In this thesis, I’ve inspected Lee Jeong hu’s life and his poetry. He was the eldest son of Lee Hyun Ki, a pupil of Jang bock Choo, Sa Mi Huen, and he was impelled to live as a scholar by his father. At last, he became a talented student of his father’s teacher, Sa Mi Huen. Under Sa Mi Huen’s induction, he encountered the study of Tue Gue, however, for a reason that his place was adjacent to Nam Myung’s home and he kept close relationships with Sim Jae, Cho Kung Sheop who were to be believed as successors of Nam Myung’s study, his studying propensity was much more closer to that of Nam Myung’s practical ethics.
He restricted to write poetry to his pupils, but he himself seemed to be enjoying writing poetry. When he got together with his friends, he frequently wrote poems. He not only wrote poems, but also criticized other person’s poems sometimes.
Half of his poems are elegies and the others are ballads and free verses. The elegies are not like general elegies sang about oneself’s sad feelings or expressed one’s minds, most of all, describe his life.
On the other hand, the ballads, even though a ballad has to follow the fixed frame of others, represent his feelings through lyrical expressions.
Like this, his elegies show narrative tendencies and his ballads show lyrical tendencies. I could not manifest why he had wrote elegies narratively and wrote ballads lyrically, but this might be the result that he thought separately between an elegy and a ballad.
