AB - This paper examines the stylistic and critical characteristics of Wolju Suchangrok, a collaborative work created by three of Shin Gwang-su’s five sons: Shin Woo-sang, Shin Yi-sang (Shin Gi-sang), and Shin Wi-sang. Wolju Suchangrok refers to a collection of Chinese poetry written in 1772 by the three sons who accompanied their father, Shin Gwang-su, during his appointment as the governor of Yeongwol. Currently, some of these works are included in the literary collections of Shin Woo-sang and Shin Yi-sang, while additional content exists in the form of a scroll preserved by the descendants of the Seokbuk family.
This study compares the three documents to analyze the current state of the works and explores the critical characteristics of the family-preserved manuscript. The three brothers focused on literary representations of the tragic history and sorrow of King Danjong, who was exiled to Yeongwol. They effectively utilized the natural scenery of Yeongwol and the imagery of the cuckoo bird in their works. The critic of the family-preserved manuscript highly praised the brothers for expressing their thematic consciousness in a concise and subtle manner through natural imagery in seven-character quatrains. The critic also commended their avoidance of overt emotional exposure and narrative-style diction.
These observations reflect the writers’ and critic’s aspirations toward the Tang-style poetic tradition. Furthermore, their emphasis on the Shijing (Book of Songs)’s Guofeng spirit and their focus on literary achievements rooted in nature align closely with the poetic consciousness shared among the Geungi Namin. This suggests that the critic likely shared the poetic ethos of the Geungi Namin and that the three brothers were nurtured within this literary tradition.
