Aesthetic Consciousness of Ganghohanjeong in Chinese Poetry by Pulwooheon Jeong Geukin

This study identified aesthetic consciousness of taking leisurely pleasure presented in Ganghosi(poetry on rivers and lakes) by Jeong Geukin, and its meaning and presented his limitations. When Jeong Geukin aged 37 was engaged in studying in Seonggyungwan, he presented an appeal against Buddhism to the king and was exiled in Taein, Jeonbuk. His first life at the rivers and lakes began there. At that time, he was not satisfied with the reality with ulterior motive, which was shown in his poetry just as it was. Although he stayed there, he kept having an intention to enter on an official career and could not be close to the nature. So, it was suggested that his first life in the country was not to take leisurely pleasure. He retired from the government service when he was 70. The second living in the country began at that time. He emphasized he took leisurely pleasure and had no worry in his poetry. The first living in the country was intended by a ulterior motive, but as the second living in the country was intended by himself, his consciousness of the nature changed. However, it seemed that he enjoyed leisurely life in nature, but it was not real. It is noteworthy that he was socially-oriented until he died. So, poetry he wrote in his second living in the country revealed the beauty of leisurely pleasure to go with nature, but he kept being socially-oriented. Ganghosi by Jeong Geukin has a meaning in that it can be connected with the poetry on mountains and waters by literary scholars in the 16th century. However, he was limited to taking leisurely pleasure rather than singing and enjoying the life in the nature literary persons of the 16th century pursued for, and he could not reach the step to internalize Confucianism.
