ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to consider Confucian orient, through the examination An Chang-Hoo(安昌後)’s life and his literary works, Sijo(時調) during his life as a moralist. This study also establishes the literary status of Sijo(時調) in the literary history of the 18th century. An Chang-Hoo(安昌後) devoted himself to exploring the tenets of Confucian ethics, in focusing on Confucian cannons. Especially, he paid a constant effort to foster a mentality in self-cultivation. He thought that his ministry as a Sajok(士族) is dedicated to the study, so he made exertions to have grounding in Confucian. And he made an effort to develope human nature and to preserve a pure heart. His moral philosophical living and academic orientation had an effect on creating his literary works, such as chinese prose, chinese poetry and Sijo(時調). He created variety of literary works which including the practical problems that foster a mentality and understanding of human nature in selfcultivational view. And he enjoyed his literary works with relatives and friends in Hansundang(閒說堂). In Sijo(時調), he expressed the human duty and reason of life in practical ethics, through Confucian cannons such as Mengzi(孟子) Lunyu(論語) and the teaching of the sages, such as Hanyu(韓愈) and Jungyi(程頤). In particular, he put more emphasis on encouragement of human nature and conduct of life, teaching attitudes of scholars, and stress of ethics of Hyo(孝). These is aimed at cultivation of morality, performing duties as a scholar, and establishment of family rituals. Also, in expression, he chose the ways of teaching the tenets of Confucian ethics to put into action rather than literary configuration These means that HyangchonSajok(鄕村士族) educated the ethics through form of Sijo(時調) in order to secure their position within the country in the changes of the 17th-18th centuries, and emphasized on the Confucian ethical practice to cultivate the qualities as a Sajok(士族). Above all, it is important that An Chang-Hoo(安昌後) intended to overcome this crisis by offering an ethical solution through Sijo(時調), after he consulted the families of the crisis, based on the awareness of contemporary society. And another important point is that his Confucian orientation differ from other author, for example Hwang Yoon-Suk(黃胤錫), even though it is similar that both tried to teach ethics through Sijo(時調).
