Study on the Poets Inserted in <Chuiyu-boobeokjeong-ki>(취유부벽정기)

Abstract

Miss Ki, the heroine of <Chuiyu-boobeokjeong-ki>(취유부벽정기) is the image on which Hong-saeng`s mind is projected. And the mind of Hong-saeng(홍생) is the allegory of Kim, si-seop`s(김시습) mind to king Dan-jong. So I think the mind of Ki who thinks patriotism is more important than her life is the allegory of Kim si-seop`s patriotic sentiment to king Dan-jong. And I think the sorrow of Hong-saeng for the ruins of Ko-choseon(고조선) means sorrow of Kim, si-seop`s(김시습) for the death of Dan-jong`s. They felt sorrowful because values that they considered as absolute ones were damaged. However, everything in the world are fatally changed. Although people think the most important thing they think now is never changed, after long time they cannot but see all is changed. At last people realize the thing seemed most important will disappear in vain. So the writer of <Chuiyu-boobeokjeong-ki>(취유부벽정기) made a image of Miss Ki who is a nymph of moon and was the princess of Ko-choseon to awaken Hong-saeng. He intended to change hong-saeng`s mind to king Dan-jong with the change of Miss Ki`s mind to her father. But the writer knew the fact that though Hong-saeng changed his mind, he could not become happy. So he wanted to transcend the real world, but he can't. After all he expressed his wants in fantastic lunar world.
