ABSTRACT

After resigning, Yuanmei began living in Suwon in earnest and devoted a lot of time to write poems. The ultimate purpose was to realize ‘rising in the world and gaining fame(立身揚名)’ and make his name known to future generations, the other was to make a living through economic income generation. While faithfully fulfilling these practical purposes, he wrote about 4,500 poems in the ≪Xiaocangshanfangshiji小倉山房詩集≫ 37 volumes and ≪Buyi補遺≫ 2 volumes. The collection of poems reflected his life of over 60 years between the ages of 21 and 82. He reflected the whole story of his life as a poet into his work. In particular, after resignation, he greatly emphasized his agony and passion as a poet. He described in detail the pain of creation, how to write a poem, and the publication of poetry based on his experience. He also delicately expressed the daily life of a poet who lived by working on his creation every moment. During these 60 years, he did not give up his passion for creation and grew into a poet representing the Qing Dynasty. Poetry was the driving force of his life. He established his own self- awareness and increased his existential value, in addition, it was possible to build an independent world of its own by writing a poem.
