ABSTRACT

A study on the realistic tendency ofHaegeum O-Dalun's Chinese poetry Haegeum O-Dalun experienced the country life in Haenam and NaJu for about 40 years, which made both his individual literary theory and reformatory thought. Haegeum's literary theory is throughly expressed in his realistic poems. First of all, I could realize that even though Haegeum had strived to maintain self-respect as a country scholar, he should feel a sense of alienation as getting his life worse due to exhausting living through ꡔHaegeumjip』(海錦集), included 210 Chinese poems. Furthermore, Haegeum illustrated the scenery of nature realistically in his poems. Haegeum regarded nature as not ideal place but that for daily life without any manipulation. This objective and cold-headed observation had an effect on his recognition that nature would be the actual spot of production. Last, Haegeum wrote specific poems with ordinary experience. In other words, Haegeum not only treated particular scenes instead of ideal and abstract statement, but also expressed different sides from poems of common noble men in the 16th century owing to his folk material of poems. To sum up, I could estimate that country scholars lived in Honam would have been active enough to contain contemporary social atmosphere as well as would have independently developed realistic academic tradition in the late Chosun by studying characteristics of Haegeum poetry.
