A Korean Goryeo scholar and poet. His pen name was Meiso and his pen name was Somyongjae. He was from Incheon. In his youth, he became a monk to avoid the rebellions of military ministers such as Jeong Jung-bu, but he returned to secular life and entered the profession in 1180. He excelled in poetry and prose, and while he worked on composing imperial edicts for many years, he also devoted himself to composing poetry, and as a leader in the poetry world, his name as a poet became known even in China. He was influenced by Song Dynasty poetics and admired the poetic styles of Su Shi (Dongpo) and Huang Tingjian (Sangak). He wrote the "Yintaishu" and "Somyongjaeshu," and in particular, the three volumes of "Pakanshu" (Collection of Pogans) were the first collections of poetry and stories in Korea that also served as poetry critiques, along with Choi Ja's "Bokanshu," and became the origin of the poetics that flourished during the Joseon Dynasty.

朝鮮，高麗の文臣，詩人。字は眉叟，号は双明斎。仁川の人。若いころ一時鄭仲夫らの武臣の乱を避け僧侶となるが，還俗し1180年に登科。詩文に秀で，長年詔勅の製作に従事しながら詩作にはげみ，詩壇の盟主として中国にもその詩名が知られた。宋代詩学の影響をうけ蘇軾(東坡)と黄庭堅(山谷)の詩風を尊んだ。《銀台集》《双明斎集》の著書があり，とくに《破閑集》3巻は，崔滋の《補閑集》とともに詩評をかねた朝鮮最初の詩話集で，李朝時代に盛行する詩学の原点となった。
