AB - In the 16th century, there were many literary activities and achievements. Nevertheless, literary activity by female poets was poor as poetry was a holy space where women were not allowed. In spite of this background, Song Duk-Bong(1521〜1578) and Huh Nanseolhun(1563〜1589) wrote Chinese poetry under these environmental difficulties as wives of high officials. They were engaged in characteristic literary activities produce collections of literary works while living in the same age, but their poetic thinking and expressive methods were different. Both were born in elite families, were well-educated, and strongly attached to literary activities as well as having confidence in their abilities. However, they were different with regard to acceptance and rejection based on Confucian ethics.
Song Duk-Bong took care of her family alone because her husband was exiled and she practiced Confucian ethics in her life. Therefore, under the trust and support of her husband, she was very active in her life and her way of life was positively revealed through her poetic expression, also she did not write poetry with themes based on Gyuwon.
Although Huh Nanseolhun was born with a talent for poetic writing and well-educated in literature, she did not adapt herself to her environment which emphasized Confucian womanly virtues. Her world where she could not exercise her outstanding literary talent was closed as it considered human nature important. It was expressed in her Chinese poetry under the theme of Gyuwon of Chinese poetry using diverse materials.
Also, the two women differed in the poetic material they used. Song Duk-Bong and Huh Nanseolhun chose different subjects and expressive methods in writing poetry. The latter used interest in neighbors and society as well as family affairs and individuals as poetic materials while the former used only her family as a subject for poetry.
Therefore, this study has meaning in that it reconsidered the prejudiced perspective that female poets in the Joseon Period sang of the absence of their husbands.
