This paper aims at studying inscription of Si-Yeol, Song with the pen
name of Woo Am(1607 - 1689), a scholar of metaphysics and writer in
17th century. So far, Si-Yeol, Song has been regarded as the scholar
studying the ethics. Furthermore, he vigorously wrote many books as
seeing SongJaDaeJeon.
He produced 500 inscriptions, which are the largest volume compared
with other collection of works. However, his literary ability has not been
recognized rightly until now. Thus, as a reaction to this tendency mentioned
above, his inscriptions were fully discussed. Numerous inscriptions will be a
steppingstone to judge the level of artistic achievement. He wrote about
the matters of common people, women, servants as well as the royal
family and high-class group. He not only describe the things as they are
according to the basic principle of inscription, but also pursued to write in
literary style. His writing style was influenced by Han Yoo, one of eight
writers in the Dang dynasty and writer of Guyanhsangesa․Leewonbeanyuepye
and Yang-Soo, Goo, a writer of Sangangteaenpye. He even
received the style of Joo Ja's inscription called the ideological root of his
writing. However, his imitative style goes beyond the style of the original
works and transformed them into his own style. So he constantly created and achieved the artistic technique. He also changed the inscription
regarded as a practical writing into an artistic form of writing.
Therefore, he is believed to be a scholar studying the ethics. Evermore,
he must be in a permanent position in the prose in 17th century.
