| Shin Suk Jung built his characteristic poem world that added imagination to nature with the purpose of preserving the language of the nation during the dark period. During the Japanese oppressive occupation period, after Kim Ki Rim evaluated the poet as a shepherd poet who plotted an Eden far away from the mixed up field of the modern civilization, he has been traditionally called nature poet or shepherd poet. However, considering the period was under the colonial rule, although Kim Ki Rim's expression was cautious one with census in his mind, it should not be overlooked any longer that he was continually evaluated as a shepherd poet.This study focuses on the resistance spirit of the poet Shin Suk Jung with reflection on nature. The second chapter pondered the meaning of the shepherd god and Eden plot focusing on Shin Suk Jung's autography and Kim Ki Rim's poem criticism. In the third and fourth chapter, his concrete works were analyzed focusing on his poems "candle light" and "sad shepherd song". Five basic colors were properly assigned on the symbolic language the poet Shin Suk Jung set up, and one day's beginning from twilight to dawn through night, and on the elapse of time, the order was Autumn, Winter and Spring, making Spring the arrival season and May arrival month, waiting and prophesying the day of liberation of the Korean nation.The characteristics of his poems are that the dark night or Winter was not completely regarded negatively, but it was looked at as the time to having to wait in the process of having Spring. And his poems did not feature fierce sun or hot Summer. It seems that Summer was excluded as the nation's sovereignty was deprived in August of 1910.Shin Suk Jung throughout his poem world, expressed the resistance spirit against Japanese by clinging to the creative mother tongue poems, facing the crisis of losing the nation's language. Therefore Shin Suk Jung must be re-evaluated as a resistance poet who dreamt escape from the colonialism and consistently aspired the liberation of the fatherland rather than as a shepherd poet. |
