ABSTRACT

Since Ming and Qing dynasties, the communication between China and South Korea has become increasingly close, and with the close contact of the poets of South Korea, the literatus from period of Ming and Qing Dynasty paid more attention to the men of knowledge from South Korea. Living in Kangxi period, Zhu Yizun was one of the poets and literary critics who had a great interest in the literary world of South Korea. "Ming Poetry Collection" is a poetry anthology compiled by Zhu Yizun, on which the poems of poets from Hongwu period to early Chong Zhen period are collected. At the same time, on the 94th and 95th volumes of this book, the poems of poets from such four countries as South Korea, Annam, Champa and Japan are collected, among which, South Korea’s poems are mainly recorded. The 94th volume is divided into two parts, that is, Choson and North Korea, while the 95th volume is marked as the North Korea. Before the 18th century, the mainstream ideology in the poetry circle centered around revivalism and traditional preaches. Affected by the ideological trend at that time, Zhu strived for nature-oriented elegance in his literary creation, and proposed his own poetical theory of nature-oriented elegance. Such a poetical theory of Zhu was greatly affected by traditional poetic literature, and thus it emphasizes tenderness and simplicity. The poems of South Korea complied by Zhu Yizun on his Ming Poetry Collection can also reflect such a literary concept of Zhu. Therefore, this paper takes the poems of South Korea on Ming Poetry Collection as its research object, and explores influence of Zhu’s poetical theory of nature-oriented elegance on the tendency and features in the collection of his poems.
