영문 초록

  Sadan (four virtues) are four kinds of feelings-such as compassion, shame and dislike for evil, modesty and deference, sense of approval and disapproval of right and wrong-which were classified by Mencius. They are the beginning of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and feelings expressing human nature. Sadan-benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom-were identified as i (principle), absolute good, and chiljeong-joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and lust- was viewed as gi (material force) with mobile disposition of evil. Therefore, i has been regarded as noble thing while gi viewed as ignoble one. Depending on whether i has working ability, Toegye Lee Hwang claimed i-gi-ho-bal theory (the release of both i and gi) while Yi I argued gibal-iseung-ildo theory (the release of gi and the ride of i). If gi is thought to have working ability as defined by Lee Hwang, i becomes the absolute good. However, Yi I‘s gibal-iseung-ildo theory maintains that though i is a univeral principle governing the movement of all creation, it does not work for itself but regulates and controls gi preventing it from leaning toward evil by riding on gi only when gi releases.
  This study pays more attention to Yi I‘s gibal-iseung-ildo theory than Lee Hwang‘s i-gi-ho-bal theory. The latter recognizes the working ability of i and it can be justified in terms of securing human morality. However, the former is more appropriate given that the ugliness of the human world provides the themes and subject matters of literature. This is why this study focuses on Yi I‘s gibal-iseung-ildo theory.
  The characteristic of Jeong Ji Yong‘s poems is he was very cautious of indiscreet release of emotions and extremely spared words. Such philosophy of poetry can be seen in his poetics. Therefore, this paper reviews literary expressions of chiljeong in his poems, based on his poetics, focusing on Yi I‘s gibal-iseung-ildo theory.
  1. In "The release of compassion: in (benevolence)," this study examines the pains of one‘s child and an ache of despair from death expressed in his poems. The speaker gives flexibility to poems through intelligent, almost cold-hearted, moderation. This can not be reached without regulation of gi by i.
  2. ‘In "The release of shame and dislike for evil: ui (righteousness),"’this study looks into "nature poems", where the author reported the limping reality only through literary methods by relying on the nature under realities not allowing direct resistance. While observing the nature, the speaker never emit his real gi but only captures the truth of the moment like a flash by closely looking at the nature. This is the emotion that can be maintained because the speaker secures an objective distance of i stoically regulating the released gi.
  3. In "The release of modesty and deference: ye (propriety),’this study gives attention to poems for children. Poems for children are pure mind it self, can not be made without modesty and humility and comes from minds lowering oneself. In addition, there are some cases when they are written to back to basics shaking off fine dust of realities. What is distinct is that, unlike other poems, intervention of i is minimized and dynamics of gi is kept alive which is physiologically emitted.
  4. In "The release of sense of approval and disapproval of right and wrong: ji (wisdom),’poems about mountains are reviewed. One of subject characteristics of Jeong Ji Yong‘s poems is that, in his early poems, he used many images of the "sea" while those of "mountains" in his later poems. This study centers on the images of mountains. When the discrimination of right and wrong is not functioning because of the logic in real life, one way the speaker can take is to obtain wisdom of human nature by securing objectiveness through entrusting his or her body to the nature.
