ABSTRACT

won Donin was a important political bureaucrat and he was a famous calligrapher and painter of the 19th century. Actually, Kwon Donin left lots of posthumous works such as "Sehando" and most of them have still remained in good conditions. But it is regretful that 27 volumes of Yijae Collection were destroyed. As a result we have not read his literary works. The volume "Eywancheuksa", which collects his 13 letters is so important that it deserves special emphasis on his noticeable writings. I illuminated 13 letters of "Eywancheuksa" in two respects. First, I illuminated a friendship between Kwon Donin and Kim Jeonghee through the letters. They had a closer friendship with each other in their lives. They showed their respect and sympathy to each other and shared the academic views by being interested in such contemporary and dominant art and scinece as Gojeung Scholarship (the study of ancient documents) and Geumseok Scholarship (epigraphy). Second, I illuminated an aspect of lyrical letters named Chuck-Dock. Kwon Donin sought for the emotional writing and vignette-style of writing in his letters.
