ABSTRACT

The researcher has meanwhile strived to apprehend types of Poyi acception and historical contexts of Poyi discourse in Chosun period. This paper is laid on extension of this research. Especially this paper takes note on Kim Siseup’s Praise for Poyi and Sukjai(伯夷叔齊贊) and Hiding Noblemen Theory(君子隱現論) opening the first step of Poyi discourse in Chosun period. These two works concretely showed not only aspects of early Poyi discourse but also internal base of Kim Siseup’s life filling of hiding. So this paper newly constructs truth of Poyi understanding projected in two works in the level of loyalty and reclusion. And I read intention of Kim Siseup’s writing connected with politic․social context in those time which was destroying of politics of royal statesmanship as Kaeyu suppression(癸酉靖亂), and evaluate value of works. Finally, I am finished a certain course with defining meaning and inspecting position of two works in the field of Poyi discourse during Chosun period. As a result, Kim Siseup’s Praise for Poyi and Sukjai(伯夷叔齊贊) and Hiding Noblemen Theory(君子隱現論) were representative works projected Kim Siseup’s view of loyalty and reclusion realizing life of Poyi. Especially Praise for Poyi and Sukjai(伯夷叔齊贊) the praise genre adding debate was a controversial work criticizing King Sejo and meritorious retainers of suppression with comparing King Mu and Taegong. These had a lot of suggesting things in politic․social context in those time. Also in the field of Poyi discourse, Praise for Poyi and Sukjai(伯夷叔齊贊) was the first and the last works that criticized King Mu and Taegong in Poyi’s the view of loyalty. This fact have another meaning. However Poyi discourse had a limit that did not become concretization and sharpening with absenting analytic․critic approach. This is an early limit in Poyi discourse. Of course, Kim Siseup’s Poyi theory and view of reclusion did not cancel out meaning, because these consistently influenced to intellectuals of Seoin group engaging with working Poyang after the mid of 17C beyond those time.
