ABSTRACT

Youngjae You Deuk-gong was a poet leading new poetic style in 18C. His early poems in Hangaekgunyounjib were famous not only in Chosun also in Ching. Searching his early poems means approaching poetic world of an individual and understanding an aspect of new poetic style in 18C. Youngjae's early poems mainly contained sorrow and lamentation. However these poems weren't buried in sorrow and lamentation, they showed pointing of ingenuous life similar to poetic style of Dojam or Weeungmul. Also Youngjae's unique poetic style indicated not mountains, waters and farms in ideas but realistic style that he described figures of farm in concrete life. We can confirm Youngjae's concern about history because he wrote a lot of poems for retrospection and history in remains. Although these poems assumed a sorrow mood, they contained considerable information of geography and history of Chosun. In poems for retrospection and history, he was interested in lives of the present and he wrote poems animated realism and the feeling of movement. It is result of awareness that this time become a page of history. Formally his poems outstand for pursuing Tang's style. He used Dubo's writing style that a style of Chinese verse came to head in form with pursuing musicality using a particle in classical Chinese and repetition of word, amplification of reverberation through poetic diction disposition, using the canon of composition and antitheses, serving the “Four Tones” of classical Chinese and so on. Of course he had an unique style indicating affectionate remembrances about things and his mind indirectly. Works with characteristic poetic style from novel ideas excelled in putting up ancient history. However he didn't arrange only ancient history. Through this he said his thought in a roundabout way or mixed up reconditely. Besides in process of poetical imagination, connecting novel ideas witty and naturally can be praised. He created a lot of works which surpassed for novel ideas and wit. He quoted just a little part of ancient history and authentic precedents and twisted them for opposite meaning.
