龜村 柳景深의 生涯와 詩世界의 一局面 考察

Abstract

At the time of Guchon Lyu Kyung-sim, the major ruling class was still dominating the central political circle. However, it was the time of a sort of systematic change with the emerging group of Sarim entering the central political circle in earnest, showing the movement for change in the political leadership. In other words, Guchon can be said to be one of the representative scholars, writers and politicians from Andong who lived in the 16th century. In the Andong area, he is one of the so-called “Three Great Men of Andong (Andong Samgeol)” together with Seongnam Jang Moon-bo and Dongho Byeon Young-cheong. In particular, Guchon is well known for not having compromised his principles and beliefs even after he entered the central political circle. One such example is the fact that he showed his firmness and determination by refusing the request of Yun Won-hyung, who was the younger brother of Queen Munjeong and the uncle of King Myeongjong, to go easy on his privately-owned land in Jeongju, Pyeongan Province. When he was subsequently assigned a provincial governor of the southern and northern borders, he demonstrated his outstanding administrative ability to the people of the province by fulfilling his duty of defending the borders and taking good care of the people there. A memorial stone would be erected in his name after his incumbency. In terms of literature, although he did not leave many works, he also showed his ability as a man of letters by leaving some high-quality works. The brief summary of the conclusions obtained by looking at Guchon‘s world of literary works is as follows. First, it is a world of “anxiety(愁)” and “regret(恨),” with the two poetic words very often noticeable. It can be said that the anxiety and regret in his poems contain not just a single emotion but a complex emotion. All Secondly, it excellently embodies the fact that, in the era of Chinese delegations, he went beyond his duty as a delegate to expand his view of the world and perception through “insightful observation” and communicated with many public figures of the Ming Dynasty. He clearly realized that he was a baby in the woods through the delegation experience, and achieved an expansion of his new perception after the delegation. Lastly, in the world of his rhyme-borrowing poems, he expressed humility-as if he lacked much in his capabilities-while revealing his strong will to sweep the barbaric outlanders away from the southern and northern borderlands and not tolerate their stirring. In his literary works, he confessed that he devoted himself wholly to the study of experience, knowledge and learning as a scholar official, neglecting the military tactics of the military official as shown by Sun Bin and Wu Qi.
