ABSTRACT

Heegyongru(喜慶樓) is a pavilion which was erected in 1451, that used to be located where the present Gwangju Post Office is, on Chuungjangro 2-ga, Donggu, Gwangju. It was there until 1914 and represented the Honam area. Through 19 pieces of poetry on Heegyongru, bibliographically examined in this study, the following was discovered: First, 8 pieces of poetry depicted the influence of the king(王化) and were recited by Lee Seok-hyung(李石亨), Sung Im(成任), Heo Jong(許琮), Yu Soon(柳洵), Kim Jong-jik(金宗直), So Se-yang(蘇世讓), and Song In-soo(宋麟壽) as envoys from the Ming Dynasty. Second, there were five poems that spoke about patriotism for the country and family written by Song Sun(宋純), Im Eok-ryeong(林億齡), and Im Je(林悌). Six pieces of poetry spoke about friendship and exchanges were recited by Jeong Cheol(鄭澈), Baek Gwang-hoon(白光勳), Shin Eung-si(辛應時), Lee Soon-in(李純仁), Gwon Byeok(權擘) and Kim Sang-yong(金尙容) including poetry by Jo Paeng-nyeon(趙彭年) speaking about unwillingness to separate. Third, the period when the seven pieces of poetry on Heegyongru were written ranged from 1451 (the 1st year of King Munjong) to 1487(the 18th year of King Sungjong) and 15 pieces of poetry were written over 74 years from 1530 (the 25th year of King Joongjong) to 1604(the 37th year of King Sunjo). In that most of the reciters of poetry on exchanges had the experience of reciting with envoys from the Ming Dynasty and the period when the poetry was written matches the period when literary envoys from the Ming Dynasty came to Korea, it is suggested that there is a correlation between them, but that is another challenge to be identified in future studies.
