ABSTRACT

Paek Gwang-hun(1537-1582) calmly expressed his original emotion in short wordings of poetry through an aesthetic porch according to rhymes. He converged images of feeling with scenery to achieve his poetic intention. This study intended to analyse rhetorical types he used in his poetry that have never been examined in existing studies. Paek Gwang-hun used materials for poetry properly according to situations and conditions to express quatrain more beautifully and naturally. In addition, as he pursued for eternal images through implication, he made the images interpreted symbolically and have deep aftereffects. He used words of setting sun, an angle, a bay and sunset in his poetry to imply “setting sun” image of transiency, calmness of hills, rivers, fields, sorrow and endless missing. He arranged words of ‘setting sun’ and ‘sunset’ without spill in the structure of four words and three words, a fundamental wording type of a quatrain with seven words to a line and used the ‘setting sun’ image that connected two letters as the head with three letters as the tail to accomplish poetic aesthetics.
