In the Dang age of China Li Po was well-known all over the world with Tu Fu. Their poems were much read in the last days of Silla and had a great influence on it.
Since the beginning of the Yi dynasty the poets of those days were less concerned about Li Po who believed in Buddism than Tu Fu who had Confucian ideas. For the government in the Yi dynasty established Confucius and got to take a growing interest in it. So, Li Po might as well begin to lose his popularity as compared with that of Tu Fu. Yet, the poets in those days had as much concern about Li Po as before.
The purpose to study this thesis is at once to investigate how to receive the poetry of Li Po and to research into the great influence which gave to Korean literature.
In the first attitude of receiving Li Po, they paid a tribute of admiration on his born talents and reputation aside from his poetry. And then they would imitate him and borrow his poetic techniques: that is, to incite his poetic dictions, or to derive the materials from his lines, or they went so far as to write their own poems changing his stanzas.
And also, Toegye's poetry was much influenced by Li Po's as the same ways of it.
The poets of the Yi dynasty composed a verse rhyming with the favorite words used by Li Po. This method has a profound meaning in the study of comparative literature.
The poets in Yi dynasty were deeply impressed by man and poet of Li Po and that conduced greatly to their poetry. Therefore, he may well be said to enhance the quality and value of Korean literature.
