In a study on Do-Eun s poetic literature, the interest of study has been mainly concentrated concerning around the study on Three Euns and an essay on writers. Then the aim of this study lies in illuminating his literary life through the analysis off Do-Eun s Chinese verses and in fixing his position among men of letters in the literary world at the end of Goryeo dynasty. To Do-Eun s Chinese verses, 7-syllable lines in a Chinese quatrain, and 5-syllable lines in a style of Chinese verse and free verse were often applied in particular. Free-versifying manner out ofform and structure is rather shown and many poems for a fourth of his whole verses are characterized by his use of ancient facts with pleasure. Do-Eun s patriotism is consistent with his firm principles and he is laying an information against social miserable conditions of those days by uttering poems which show his concern about the affairs of state and love of the people, bringing a strong spirit of the people of Goryeo like an expanse of the ocean to Chinese notice. The pain over vanity in life manifested in his Chinese verses forms his view of life with sorrow for the reality. Making an idol of Do Yeon-Myung, he was attached to autumn and chrysanthemums first of all and said that poems are produced in the absence of the wordly desires, opening the poetic world in accordance with nature passing as a state of an unworldly man. His view of literature is that of accord with morality that morality must be held in literature and that literature must show the function of social enlightenment that it purifies one s character through the cultivation of moral nature. Do-Eun fixated metaphysics in a Buddhist climate deep-rooted in the whole Goryeo society. Then his poetic literature has great sinificance in that it has the origin in the loyal spirit, and he pursued morality to manage the public and relieve the people by teaching metaphysics to his juniors.
