ABSTRACT

This study defines six pieces of historical poetry by Yu Hui-choon as historical and explained the reason why it is historical, how it was developed and what he pursued for through his historical poetry. Yu Hui-choon's poetry to study here includes 「Dokhantoijisamsangseosi」, 「Gwajageum」, 「Domyeongbi」, 「Jangsunghoigo」, 「Songsahohwansangsan」, and 「Hanmangjabangbun」. They were categorized into historical facts and theories and he organized his ideas to think historic persons and events based on historical facts although there was a difference in quantity. He developed historical theories poetically. As a result, in 「Dokhantoijisamsangseosi」, he reflected Hanyu's attitude to life and revealed agony about a true governor. In 「Gwajageum」, he dealt with behaviors of officials and emphasized that history should be written based on Chunchoobeop. In 「Domyeongbi」, he focused on ‘virtue' through a historical poetry on Wangsogun and in 「Jangsunghoigo」, he suggested that to maintain a nation properly, people should cooperate rather than they are conscripted for building the Great Wall. In 「Song- sahohwansangsan」, he pointed out legitimacy considering Saho(the four scholars) as positive, and in 「Hanmangjabangbun」, he intended to reveal fidelity through Jangjabang and suggested what attitude a ruler should have. This study organized his pursuit through historical theories of six historical poems concluding that it is related with moralism of Confucianism, and suggested that such pursuit is based on his academic background and can be connected to reality.
