Original Text
吉先生再痛高麗之亡。以門下注書投紱。居金烏山下。誓不仕我朝。我朝亦以禮待之。不奪其志。公聚郡中諸生徒。分爲兩齋。以閥閱之裔爲上齋。以鄕曲賤族爲下齋。敎以經史。課其勤惰。受業者日以百數。公嘗作閑居詩曰。盥水淸泉冷。臨身茂樹高。冠童來問字。聊可與逍遙。又云。臨溪茅屋獨閑居。月白風淸與有餘。外客不來山鳥語。移床竹塢臥看書。

Korean Translation

길재(吉再) 선생은 고려가 멸망함을 통탄하여 문하주서(門下注書)의 벼슬을 던지고 선산(善山) 금오산(金鰲山) 밑에 살면서 본조에서는 벼슬하지 않기로 맹서하였는데, 본조에서는 예로써 대하였으나 역시 그 뜻을 빼앗지 못했다. 공은 군(郡)의 여러 생도를 모아 두 재(齋)로 나누었는데, 양반의 후손들을 상재(上齋)로 삼고, 마을의 천한 가문의 아이들을 하재(下齋)로 삼아, 경(經)ㆍ사(史)를 가르치고 근(勤)ㆍ타(惰)를 시험하는데 하루에 가르침을 받는 사람이 백 수십 명이었다. 공이 일찍이 〈한거시(閑居詩)〉를 지었는데, 차갑고 맑은 샘물에 낮을 씻고 / 盥手淸泉冷 무성한 나무에 몸을 비긴다 / 臨身茂樹高 관자ㆍ동자가 찾아와 글자를 물으니 / 冠童來問字 이럭저럭 더불어 소요함도 좋구나 / 聊可與逍遙 하였고, 또 시냇가 초가에 혼자서 한가로이 / 臨溪茅屋獨閑居 달 밝고 바람 맑아 흥겹고나 / 月白風淸興有餘 바깥 손님 안 오니 산새와 벗하고 / 外客不來山鳥語 대밭 언덕에 평상을 옮겨 놓고 누워서 책을 본다 / 移床竹塢臥看書 하였다.

English Translation

Kil Chae 吉再 (1353–1419) grieved the fall of Koryŏ. He resigned from his position as Recorder of the Royal Secretariat (munha chusŏ) and withdrew to his residence in Kŭmo Mountain in Kyŏngsang province. He vowed not to serve at the court. Our court treated him with propriety and did not force him against his will. He gathered the students in his county and divided them into two groups: the children of yangban in the upper room and those of commoners in the lower room. He taught them the classics and histories and tested their dedication. The number of students who learned from him on a daily basis exceeded a hundred.Once he wrote a poem titled “Dwelling in Idleness” 閑居詩, 盥手淸泉冷臨身茂樹高冠童來問字聊可與逍遙 I wash my hands in the clear and cold fountain,and lean on a lush and tall tree.Small and big children come to learn how to read. This moment is as good as free and easy wandering. He also wrote, 臨溪茅屋獨閑居月白風淸興有餘外客不來山鳥語移床竹塢臥看書 In a thatched hut by a stream, I dwell alone in idleness. Silvery moon and clear wind, my inspiration abounds.With no visitors around, I converse with mountain birds.Bringing my bed into a bamboo thicket, I recline and browse through books.
