ABSTRACT

 Hong, gwui-dal was a celebrated poet in early Joseon Dynasty. To investigate the esthetic pivot which composed his poem world, we can find that ‘Heobaek[虛白]’ got settled thereinto. Significance of ‘Heobaek’ was the source that enabled the creation of poem, which went through his poem world.  Basically he was prepared with the ability to compose typical poem and sentence equipped with formality as bureaucrat literary person at that time. However, on the other hand, he composed a work which pursued free and lonely life to enjoy alone in the nature. This duplicity had a significant meaning in his poetic literature.  The word ‘Heobaek’ came from 『Chuang-tzu』. The meaning of it was the expression of will to aim for the life which could reveal the nature of an object as it is in the emptied mind state just as ‘A bright light shines in an empty room’. When investigating the concept of ‘Heobaek’ in terms of esthetics, we can see that the image of ‘Heojeong[虛靜]’ and ‘Cheonjin[天眞]’ came from this. Also, as the analysis result of the work, we could determine that the poem world such as monologue within the modest mind, reminiscence in the stage of living in easy retirement, pursuit for being content with one’s lot, etc. was embodied in this esthetic background.
