Abstract
This work is done in order to identify the literary status of 14 verses of Kim Jongchik’s Taklaga. Taklaga is a literary work drawing upon stories of Kim Jongchik collecting from people of Jeju whom he encountered at Seonghwan station. In this poem, he embodied literally folklore, local products, and sea of Jeju. Kim Jongchik was sacrificed by the event of sawha, but was later reinstated by the honor of sarim. Accordingly, Taklaga was continuously mentioned by many junior scholars. Kim Sangheon expressed his responsibilities as a king’s inspector as well as king’s education projects. While Lee Jeung recorded his schedule in Jeju, he also collected the record of folklores and customs of marginal regions of Jeju. Kang Sukkyu revealed the feeling of a deep farewell by sending Jeju pastor Lee Heeryong; and Kim Chingui showed a warm hearted view towards Jeju people. Meanwhile, Nam Gumyeong comprehensively expressed the reality and ideals of Jeju through three series of poems drawing upon Taklaga. All of these poems delicately expressed their feelings for Jeju based upon what they saw and heard along with their respect for Kim Jongchik. Taklaga can be evaluated as the very first work that presents Jeju's customs and products comprehensively. And it can be said that the literary position of Taklaga is unique in that many juniors have made reference to it in composing their own poems.
