ABSTRACT

Chinese poetry covering Mt. Mudeung in Honam from the 16th century expressed liberal and lyrical sensitivity and aestheticism and elegant taste in life beyond secular values. This study shows that poets writing on this topic had elegant taste in their own aestheticism and enjoyed natural scenery themselves, rather than seeking healing for frustration or sympathy, in regarding natural scenery although the they had limits in their status after they left their political positions. Such aestheticism was derived from a complete fusion and harmony in sentiment with the images. The Chinese poets of the Honam area in the middle 16th century configured the natural scenery viewed at the skirts of Mt. Mudeung lyrically. Their poetic ego was revealed through empathy and association with the natural scenery. There were also a number of poems singing about imagination and refinement. The poets represented the magnificence and extraordinariness of Ipseokdae, one of the peaks of Mt. Mudeung. They became unworldly recluses in the magnificent peaks and represented them with liberal taste and refinement combined with liberal imagination without being restricted to vulgar customs or shackles. Therefore, this study looked at Chinese poetry that covered Mt. Mudeung written in the 16th century and Chinese poetry viewed through the viewpoint of a poet following his father as a Hwasun governor from another area in the 18th century. By analysing Chinese poetry dealing with Mt. Mudeung written by a few Honam poets, and in particular the poet named Jeong Yak Yong from another area, in the 18th century, this study was to understand the awareness and aesthetic expression of the poets of the Joseon period. The poetry of Mt. Mudeung by Jeong Yak Yong of the 18th century described real and objective lyricism and picturesque images of natural scenery, which reflected the poetry trends of the 18th century. Therefore, it is expected that the aesthetic characteristics of the poetry can be understood through the viewpoints and expressions of the poets revealed in the Chinese poetry of Mt. Mudeung.
