This paper aims to consider the perception of poetry and poetic world of Sapkyo An Suk-Kyong. Without any special mentor, Sapkyo acquired his learning by prominent men intimated with his father. He also admired Kim Chang-Heup and Lee Byoung Yeon, famous poets at that time, so that emulated and accepted their poetic consciousness and composition method. He believed, fundamentally, it’s resonable for him to foster and cultivate academic capacity, but what a true poem is to describe the poetic object with genuine feelings as well as its verisimilitude. In his poetry, it feels like strong sense of beauty of the uncommon and profound style because mostly they recite the beauty of natural landscape or a joy of retiring from the world into the nature. Moreover he strongly advocated the Plan for a Northern Expedition with thought of Song Si-Yeol as the guidelines in his life, and expressed his own desire to manifest the spirit of Joseon Dynasty again even though shrinking situation. In terms of composition method, he put emphasis on realistic description of scenery of the season without pretense, and spiritual meaning of it.
