Wenwang is the most frequently mentioned poem among Shijing 305 poems in The Joseon Dynasty Politics. This study tries to take a look at the way that the poem was applied in the politics and the political ideology of Confucianism based on cases in The Annals of The Joseon Dynasty that cited the Wenwang. Chapter 2 covers the contents of Wenwang and the number of citations of Wenwang made by a line of kings. The next chapter examines how frequently each phrase on Wenwang had been used in the political field. On chapter 3, we classified cases of citation appeared on The Annals of The Joseon Dynasty into vassals and kings. This is due to the fact that the purpose of quoting the poem can completely be different depending on the political opinions derived from each position. First, those who quoted Wenwang as a king were mainly for solidifying the political position based on the principles of royalty handed by the Confucianism. On the other hands, vassals who quoted Wenwang used the poem for various purposes including flattery, praise, checks and criticisms. Through researches so far, we have been able to discover that how one poem called Wenwang had a huge impact on the Confucian politics in the Joseon Dynasty. This is because Joseon was a country aiming for the political ideology of Confucianism and Wenwang was on the apex of the ideology.
