AB - Fishermen in literary works are ideological beings, regardless of the East and the West. The primary meaning of fisherman is a man who catches fishes, and the new meaning or concept which may be a man to save the people suffered in the bitter human world was originated from it. At the same time, it was extended to the meaning of 'a man who gets along like a Taoist hermit with supernatural power' or 'a wise man who rose above worldly logic'.
Most of fishermen in Korean classical poems are personae made by noble and illustrious officials to disclose their real lives or directing point of life. They concerned about worldly affairs, in spite of wishing to retire among rivers and lakes. So, thematic consciousness of literary works is realized through a structure of one-to-one correspondence between host and guest. For that reason, most of fishermen in the classical poetry are ideological beings i.d. spurious fishermen.
Because the spot of fishermen's lives was sea remote from land, and epic field frequently changing between living and dying, poets and painters described fishermen better than farmers. We can see the changing figure of fisherman's image following times and fashion, however, its substantial side remains unchangeable. Like this, so long as the connotation of the work catching fishes is various, fisherman who rouse up people's sympathy continuously is the right being that is unchangeable, however changeable the world may be.
