This paper aims at reconsideration about poetic meaning of nature in Kim Cheon Taek’s sijo, based on the art trend of late Joseon dynasty. Studies about nature image in sijo have been made progress in many ways, but former studies usually focused on the linkage between politics and the poetic image of nature. Therefore, the nature image in late Joseon sijo, which were frequently written by middle class people like Kim Cheon Taek, wasn’t properly explained. Also, former studies overlooked the idea that sijo was written to sing. As this paper examined, the poetic meaning of nature could be diverse, because the most of sijos were song of the people in Seoul. Seoul’s art tendency was rashly changing in 18th century. This tendency made the nature image in sijo more consuming and poetic meaning of nature was getting closer to actual art circumstances. This paper is kind of case study to reconsider the whole idea of nature in sijo.
