AB - Ssangbaekdang Lee Se-hwa(1630-1701) was a man who had high reputation during his life time with the acknowledgement of his integrity and loyalty by his strong opposition of dethroning of Queen Inhyeon in the year of Gisa (1689). This article has the subject of poetry with the alcohol showing in the poems of Lee Se-hwa to contemplate what role would the alcohol in the ordinary life style. There is a substantial portion, over 2/5 of entire poems, emerging with the alcohol in the literature collection of Lee Se-hwa, Ssangbaekdang-jib. However, the alcohols emerging in his poems displayed different trend from the contents handled in the alcohol related previous studies. The alcohol related previous studies have focused on obtaining the virtue and praise of most alcohols, ill-effect and borderline of alcohol, Chwiheung (fun and excitement from alcohol intoxication) and poetic adventure, means for forgetting worries and concerns, and things obtaining after intoxicated to the alcohol or efficacy from alcohol, such as, fresh new world, striving for ideal scheme and it is granted with literature implications. However, in the poems of Lee Se-hwa, such efficacy of the alcohol is almost not displayed and the alcohol is mostly the case of facilitating the ordinary life style of Lee Se-hwa as the material to display the same.
When taking a look with the focus on poems written after the year of Gisa, there are three ordinary styles of the alcohol contained in the poems of Lee Se-hwa as this writer finds out. First, the tranquility that Lee Se-hwa felt while engaging in returning from government or civil service to the life in farming was displayed in embodiment through alcohol. Second, the longing and waiting for friend was demonstrated with expression of alcohol. And, third, the alcohol might enhance the mindset to long for the king and mindset to appreciate the grace and blessing of the king. As such, within the poems of Lee Se-hwa, the alcohol was facilitated as the matter that contains his life style without being a superficial mean in a plane way. This may be attributable to the fact that is closely related to the personality of Lee Se-hwa who had significant simplicity with less of pretensions in terms and his attitude in frugal and dignified life style.
The 18th century has been appraised as the period when the search for the ordinary literature value was more broadly attempted. The ordinary style of the alcohol contained in the poems of Lee Se-hwa is considered as having the poetry tendency of the period from the end of 17th century to turn into the 18th century.
