ABSTRACT

The aim of this manuscript is to study the aesthetic characteristic of the gentry ladies' chinese poems by making the style terminologies into a subject based on the discourse of the gentry ladies' chinese poems among the ladies' chinese poems of the previous Korean Collection of Shihwa. I chosed the gentry ladies' chinese poems which were issued on the discourse of Shihwa only and considered their aesthetic characteristics. Because the Shihaw critic's point of critique must have had an important effect on the base of creation and existence of the ladies' chinese poems, I looked into the whole aesthetic aspects which were pursued by the ladies chinese poems through the style terminologies used by lady poets of the gentry. In the previous Shihwa, the aesthetic characteristics of the gentry ladies' chinese poems are integrated into SEONGJEONGMI(the beauty of the nature), CHEONGSHINMI(the fresh and new beauty), HOGIMI(the beauty of the intrepid spirit), DONHWOOMI(the beauty of the humanity), JEOLMYOMI(the beauty of the exquisiteness). There is no discrimination on this aesthetic category compared with that of men's chinese poems. This is an instance that the gentry ladies' versification tendency and level was not so much different compared to the gentry men's versification tendency and level. There were quite a few female poets in Korean Shiwha. The classes of the female poets were various from a concubine,․a gisaeng,․a court lady, a crown princess to a nameless lady. I started to study on the Shihwa with the assumption that there must have been differences among their poems that had been embodied with literature considering the situation of that era when the way of life was very much different according to the social position, The first object is the lady poets of the gentry. Because the view point and technique about the ladies of the Shihwa is not right compared to that of the men, many ladies' literary works are circulated as the form of a short phrase or a junk phrase. However, it is fortunate for us to be able to find out the female poets' poetic superiority and parts of their poems on the collection of Shihwa. The literary ability and level of the gentry female poets that we can get from the collection of Shihwa is very high. It is a more precious work if we consider the bad educational environment for females on the old days. Main Subject words: shihwa (a talk on a poetry), a lady's chinese poem, a lady of the gentry, aesthetic characteristic.
