Existing studies have approached Yeongsuhap(令壽閤)’s Chinese poetry in the light of women’s literature. That is, they have looked at how gentry women in the late Chosun period expressed their consciousness in Chinese poetry with cultural and literary varieties. On the contrary, this study attempts to infer the poet’s consciousness through their works and examine their literary significance in the context of their writing backgrounds as it is important to appreciate the literary values of their works by analyzing the intrinsic characteristics inherent in the works. In other works, this study has its significance in that it focuses on traits inherent in the works themselves and pure sentimental aspects they have by taking a microscopic point of view. First of all, Nongseo(隴西) has pure and simple poems that portray surrounding landscapes and joys from daily life with cheongshin(淸新) senses, matching pure and simple nature and bringing out their chungdam(沖澹) traits. In quantity, a majority of them express their motherhood while still a majority describe their longing for their hometown, Hanyang, with warm but disciplined voices. Yeongsuhap directly expresses these feelings, imparting jeanah(典雅) beauty through “aebulsang(哀而不傷)” senses. Again, ”Euijak(擬作)“ the intercalrary poem work with her husband, depicts the consciousness of a well-versed classical scholar rather than womanly sentimentality, which can be explained as the influence of scholarly culture on the gentry woman’s upbringing. However, it can be assured that Yeongsuhap established her own wolrd of poetry with a warm eye as a mother who embraces the others while peering into reality with a sharp insight.
