ABSTRACT

This study comprehends the meaning of Book of Songs and Invitatory accommodated in the Chinese poems of Songgang, Jeong Cheol and examines the view of nature of Confucian scholar represented in his Chinese poems. As a result, I could understand that he quoted Chinese history and tales and contents of the Confucian classics and renewed literary works of Chinese writers in order to enrich the contents of his literary works. However, some of his works were accused of imitation. The distinction between the quotation and renewal made in this study will serve as a momentum to fix the error of the existing studies which confused the quotation with renewal. The view of nature of Confucian scholar does not only see the characteristics of natural materials in the Western point of view but also reargues it in the Confucian scholar's point of view. The view of nature of Confucian scholar is related with the political view of taking up public office, human life such as taking the way of moral laws, and connecting the beauty of landscape of nature with the reality. The view of nature of Confucian scholar reflected on the Chinese poems of Songgang contained the yearning for his king of lord, patriotism, and loyalty. He showed the feature of patriotism and loyalty by entering government service in the national crisis, but in the meantime, he showed wrong faction with excessive yearning for his king of lord. Therefore, it would be necessary to reveal that if the literature of Songgang expostulated the faults of the king according to thorough literary view of Confucian scholar, had an affection for benevolent persons and embraced the public, or hid the others' weakness and revealed their virtue to the world in the viewpoint of classical scholar's mind.
