Li Yu has many facets and is a representative figure by whom we can look into the period of late Ming and early Qing society in detail. However, there is a prejudice that the popular and entertainment attitude shown in novels and comedies will lead to the estimating about creation of poetry, amid doubts about authenticity, studies on Li yu's poems have been in the beginning stage in China and have hardly been done in Korea. This study is about 1,100 poems in Li Wong Shi Ji(笠翁詩集l) eft with a critical mind. I tried to conduct a precise reading and examine the thoughts and worries that Li Yu had during the important period of his life. In this paper, I read the entire collection of poems in order to grasp the overall picture of how Li Yu's diversified life was revealed in his poetry. Accordingly, his poems were divided into early years, war years, retirement years, middle ages, old age(1), and old age (2) according to the quarters of his life, and his representative works were reviewed. Through this review, it is hoped that a holistic understanding of Li Yu, a unique literary man in the period of turbulence, will be achieved.
