AB - Nujeong had been used as a cultural space and rest place of some high classes and intellectuals, then it was a place they enjoyed the arts and discussed ideologies and communed with nature as an influence of the Confucian idea during the Chosun Dynasty. In such a rest, they recited poems to express their feelings. Aspects of those poems vary depending on Nujeong’s history, region and natural environment.
This is same in Nujeong of Cheonan. Because the northern Cheonan was early Baekje’s capital and crossroads, there were mainstream poems that implied the poets’ sorrow about ruination of Baekje and worry at a crossroads in there. In the central Cheonan, there remained the first king’s vestige of Goryeo Dynasty and scholars stayed on their way from north to south. Therefore, there were mainstream poems that implied worry and the first king’s vestige. This helped scholars to deal with their homesickness.
However the southern Cheonan had many areas of scenic beauty and pavilions in this place were located in nature, and so most poems’ material was nature.
Here are some features of poems related to Cheonan Nujeong’s regional characteristic. We can see sorrow for ruination of Baekje form Jewonru by Geojeong Seo and Chajiksanjewonruun by Bongryeong Gu, the first king’s vestige of Goryeo from Jecheongangunru by Jangwon Park and Deungcheonanseonhwaru by Jongjik Kim and the king’s vestige of Chosun from Yeongsojeong by King Sukjong. Our historical trace remains intact in these works. Seonhwaru by Seungso Lee and Cheonansuseonjeong by Suk Oh are poems about concern from homesickness. On the other hand, in Cheoksuru by Yu Sin and Hansikdeungcheoksuru by Bang Lim, they tried to be free from anxiety and variously expressed their feelings while passed by. Thus, these works show they reflected regional features well.
Poems recited in pavilions of scenic beauty show old scholars’ friendship and philosophical thought by representing landscape and responding to friends’ poems. Jahanjeong by Gwangheung Yu and Yongjujeong by Sanguk Han represent scholars’ daily life on pavilion. The image they assimilated with nature in Bokgujeong by Deuksin Kim and Gyeonghanjeong by Sijing Gwak is like a picture. In addition, Deungbokgwi by Yunwon Park tells about birth and death of all things in universe and order of cycle and Jeanjeong by Gwanghan Sin represents well his anguish over the situation he wanted to enjoy Tao in poverty. This shows poets brought natural environment to poems.
And to conclude, the poem actively reflected historical, regional and natural elements by location of Nujeong. Therefore, this means Nujeong had a big effect on our great culture from their humanity in Nujeong as well as the only value of Nujeong.
