This paper is a study of the aspects of korean poetry, written in chinese, of Shu, Kuh-Jeong(1420∼1488) known as a kind of great poet laureate in Choso˘n dynasty. It traces the trauma which makes some of his poetry ambiguous or evasive through the political and historical event finally to usurp the king Dan-jong. Perhaps, the ambiguity or the evasiveness is caused by a state of confusion between the sense of universal justice or loyalty to maintain his moral and political beliefs which inevitably destroy and kill him and his families and the lure of success in life by averting his eyes from them and accepting the political change a time. This torture in mind make him writing the ambiguous or the evasive some poems in his early and senescent age.
