Chŏng Kǔk‐in (English spelling)

Japanese: 丁克仁 - ていこくじん（英語表記）Chŏng Kǔk‐in

1401‐81
A Korean literary figure in the early Joseon Dynasty. His pen name was Gadak and his pen name was Buhuen. He was from Yeonggwang in Jeolla Province. He passed the civil service examination at the age of 29 and became a student, and at the age of 53 he passed the literary examination and became an official, but when Danjong was deprived of the throne he retired to his hometown and spent his life training the next generation of poets. He wrote the two-volume Buhuen Collection, as well as Praying for Spring Song, Praying for Spring Song, and Praying for Spring Song. Praying for Spring Song is considered the first lyric composition. At first glance, this song seems to be a satire of the beautiful nature of spring, but for the author nature was his only escape, and his harsh hatred and criticism of the real world, which he calls vulgar, are expressed as love and excitement for nature, allowing him to discover true joy in nature.

朝鮮，李朝初期の文学者。字は可宅，号は不憂軒。全羅道霊光の人。29歳で科挙に合格して生員になり53歳で文科に及第して官職についたが，端宗が王位を奪われると故郷に隠退し，後進の育成に生涯を過した。《不憂軒集》2巻があり，《賞春曲》《不憂軒歌》《不憂軒曲》等を残す。《賞春曲》は歌辞(詞)の嚆矢（こうし）とみなされる。この曲は一見春の美しい自然を諷詠したもののようであるが，作者にとって自然は唯一の逃避場所であり，彼が俗塵と呼ぶ現実の社会に対するきびしい嫌悪と批判が，自然に対する愛情と感激となって表現され，自然の中に真の楽しみを発見せしめている。
