Su Shi(蘇軾, 1036~1101) was one of the most distinguished poets in the Northern Song(北宋) dynasty(960~1127). His poems were widely read by the poets of Koryo(高麗) dynasty(918~1392) and Chosun(朝鮮) dynasty(1392~1910) for about 900 years. But in the middle Chosun dynasty, admiration for Su Shi declined with the appearance of Korean neo-Confucianists. They criticized both Su Shi’s academic theory and his literary character, but I found Choi Yip(崔岦, 1539~1612), one of the most distinguished writer and neo-Confucianists of Chosun, was influenced by Su Shi(蘇軾) quite a bit. Choi Yip(崔岦) wrote some responding poems to Su Shi’s(和蘇詩), in order to communicate with Su Shi(蘇軾) mentally, or to compete with Su Shi(蘇軾) and show off his ability. And he often used Su Shi’s poetic words by metamorphosing into his own poems, he also mentioned Su Shi’s episodes in his own poems. These facts mean Choi Yip(崔岦) admired Su Shi, and they also show us his will to accept and study Su Shi’s poetry. Choi Yip(崔岦) was one of the most distinguished writers in the literary circle of the middle Chosun Dynasty, so we can suppose that his admiration to Su Shi deeply affected the other writers of those days.
