Hogok’s Remarks on Poetry (Compendium of Remarks on Poetry)
Entry Text
洪於海早有詩才。多作警語。鄭東溟特愛之。至有傳衣缽之語。休窩柏谷一時詞伯。互相推許矣。中年橫罹禍網。廢閣鉛槧。卜築於錦水濱。優遊自適。其一律曰。名區物色屬中秋。明月清風共一樓。席上又兼絲竹肉。人間何羨鶴錢州。十年京洛無青眼。千里江湖有白鷗。卜築已成終老計。向來榮辱總浮漚。極有風調。可以傳詠。絲竹肉鶴錢州對偶精奇。此乃古今詩人所未發者。睡村李子三亟稱之。息庵金相嘗與於海結為詩伴。每稱。詩乃君之本色。其所與酬唱。多載息庵本集。絲竹肉三字出晉書孟嘉語。註。言肉聲勝如絲竹聲。
Hong Manjong had a poetic talent from early age and wrote many striking expressions (kyŏngŏ). Chŏng Tugyŏng particularly cherished him and even spoke of passing his robe and alms bowl to Hong. Im Yuhu (sobriquet Hyuwa [Restful Nest]) and Kim Tŭksin were his contemporary master poets and they esteemed and commended each other. In his mid-life, Hong unfortunately was caught in the web of misfortune and neglected writing. He built a house on the bank of the Brocade River and was carefree and self-contented. A regulated verse by him reads, 名區物色屬中秋明月淸風共一樓席上又兼絲竹肉人間何羨鶴錢州十年京洛無靑眼千里江湖有白鷗卜築已成終老計向來榮辱總浮漚 In this famous scenic place,mid-autumn has come.Bright moon and cool breezeencirlcle the tower.Again at the banquet are playingstrings, pipes, and meat.Why should mortals envycranes, money, and Yangzhou?Ten years in the capital,I saw no friendly dark eyes.A thousand li away in rivers and lakes,I have white gulls for company. With the house already built,I can fulfill my plans for old age.Honor and shame that draw nearare altogether floating bubbles. The poem is exceptionally charming (p’ungjo) and is suitable to be widely recited (chŏnyŏng). The paralleling of “strings, pipes, and voices” and “cranes, money, and Yangzhou” is refined and unique. This is unfound in the works of both ancient and modern-day poets, hence Yi Yŏ gave utmost praise. Kim Sŏkchu once was Hong Manjong’s poetry companion, and he always said, “To you, poetry is natural (ponsaek).” Many of the poems they exchanged are recorded in Kim’s poetry anthology. The three characters “strings, pipes, and voices” are an expression by Meng Jia found in the Jin shu 晉書 (Book of Jin). Original Annotation: They describe that the sound of human voices surpasses the sound of strings and pipes.
