ABSTRACT

This manuscript investigated the base and direction of the poetical variations in the Late Joseon Dynasty. Baegak poetical circles criticized the previous writers who thought poem as showing off or liberal arts. The key point of criticism was that previous writers emphasized on rhetorical expressions by copying the classics. So, Baegak poetical circles builded their poetics that poem was the result of author’s sincere heart by communication with poetical object. They emphasized on author’s thought and self-complacent. And from this position, they modified the theory of secrets of nature[天機] that was based on teachings of Chu-tzu. Baegak poetical circles’ truthful poem[眞詩] differed from Gongan poetical circles[公安派] in the late Ming dynasty. Gongan poetical circles accepted instinctive desire in their work, but Baegak poetical circles thought that the poem was the expression of the cultivated stage. This difference came from two group’s ideas that Baegak poetical circles based on the teachings of Chu-tzu, Gongan poetical circles based on the teachings of left wing of yang ming school.
