ABSTRACT

A poetical style in the late Goryeo and the early Joseon was formed the mainstream of the Song dynasty’s poetic style including Su Dongpo. From a year of King Seongjong, especially the Gangseo poetical style dominated momentarily even out of Song dynasty’s poetic style. Tang Poetry, which had been intermittently followed from the early foundation of a country with entering the 16th century, was finally in full blossom with entering the period of Mokneungseongse(穆陵盛世). In the meantime, the poetic style faced a turning point in the age of Korea’s Hansi(Chinese poetry) history. There were three tang-style poets in the center of Learning Dang’s Poem. This study aims to address the poetic world of Okbong Baek Gwang-hun, who published collection of poems for the first time among three tang-style poets, whose number of works are extraordinarily many, too, who is selected as the best poet in Honam, and who is publicly acknowledged to have greatest refinement of Five-word Poems in a thousand years. In the introduction of ChapterⅠ, it examined the existing research achievements, and inquired into research objective and research method. In Okbong’s poetic world of ChapterⅡ, it performed the formal classification and the content-based classification in works first through a general survey of works. It examined by segmenting the contents of works in the world of work into what feels homesick in a strange land, what expressed the yearning heart with having a friend far away, the sorrow of solitude, which feels regrettable for separation from a friend, the reminiscence of uncertainty, which recited sentiments of being felt while associating with historical fact on the historical field, the scenery of the season in nature with the aim of discovering the matter-based ego in the subject amid nature, the uneasiness about life that is felt in government-post life of the chaotic world, and the unworldliness in friendship of being felt while giving and receiving poems with several Buddhist monks. Next, in the characteristics of Okbong’s poetry of ChapterⅢ, it proceeded with approaching important characteristics of Okbong’s poetry, by exploring the rhetorical characteristics and the content-based characteristics. Okbong accepted Tang Poetic Style, but maintained individuality. He completed individual and intuitive poetry that is excellent in creativity, thereby having obtained a name as a poet of Tang poetical style by changing himself in the middle of poem with leading a peaceful living, and allowed even internal conflict to be sublimed artistically. He can be said to be great in the significance of poetic-literary history in a sense that individualized literature by freely poetizing the specific and individual living emotion and by recovering independent world in poem with escaping from the trend of regarding poem as a means of cultivating culture or nature in life of Sadaebu(scholar-officials of Joseon).
