ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to examine an aspect of sadaebu(士大夫)'s poetry in the early 19th century focused on Kim Yi-ik's exile gasa <Keumgangchongyongdoga(金剛中庸圖歌)>. This text was written in the place of exile but this text has never been studied as a exile gasa in detail. Because researchers have misunderstood this text for a song of Chongyong(中庸). The characteristics of <Keumgangchongyongdoga> is as follows. The first, we can find the expression of self-thoughts in this text. The father of Kim Yi-ik was dead in his youth, he regarded the king as his father. He also believed that the king regarded him as a son. We can understand his life through this text. The second, we can find the sense of loyalty for the king. He had a special love for the king, he expressed unchanging mind in this text. We can also find the emotion of exiled person. The third, Kim Yi-ik read the two books Chongyong and Chuyeuk(周易), and he devoted his energies to writing. He studied and copied Chongyong, he was seem to recall the king. <Keumgangchongyongdoga> is under the category of exile gasa, but it has some unique characteristics. This text resembles <Maneonsa> in terms of the expression of self-thoughts. But we can find the expressions of family in <Maneonsa>, we cannot find in <Keumgangchongyongdoga>. Kim Yi-ik was seem to strengthen his public persona by exposing himself through this text. This text shows an aspect of sadaebu's poetry in early 19th century well.
