ABSTRACT

This paper aims to study the patterns of the characteristic materials recorded on 5,563 sijo included in Unabridged Dictionary of Gosijo. There are 493 figures who are used as a material in the works that have been recorded in Unabridged Dictionary of Gosijo. The frequency of appearance is following the descending order. Emperor Sun appeared 98 times, followed by Emperor Yao (72 times), Li Bai (72 times), Confucius (64 times) and Xiang Yu (49 times). In this paper, I comprehensively presented the various implemented images by the characters and analyzed the frequency of appearance in collections of poems. Focusing on the most frequently appeared sijo among the works, I examined the aspects of realization of the representative characters. As a result, Emperor Sun was imagined as a symbol of great filial piety and a person who had realized the reign of peace. Emperor Yao also was imagined as a person who had realized the reign of peace. Li Bai was complexly imagined as a great writer, a person who has reminded readers of drinking wine and the moon and a Taoist hermit. Confucius was imagined as a typical Confucian model who revealed Confucian morality. Xiang Yu was imagined as a hero of great strength and a person who shed tears for the farewell to his wife: the Beauty Yu (虞美人). I considered not only the frequency of appearance in a unit of the individual work but considered the frequency of appearance in the collections of poems. So it is possible to determine the degree of enjoying the characteristic materials more precisely. A discussion as above has the significance as a groundwork to reveal aesthetic characters.
