ABSTRACT

This is considered two consciousness and their subjective sensation which are the center of the poems of Ahn-Chook. This is the attempt to value his poems in an appropriate way through the association and probability of consciousness that may not be related to his realistic literary works that received attention in the meantime. First of all, the poems of Ahn-Chook mainly consist of a custom and people as Lee, Je-Hyun mentioned; ‘Nine out of ten are about right and wrong of a custom and the joys and sorrows of people.’ Especially, the people who suffered from hardship derived from the geographic setting, the reflective declaration of sense of responsibility as a government officer and the endeavor to reform the society are the representative characteristics of his poems. This has the background of Neo-Confucianism, its main idea, and its consciousness is well reflected in his poems. Meanwhile, he wrote loads of poems that show inner-sides which are contrary to realism. This is the reason why he left many literary works on natural beauty and its perpetualness through trying to contact with nature and yearning for an ideal world; this is the literary tendency that tries to apply the effects of the surroundings to his internal experience and spirit. Especially, the reason why the writer tried to contact with nature and wrote about yearning for nature is because nature gives the emotional stability, and it is obtained by the idea that he sticked to become transmundane on account of anguish in reality. As above showed, the poems of Ahn-Chook is formed with realistic literary works and consciousness literary works that he had paid attention. Although the two look unrelated to each other, in actual, they are effective in order to interpret his poems because of their close relations.
