조선시대의 논서시 고찰

Seyeo is a specific sphere of the art that represents internal temper of individuals using characters as its medium. Nonseosi refers to a discourse about the Seoye by citing a formation or a pattern of poem in order to convey the intention of an author. This includes not only the name, original source and duty of Seoye but it also contains calligraphers , the works and history of Seoye. Since those elements are phrased through a poem in the form of verse, Nonseosi typically contains the euphemistic implications that are more weighted to the symbolic, abstract and metaphoric natures compared to the Seoye theory with prose style. Nonseosi of Korea stems from Choi Chi-won of Shilla dynasty, afterwards, the literary persons of the Goryeo era have phrased the contents associated with Seoye from Korea and China into poetry. With regard to an outlook of Seoye in the Joseon dynasty, after the Songseol [松雪] style was first introduced through the Mangwondang [a sort of reading space] at the end of the Goryeo dynasty, Lee Yong the great master of the Songseol style, was active in the early years of the Joseon dynasty, afterwards, it was handed down to the Insu style by Kim Gu [金絿] and the Chungsong [聽松] style by Sung Su-chim [成守琛] in the mid of the Joseon dynasty, and was finally integrated into the Sukbong [石峰] style by Han Ho [韓濩], when it was completed. Lee Yong [李瑢], who is a representative in Nonseosi of the Joseon dynasty, demonstrated an excellent quality in his writing style such as chirography, figure, frame and spirit of characters. However, when the Songseol [松雪] style revealed some negative patterns at the end of its trend, many Confucian scholars expressed their worries through Nonseosi and showed a tendency of pursuing the fundamental spirits of Seoye. In the mid of the Joseon dynasty, some Nonseosi, which urged to escape from the Songseol style and pursued the Wang Xizhi style, appeared to against Han Ho, who was representing a sense of beauty of the Joseon in terms of style and had a sense of self-reliance. In late Joseon, Lee Gwang-sa sought a way that can naturalize Seoye of Joseon through Nonseosi on the basis of putting the Wang Xizhi style as a standard sample. In addition, he sublimated the Bukhak [the Thoughts for learning Qing Culture] into the study and art based on the study of ancient documents of the empirical pursuit of truth rather than the insubstantial neo-Confucianism of Kim Jeong-hee who represents the end of the Joseon dynasty. The characteristics of Nonseosi in the Joseon dynasty are summarized into three categories, diversity in topics of Seoye, new understanding of Seoye and the metaphoric, symbolic and abstract property of Seoye. Nonseosi, a verse that discoursed on Seoye, is slightly insufficient compared to the characters discourse, which was written by formal epic poetry, from the perspective that it conveys an implication with preparing a logical system. However, it seems to be more appropriate to the Seoye of literary person, which is the best and representational. If more attentions are paid to Nonseosi with extension of study, it will not only contribute to advancement of the Seoye of literary person but also significantly help new Seoye creation to be a reliable milestone for the Seoye.
