The literature space in Shin Gyeonglim’s works is generally considered as the three of the road, the river and the marketplace. Therefore, in this thesis I tried to follow the specific places appearing in his early literature space. The poet was born at Sangibjang in Yeonhari of Noeunmyun in Chungju city and had his childhood, and grew up there. Going along the road is the essence of the poet’s life and literature. On the road he dreamed of his future and got to know what’s the life. And also he became acquainted with lots of people and got to know the history and the society of the area he went about. When he went to a primary school, the poet went further and saw the river. Afterwards, the river, the road and the marketplace became one in his literature space ‘Mokgye’. The poem ‘Mokgyejangteo’finished after three years’having worked hard is thought of as a masterpiece to himself and others. To the dwellers in Mokgye used as a place name in the poem ‘Mokgyejangteo’, the poem becomes central to the restoration and the fostering of a river port literature such as ‘Mokgyebyulshinje’, a tug of war and other folk literature. A series of ‘Mokgye’Projects planned by Chungju city should be developed laying stress on the poem ‘Mokgyejangteo’and the poet’s episodes related with‘ Mokgye’. In this thesis I want to regard the poet’s literature space as a basis of the above projects and to make clear the specific places their motives appearing in the poems.
