This thesis is a study on Gugok poems of Haeeun GangPilhyo(1764-1848), who is representative YeongNam Solon Confucianist during the latter Chosun dynasty. Gang is is a disciple of Sogok YunGwangSo which succeeded MeongJe YunJeung school hence succeeding Solon Confucianist Ugye SeongHon school. He wrote eight Gugok poems: (1) Gosan Gugok (高山九曲謹次武夷韻) and (2) Nisan Gugok(尼山九曲次武夷韻) poems (both (1) and (2) poems follow the rhyme scheme of Mui Gugok poem) mainly describe Seoin LeeI and YunJeung; (3) Susukong TwiGeoi Gugok(謹次漱石翁退溪九曲) and (4) Susukong Dosan Gugok(次漱石翁陶山九曲韻) poems (both (3) and (4) poems follow the rhyme scheme of Susukong Dosan Gugok poem) mainly describe Namin TwiGeoi LeeHwang; (5) Oksan Gugok(謹次玉山九曲韻) (which follows the rhyme scheme of HwaeJe Oksan Gugok poem) and (6) Meongsan Gugok poem(明山九曲謹次武夷韻) (which follows the rhyme scheme of Mui Gugok poem) mainly describe HwaeJe LeeUnJuk; (7) Daemeongsan Gugok(大明山九曲敬次武夷韻) poem which follows the rhyme scheme of Muidoga poem) and (8) Bubgeoi Gugok poem(法溪九曲歌) mainly describe Bonghwa Bubjun where he lived. Especially, Bubgeoi Gugok poems sing Bubjun where he lived and express his academic status. Daemeongsan Gugok poems present his family history, identity and loyalty about Chinese Myeung Dynasty. Bubgeoi Gugok poem was influenced by Gosan Gugok poem, formed by 3chapters 6 phrases, and composed with 5 words per line. The poem takes a reverse order going upstream (i.e., not going downstream) while taking an example in Mui Gugok poem. However, Daemeongsan Gugok poems go downstream. It shows that he creatively succeeded ancient sages. In other words, he had an open mentality, which is considered an aspect of Solon.
