ABSTRACT

This paper covers flow, trait, and meaning of Chinese poetry carried by mass media in Japanese Ruling Era. Chinese poetry in this time was written by many authors who were aware of the Japanese Empire. As a result, pro-Japanese group’s activity was outstanding. Chinese poetry became recreational, and the poetry treating object was composed a lot. The poetry in this time is evaluated negatively. On the other hand, different type of poetry was still written. There were some poets who were aware our people’s circumstances well. They comforted the public, satirized on society, and were enthusiastic about Son Ki-jung’s victory. Also, they expressed their longing for the independence very secretly by quoting expressions from famous poems. This is the real value of Chinese poetry in that time. Although intellectuals don’t do writing by Chinese character any more, Chinese poetry is still contributing importantly for the ethnic heritage because the poetic feeling is expressed by Chinese poetry better than modern style. Therefore Chinese poetry is not the thing to be discarded, but a part of the ethnic literature.
