ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the aspects of literary acceptance and variation focusing on bouts-rimes(和韻詩) which were composed by Lee Haeng(李荇) and Jo Jong-jin(趙琮鎭) based on 50 poems of Zhuzi(朱子)`s 「Namakchangsusi(南嶽唱酬詩)」. The results of analysis are summarized as follows. In the way of rime riche of classical chinese verse, Zhuzi made rhymes using ‘Tong-Un(通韻)’ in the first phrase. Lee Haeng and Jo Jong-jin accepted that method and used it as a rhyming word(韻字) in the first phrase of their works. In some cases, however, the rhyming word used in the original poems of Zhuzi was not applied. Lee Haeng and Jo Jong-jin mainly changed the rhyming word of the last phrase into different one with same rhyme group(韻目). This is the embodiment of differentiation of subject consciousness through the variation of rhyming word. The differentiation of subject consciousness can also be seen in the poems which were written in the original rhyming word(原韻). Lee Haeng and Jo Jong-jin accepted the subject consciousness contained in Zhuzi's original poems, but made some variation with their own allegory(寓意) and expression of intention(言志). At the same time, Lee Haeng and Jo Jong-jin compared their minds to the scenery of the season(景物), borrowed from authentic precedents(典故) and transfigured intensively them, and stated disputation(議論) by expressing their emotion sincerely in order to highlight the subject of their poems. In the case of ancient poems, they embraced and varied the prose grammar, reduplication(重字) and circle phrase(連環句) which were used in the poems of Zhuzi, and then embodied their own individuality and subject consciousness. In particular, Jo Jong-jin's work has literary value and shows his excellent poetic talent; he tried to make circle phrase with two letters ‘山’ and ‘詩’ which were from important concepts that three of them shared beyond time and space: mountain climbing(山行) and versification(作詩). In conclusion, Lee Haeng and Jo Jong-jin not only accepted and varied the rhythm, formality and content of the poems by Zhuzi, but also internalized those things into their literary value deviating from simple imitation.
