Chimgweng's chinese poem is buddhist literature and has buddhistic color, but it is beautiful as a lyric poem. The moon appears forty-seven times in his poems.

This study aims to make a study of the image of the moon, appeared in the his poems. Chimgweng train himself Zen. Therefore he stayed at a small room in temple or a valley alone. There was no person around him. He has no teather. He has no friend. He felt lonely and sad. Sometimes he met his friends, but had to go back to the temple soon. Separation from his friends made him sad. Or he was loath to part greatly grieved over the death of his friends. At the moment the moon consoled him. Chimgweng wrote a poem about this moon. In conclusion, the moon which appears in Chimgweng's chinese poems has a image of a teather, or a companion, or a friend.
