This study reviewed how the poetry of Tao Yuanming were inherited in early Joseon, especially from the perspective of expansion, variation and reinterpretation. Among the He Tao shi, poems written to match Tao``s, written in early Joseon, we can find the influence of Jianzhu Tao Yuanming Ji(箋注陶淵明集 Works of Tao Yuanming with Annotation), Dongpo Xiansheng He Tao Shi(東坡先生和陶詩 Master Dongpo``s He Tao Shi) and The JIngkan Buzhu Dongpo Hetao Shihua(精刊補註東坡和陶詩話 Elaborate Edition of Dongpo``s He Tao Shi with Supplementary Annotations). This means poets in early Joseon received Tao Yuanming mainly through Tang Han(湯漢)``s annotations and Su Shi(蘇軾)``s He Tao shi Despite the influence of Su Shi, He Tao shi in early Joseon have some unique aspects distinctive not only from the works before but also from the East Asian tradition of He Tao shi. Kim Shi-seup strongly expressed discontent at the society. Nam Hyoon and Kim Jong-jik inherited Tao``s poetry which Su didn``t match. Nam created variations upon Tao Yuanming``s Pseudo Elegy Triology(擬挽歌辭三首). Kim Jong-jik rewrote Depicting Wine(述酒). They utilized the canon as a tool to express their circumstances. Though the poets in early Joseon received Tao through Su, their attitudes were quite different. Three Joseon poets wrote He Tao shi around the same time. Kim Jong-jik wrote them during 1474-5, Kim Shi-seup during 1473-83, and Nam in 1486. Their mutual relationship brought about very unique recognitions and variations of the canon. And this is a very distinguishing phenomenon through the history of Korea and East Asia as well.
