link with integrity spirit of Gimyo Sarim(Confucian scholar). In other words, It might be safe to say that Shinjam’s embodiment of his spirit and mind through a bamboo is an symbolic expression of political bends, consciousness of kind, and the feeling of solidarity during the disadvantaged period. Shinjam made use of the romantic poetical style and mood of Seongdang(the prosperous tang dynasty), gǔtǐshī, Yuefu Poem, and a song of a private house, etc. for his literary works. Shinjam perused the works by the poets during the tang dynasty such as DùFǔ, Wáng Wéi, and LǐBái, etc. on the basis of QūYuán’s 「Chǔcí」, read the poems of 『wénxuǎn(文選)』, got deeply moved, appreciate them, and sometimes wrote gǔshī. It is also worthy of notice that he created poems of Hyangryeom formality in great number by staying true to a vein of humor, and playful sense of beauty. It could be analogized that the aesthetic characteristics of Shinjam hànshī might have made no little contribution to the change in poetical style of the 16th century Honam world of poetry, aspects of the poetic world, and formation of Honam culture. Clarifying Shinjam’s effect relationship within the Honam world of poetry is in need of a little closer consideration, and this study leaves this issue as a challenge for the time to come.
