ABSTRACT

Yukga style sijo(육가형 시조) began as "Jangyukdang Yukga(장육당육가)" by Lee Byeol(이별), and since then, his family consistently composed "Punggye Yukga(풍계육가)" by Lee Jeong(이정), "Seogye Yukga(서계육가)" and "Okhwa Yukga(옥화육가)" by Lee Deuk-yun(이득윤), and "Sanmin Yukga(산민육가)" by Lee Hong-yu(이홍유). The purpose of this study is to investigate this transmission of Yukga(육가) in Lee of Gyeongju Family. "Punggye Yukga(풍계육가)" is the first one worked in Lee of Gyeongju Family after "Jangyukdang Yukga(장육당육가)", a work thoroughly succeeding to "Jangyukdang Yukga(장육당육가)" in that it contributed to complete unity with nature with thorough forgetting of the reality. Although "Seogye Yukga(서계육가)" and "Okhwa Yukga(옥화육가)" have not been passed down as of present, their characteristics can be estimated to some degrees by relevant materials. The two works are separate two Yukga(육가) at an interval of ten years, and might deeply reflect desires for cloistered life from the world because they were written after moving to Seogye(서계) and Okhwa(옥화) due to the death of the mother and the inauguration of Gwanghaegun(광해군), respectively. "Sanmin Yukga(산민육가)" expressed some dissatisfaction toward the world along the Yukga(육가) tradition of Lee of Gyeongju Family but represented the author as a lonesome life abandoned from the world, indicating that the strong sense of identity in the previous Six-Stanza had been considerably weakened. Yukga style sijo(육가형 시조) written by the four generations of Lee of Gyeongju Family may be combined to the series of "Jangyukdang Yukga(장육당육가)", but it is important that they exist with their own historicity. "Punggye Yukga(풍계육가)" by Lee Jeong(이정) is a work that relatively thoroughly succeeded to "Jangyukdang Yukga(장육당육가)", but is partially overlapped with works of embodying lives of hermits. "Sanmin Yukga(산민육가)" by Lee Hong-yu(이홍유) partially shows the author's worry related to his adverse circumstances expressed in works of poor local nobleman in the 17th century. Such characteristics indicate that the Yukga(육가) of Lee of Gyeongju Family was written somewhat with the context of the general ambience of the poetry of the time.
