ABSTRACT

Jo Wihan is an author of the Choicheokjeon(崔陟傳), According to the history of this essay, This story was written in 1621. Literature is the expression of our lives and needs to show human's lives. At this point, I can make sure that Jo Wihan is an excellent author. He was enthusiastic about his life with literature. He was good at studying chinese poetry which he expressed his feeling through his life, novels and the words of a song(lyrics) mentioned in a terrible sight of people(nation), lots of poetries and books of travels written on his route, and so on. There are poetries written by Jo Wihan when he was childhood. “Youyeomaejaengchun(柳與梅爭春)" was written on a willow pushed out new shoots in spring and a poetry written on missing his family while he was out of home. There are also lots of poetries which expressed the feeling and knowledge during traveling outside such as Jangsung(長城). One of them, ”Chaguigeoraesa(次歸去來辭)" mentioned that he never came in mundane life again. He'd like to free himself from the mundane world, however;he couldn't stand it because he saw people's wretched life. So he described their life through “Youmintan(流民歎)". There is a book of travel, “Youdooryusanrok (遊頭流山錄)" written while he was taking a trip in Chiri mountain with an intimate friends. As well, when he was more than 40 years old, his son died. he wrote a funeral oration, “Jemangjauimoon(祭亡子倚文)" aching for his son. There are “Aegimjanggundeokryeong(哀金將軍德齡)" cherishing the memory of a deceased guard of honor and “Mansa(輓詞)” grieving for his dead friends and friends' wives. Except those poetries, there remains many kinds of poetries which he've written since he was childhood. Jo Wihan consecrated his life to literature activities. He left many literary works related to his whole life without living free from worldly cares. His literary works are related to reality. He expressed his whole life through literature. Those kinds of works not only indicated author's mind and writing manner but also had a multiplicity of subject matters. He wasn't out of the literature. For him, it means that literature was hobby, education as well as a part of his lives.
