Minister Kim Sŏkchu produced appraisals of Korean poets from Silla, Koryŏ, and our dynasty. He wrote, “Ch’oe Ch’iwŏn, a thousand-foot sheer cliff, a ten-thousand-foot giant wave. Chŏng Chisang, a hundred jewels on tassels, embroidery of a thousand silk yarns. Yi Illo, a screen of clouds washed by a rain, a mirror of water holding the sky. Yi Kyubo, a golden bird piercing through the sky, a heavenly dragon dancing in the sea. Chin Hwa, blooming flowers in auspicious snow, brilliant colors of propitious clouds. Yi Chehyŏn, engulfing misty rain, transforming double rainbows. Yi Saek, bending down and drawing from celestial river, then pouring it out into the blue sea. Chŏng Mongju, a leaping fish in a clear stream, a soaring bird in the open sky. Yi Sungin, a thousand chariots pressing on like thunder, ten thousand horses gathering like clouds.”He also wrote, “Sŏ Kŏjŏng, massed snows of Emei Mountain, steaming evening clouds of Langfeng Summit. Sŏng Kan, a crane flying over Green Field Mountain, a phoenix nesting in the Cinnabar Cave. Kim Chongjik, a bright moon chasing away the clouds, a lotus emerging from the water. Kim Sisŭp, silvery trees draped in frost, a pearly terrace teeming with moonlight. Yi Chu, auspicious mushrooms and propitious orchids, gentle breeze and sweet rain. Pak Ŭn, a strong ancient fortress, mighty Shanhai Pass. Yi Haeng, a night journey to the Golden Valley Garden, a spring feast at Jade Tower. Pak Sang, moving fog over Incense Burner Peak, roaring waters of Stony Rapids. Chŏng Saryong, flying cascades rushing down the cliff, a clear thunder striking a pavilion. Sin Kwanghan, fish swimming in a clear mirror, flowers donning a tiered precipice.” He also wrote, “Pak Sun, painted wood brackets perched in mist, a carved corridor standing on a ravine. Im Ŏngnyŏng, a sudden shower over a mountain fortress, chirping cicadas on windy branches. Im Hyŏngsu, clear rapids in a hidden ravine, a tiered tower on a steep cliff. No Susin, a lonely rock on a precipitous cliff, an old tree covered in green vines. Ko Kyŏngmyŏng, singing the wind and puffing out dews, ascending to the River of Stars riding the evening clouds. Hwang Chŏnguk, a swift falcon fighting the wind, a valiant fighter shooting at the eagle. Ch’oe Rip, the Happy Pavilion across the Milky Way, an old tree waiting for spring. Ch’oe Kyŏngch’ang, morning bells from the Golden Palace, immortals’ canes on the jade steps. Paek Kwanghun, cold cicadas’ sudden chirpings, early autumn in a sparse forest. Yi Tal, a lotus in an autumn river, laughing at oneself swaying with the wind.” He also said, “Yi Chŏnggyu, the clouds rolling above green Wutong trees, a moon hanging above the Fusang tree. Yi Sugwang, bountiful peach trees glowing at night, copious peach blossoms shining in the day. Yi Ch’unyŏng, a frosty moon in the withering forest, autumn clouds over a gorge. Kwŏn P’il, rising clouds over strange peaks, rosy clouds strewn above a deep ravine. Yi Annul, a dew-drenched pavilion by an expansive river, a rainbow bridge reclining over a ravine. Ch’a Ch’ŏllo, a swift roc crossing over the sea, a band of horses galloping to the sky. Yi Chunwŏn 李春元 (1571–1634; sobriquet Kuwŏn [Nine Garden]), piebald horses and white horses, jewelled bits and beaded saddles. Cho Hŭiil, shrouding clouds cloaking the moon, scattered stars and soaking dews. Yi Sik, steep rocks a hundred-feet tall, withered pines ten-spans wide. Chŏng Tugyŏng, long winds fanning the sea, giant waves reaching the sky.” Sin Hŭm’s writing rivaled that of Yi Sugwang’s, but only he was left out. Could it be that Kim Sŏkchu dared not appraise Sin who was Kim’s maternal ancestor? I find none of Kim’s analogical descriptions of various poets’ styles (ch’egyŏk) to be inappropriate, and, therefore, decided to include them in my collection.
