ABSTRACT

This study focuses on Jehwasi[題畵詩] of the 17th century that is written especially on Chinese paintings. In the 17th century, there is a great change in social, cultural, economic aspects owing to Manchu’s invasion of Korea in 1636(丙子胡亂) and the Party Strife. Therefore Jehwasi also reflects the complicated thoughts of the poets. It can be roughly categorized into two trends. First, Jehwasi written by Chosun’s Literary men in the 17th century expresses sorrow over the miserable social conditions and Anti-Qing sentimentality(反淸意識). The poets concentrated more on showing their personal feelings than its own artistic achievements. Second, the works express a longing for unworldliness land of poets. They tried to escape from these harsh realities by looking at peaceful and dreamlike scenes in Chinese paintings. Consequently, on the one hand they hoped to go to the unworldliness land but on the other they felt social responsibility as intellectuals while they watched Chinese paintings. Also their high level poets increased the value of paintings.
