ABSTRACT

Choi Seung-Tae(崔承太) is a plebeian poet in the middle and late 17th century. His father is Choi Gi-Nam(崔奇男) who was the leading figure of the plebeian literature. Hong Se-Tae(洪世泰) is a figure having very close relationship with Choi Seung-Tae(崔承太) and arranged the works written in his posthumous work and wrote the preface for his collection of works. The plebeian writers who engaged in the activities around Samcheong-dong(三淸洞), Seoul at that time, were depressed by the conflict and the agony due to restriction by social standing rather confirm their homogeneity acting pompously and enjoying the arts through the active literary creation activity and the exchange. However, when they were alone separated each other, they could not but realize the restriction by social standing and the impoverishment more deeply by that. Stayed in Gongju, Choi Seung-Tae(崔承太) expressed his discontent and thought derived from the reality that did not recognize his talent and the hard life in various poems to his friends and family in Hanyang. In addition, he emphasized the agony of not being used properly using actively the images such as 'Useless sword', 'Sword rusted with green rust', 'Wandering sword', etc. in his poems. However, the friends and family in Hanyang were the grateful beings who raises his collapsed self-regard again. In the meantime, Choi Seung-Tae(崔承太) could maintain the peace of mind traveling around scenic spots in Gongju. Among them traveling Gyeryongsan restored the magnanimous spirit that he thought that he had lost it. Choi Seung-Tae(崔承太) express the magnanimous spirit felt in Gyeryongsan in poem briskly utilizing the poetical style of Li Bo(李白) and the form of long poem. In other words, Gyeryongsan worked as poetic medium to imitate and release the poetic style of Li Bo(李白) and was a grateful and precious being that made him to express his magnanimous spirit fully, which he could not make it happen in reality.
